The Labradorite Guiding Star Compass pendant captures the wonder of navigation and the light of hope. Its hand-textured silver surface reflects life’s unpredictable paths, while droplets of gold mark moments of meaning along the way. At the centre, a glowing labradorite shimmers like a star seen through mist, a quiet reminder that guidance often comes when we least expect it.
A Guiding Star in Compass Form
For centuries, travellers have looked to the stars for direction. This compass pendant honours that tradition through its four-point star design, symbolising clarity and courage. The labradorite at its heart adds depth and intuition, said to awaken inner guidance and imagination. Together, these details turn the pendant into a wearable compass for life’s journey.
Crafted with Symbolism and Care
Each element is created by hand, from the intricate textures to the solid gold droplets that bring warmth to the silver. The tactile surface gives character and invites touch, while the distinctive bail lets the chain glide smoothly through. Designing and making it was a pleasure, a dance of precision and intuition that gave form to something truly one-of-a-kind.
A Compass of Meaning and Legacy
This compass pendant now journeys with its new owner, a lover of unique jewellery who wanted a watertight compass of exceptional quality. It’s a piece made to last a lifetime and to pass from mother to daughter, a talisman of direction, strength, and love that endures through generations.
