Antique 9ct Gold Compass Fob Pendant
This is a gorgey little compass fob, the needle moves freely but I wouldn’t try to navigate with it! It was once attached to the end of a gent’s Albert chain, but now serves as a beautifully quirky objet to wear on a chain as a pendant.
The warm 9ct gold encases the glass covered compass, and decorated links are mounted onto the sides which go up to form the bale. These links may have echoed those of the Albert chain it once adorned.
