Antique Edwardian 9ct Rose Gold Nautical Compass Pendant/Fob Circa 1905-1910
Please note, chains are for display only unless otherwise stated.
This delightful antique Edwardian compass pendant, crafted in 9-carat rose gold around 1905–1910, captures the romance and adventure of a bygone age.
Designed in a charming nautical style reminiscent of a ship’s steering wheel, it features delicate ball details around its circular frame and a double-sided working compass (or at least one that appears to be working, however no guarantee of accuracy) visible through clear glass panes. The warm glow of rose gold enhances its maritime character, giving it both elegance and a touch of whimsy.
Perfectly sized to wear on a fine chain or to hang from your favourite antique watch chain, this piece is as versatile as it is symbolic. In the early 20th century, compasses were treasured not only as practical tools but also as powerful tokens of guidance, protection, and safe passage. They were often gifted to loved ones embarking on journeys, representing the wish that they would always find their way home.
Steeped in sentiment and beautifully made, this nautical-themed compass pendant fob is a wonderful blend of craftsmanship and meaning — a small but captivating reminder of direction, adventure, and the enduring pull of home.
