Compass Photo Necklace
Every Compass Points Somewhere. Yours Points Home.
A compass rose set inside an open circle, with a stone at its centre no bigger than a lentil — hold it to the light and a photograph appears. The Compass Photo Necklace works as a compass necklace to everyone who sees it, and as something far more personal to whoever is wearing it. For the person who travels, the one who moved away, or the couple who met somewhere neither of them is from.
Features
- Your own photo set inside the projection stone — revealed by holding it to the light
- Eight-point compass rose suspended inside an open circle, with a single clear crystal at the north point
- Available in gold, silver and rose gold — choose your finish above

- Arrives boxed, ready to give

Perfect For
A compass necklace carries the idea of finding your way back, which makes it a natural gift for someone leaving home — a graduation, a move abroad, a new job in a new city. It works as a compass necklace for men just as well as for women, since the pendant is small and the design is symmetrical rather than decorative. Also given for anniversaries, Father's Day, retirement, and as a memorial piece for someone whose photograph you would rather carry than frame.
Why You Will Love It
Most personalised jewellery announces itself. This does the opposite. From a normal distance it is a neat compass pendant, and nobody would guess there is a picture inside it. Only the wearer knows, and only they decide who gets shown. That gap between the plain surface and the private thing underneath is the whole point — and it is why people who buy one tend to come back for a second in a different finish.

Gold vermeil is an affordable alternative to solid gold and can last for a long time with proper care.
- Remove your jewellery before applying lotions, sunscreen, perfume, or when cleaning with harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach).
- Clean it using warm soapy water; avoid using sterling silver cleansers.
- Avoid exposure to chlorine, as it can discolor or damage your gold vermeil pieces. Remove your jewellery before entering pools or hot tubs.
- Keep in mind that all metals can tarnish over time. If your gold vermeil develops dark spots, you can gently rub it with a baking soda paste to restore its shine and colour.
Most of our jewellery is crafted from genuine gold vermeil. Gold vermeil pieces are made with precious metals and thick gold plating, offering superior quality compared to standard gold-plated jewellery. They are safe for sensitive skin, water-resistant, tarnish-free, and durable enough for everyday wear.
Yes, our necklaces are waterproof and tarnish-free. However, it's recommended to remove your jewellery when exposed to harsh chemicals, whether in the pool, kitchen, bathroom, or workplace, to maintain its quality.
