Rare and captivating Victorian goldstone compass charm or pendant fob. This exquisite antique compass is a true treasure, a testament to the craftsmanship and curiosity of the era. It's more than just a functional tool; it's a piece of history, a work of art in its own right.
Crafted from hexagonal cut goldstone, this compass is a remarkable fusion of aesthetics and functionality. Goldstone, with its deep, shimmering specks of copper or other minerals, exudes a sense of mystery and wonder. The hexagonal shape adds a touch of symmetry and elegance to its design. At the top of the compass, a small silver loop beckons, making it suitable to wear as a pendant or attach to a charm bracelet or fob. This versatility ensures that it can be treasured and showcased in various ways, adapting to your style and preferences.
While the compass bears the marks of its age, it remains in very good antique condition, a testament to its resilience over the decades. There are a couple of tiny nicks to the edge of the goldstone, visible only under close scrutiny, which only add character and authenticity to the piece. Remarkably, despite the passage of time, the compass continues to fulfil its intended purpose. While the inside compass marking ring may be slightly out of line, the compass itself appears to be working and fully functional.
This delightful antique compass measures approximately 22mm x 21mm, with a depth of 5.8mm, and weighs a substantial 5 grams. Please note that the antique box is not included, but this charming antique compass will be lovingly presented in a new box. Victorian goldstone compass is a rare and exceptional piece of the past, ready to be part of your present.
What is goldstone.
Goldstone is a type of glass that is often mistaken for a natural gemstone due to its shimmering appearance. It is made by suspending tiny metallic particles, typically copper or copper salts, within a glass matrix. This unique combination gives goldstone its characteristic sparkly or glittery appearance, which closely resembles the look of natural aventurine quartz or other minerals containing reflective mineral inclusions.
