Santa Lucia (Saint Lucia) street and Triq San Gwann are some of the main streets, visit stores Jos Debono, Ave Maria Jewellery, Frank Zampa Jewellery. I bought a beautiful pair hoops made in the adjoining workshop at St. Elmo’s Fire Jewellery shop. They also have a strong collection of the lacework metal jewellery, traditional craft. You will find lots of religious symbols, medallions or amulets like the cornicello. This is like a gold horn or chilli shape charm that has a special meaning in Malta and the south of Italy, offering protection. I bought a cornicello from Frank Zampa, pictured in the photo. It's a beautiful family-owned business through the generations, and Frank himself still comes to work early each morning, with his son keeping the legacy alive.
