Add an extremely rare and historic collector's item to your collection with this beautiful antique compass pendant.
This type of jewelry was traditionally worn at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century as a 'fob charm' on a gentleman's watch chain (chatelaine), but nowadays it also makes a stunning, characterful pendant for a modern necklace.
The pendant features a richly decorated gold case that has been certified by a professional assay as at least 14-karat gold. The back of the case features beautiful scrollwork and engraving with a clean, blank cartouche in the center, which could potentially still be engraved with initials. Inside this gold case is a functioning, non-precious vintage compass with a charmingly weathered dial and blued needle. The bail is made of base metal for extra durability while worn.
A rare piece of jewelry full of symbolism, the perfect compass to always find your way home!
