Compass Demi-Parure - Woodtone Bracelet and Clip-On Earring Set


This eye-catching 3-piece set is a whimsical maritime departure from the everyday. Matching compasses are set in a lovely, rich woodtone and are lined with a silvery goldtone (or, if you prefer, a golden silvertone).

The compass constructions are an inch in diameter; the earings are compass alone, and thus have the same diameter, whereas the bracelet is set on a goldtone metal disk which brings it to a diameter of 1.5 inches. The back of the bracelet disk has an embossed helm, so you'll always know who's in charge.

This set is in wonderful condition. The wooden setting is free of blemish, and the metal is lovely with only a small amount of tarnish around the decorative helm-in-bas-relief. The bracelet chain is 7 inches long, and the clasp closes securely. The earring clips also close securely so you needn't worry about your jewelry going overboard, and as an added bonus, these are actual working compasses so you can always count on this lovely set to point you in the right direction...just so long as your magnetic personality doesn't get in the way.
