Victorian Goldstone Compass Pendant • Antique Hexagonal Fob Charm • Working Compass • 19th Century Goldstone Jewellery
$208.04
Late 19th century Victorian goldstone compass pendant 18 inch corded strap. A beautiful blend of artistry, engineering, and rich gemstone shimmer. Crafted with a distinctive hexagonal goldstone body, this antique fob radiates deep coppery sparkle, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship of the Victorian era. This charming piece features a small silver loop bale, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or added to a vintage charm bracelet. Despite its age, the compass remains fully functional and points true, making it both a striking piece of jewellery and a delightful historical object.
The goldstone’s glittering surface evokes the creativity and symbolism of Victorian design — often associated with ambition, guidance, and good fortune, making this pendant meaningful as well as beautiful.
Goldstone is a type of glass that is often mistaken for a natural gemstone due to its shimmering appearance. It is made by suspending tiny metallic particles, typically copper or copper salts, within a glass matrix. This unique combination gives goldstone its characteristic sparkly or glittery appearance, which closely resembles the look of natural aventurine quartz or other minerals containing reflective mineral inclusions.
