T\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehese majestic motifs allowed Victorians to express powerful virtues like courage, loyalty, and majesty through their personal jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful example was both decorative and functional. It would have been worn as a fob on a pocket watch chain and could also be used as a compass. Although lets face it, the wearer of this piece wasn't likely to every be stranded and directionless, and so the compass once again was more likely a Victorian symbol. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from solid 9ct gold (XRF tested), with original glass on one side and banded agate on the other, this piece is chunky, heavy and just gorgeous. Naturally we wouldn't advise using the compass to find your way home as it's no longer accurate but it sure looks great. The surface scratches on the glass show that this piece was worn a lot and so the fact it remains in the condition it's in, is a true testament to how well it's made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight - 39mm including bail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth - 26mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight - 12.4g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bait \u0026 Duck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57445167006040,"sku":"26268","price":855.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/8299\/8104\/files\/IMG_9564.jpg?v=1780590697","url":"https:\/\/baitandduck.com\/products\/victorian-9ct-gold-banded-agate-lion-compass-fob","provider":"Bait \u0026 Duck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
