The smooth weight of silver and gold, the deep calm of blue sapphire – this compass pendant holds the quiet strength of constancy. Its flowing patterns trace the unseen lines that guide us through life, like the Earth’s meridians circling back to center. A talisman for journeys both inner and outer.
Symbolism of the Meridian Compass Pendant
Inspired by the circles of latitude and longitude that encircle the planet, this piece of compass jewellery speaks of balance, connection, and returning home to oneself.
The name Meridian reflects our constant relationship with direction – the invisible lines that connect where we are to where we’re going.
Crafted in Silver, Gold, and Sapphire
Hand-worked in sterling silver with threads of warm gold, its design flows in organic curves that catch the light from every angle. At the centre rests a natural blue sapphire – a stone long associated with loyalty, truth, and wisdom. Three small droplets of gold adorn the frame of the working compass set into the back, echoing stars on a clear night.
A Working Compass Pendant with Meaning
Hidden within lies a genuine Francis Barker compass, carefully set and sealed to be waterproof – a detail that ensures it’s ready for real life as well as meaning. Elegant yet functional, it offers both beauty and direction to its wearer.
Given as a gift to celebrate a fiancée’s 50th birthday, this compass pendant carries wishes for continued adventure, love, and safe passage through life.
