Functional, working compass pendant in handmade 10 karat gold setting. Custom made to order.
I have made a gold bezel setting with four points for this great little button compass. The compass is very high quality – you can look at search engines for information about it – it is called a Francis Barker NATO survival compass.
I originally thought that these compasses were waterproof but they are not. They are built for function, not jewelry. Water can get into the compass and it will still function fine and will evaporate. When the water evaporates it can leave staining though. So, I would advise against getting this wet.
The compass measures 15.2 mm round and 5.4 mm in depth. The setting I have made for it extends a bit farther out than that.
The compass can be viewed in the dark with two luminous dots for North and one luminous dot for South.
