Originating its life as a watch fob, this lovely antique Victorian 18K gold filled compass takes on a new direction as the perfect good luck charm pendant for a necklace. The thick, round glass-covered working compass has red and black enamel directionals and a cobalt blue working pin on the inside. A twisted ribbon braid encircles the compass which is the same on the back and front. The pendant fob is wonderful for a dear friend, graduation, or even for layering with others.
A compass provides guidance and navigation through life's unexpected twists and turns. Each cardinal direction has a significant meaning. North represents home and wisdom.

Our collection consists of pieces that are of antique and vintage condition, which means that all our items are second-hand and used. Customers are not purchasing 'new', 'perfect' and 'unworn items', and as such, should expect wear and imperfection. It should be expected that these pieces will have normal wear and tear according to their age. Wear could include patina, scuffs on the gold, slightly loose but secure stones, and light scratches on the stones. We try our best to photograph everything accurately with detailed pictures that can be enlarged and will point out any flaws we feel are noteworthy. Please review the photos carefully before purchasing and reach out to us with any questions.
