Buy me compass jewelry to help me find my way

A while back, I almost bought one of those compass rings you see in cute little shops sometimes. I think compass jewelry would be very handy for times when I exit the subway and am not sure which way I’m facing, and thus which direction I need to walk (generally I just pick a direction and turn around if I end up wrong, to avoid looking like a lost tourist, a.k.a. easy target for muggers/attackers/evil villians). But since none of the compass rings were actually functional (I spun in circles to test), I passed on buying one. There’s really no point if it doesn’t work.

Today, though, I came across this super gorgeous compass necklace (pictured at left), hand-crafted by Jeanne Flint. I think I neeeeed to own this, but the one I want is $118 (there’s an entire line), and thus far I’ve been unsuccessful in my search for an uber-rich sugardaddy to buy me gifts without requiring any sort of dating/touching/interaction.

I also came across COGnitivecreations at Etsy.com — another jeweler doing very interesting things with compasses. Check out this necklace, for $45 — one of several for sale at her Etsy shop.


I think a compass necklace would make a very nice Valentine’s Day gift! If you purchase one for your girlfriend, maybe you should buy a 2nd for me as a thank you for recommending something so novel and lovely.
