Handcrafted in silver and gold, this Viking’s Compass Necklace celebrates the ancient skill of navigating by light. At its centre, a faceted iolite glows in shades of indigo – the same stone Vikings once used to find their way by the sun, thanks to its ability to filter light and reveal direction even through haze or cloud. Turn the pendant over to discover a real, working Francis Barker compass, waterproof and ready for adventure.
Iolite: The Stone of True Direction
Vikings are believed to have used iolite’s pleochroism – its way of shifting colour with the light – as a natural navigational aid on long sea voyages. Here, that same optical magic becomes a symbol of clarity, intuition, and trust in one’s inner bearings.
A Compass of Devotion and Discovery
With its four-point star and golden accents, this pendant was designed as a gift of love and guidance – a wearable compass that keeps direction close to the heart. Both enduring and elegant, it’s a reminder to stay true to your path, wherever life leads.
Details: Handcrafted in sterling silver and 18k gold. Diameter 18 mm. Working, waterproof Francis Barker compass inside.
