Victorian Turquoise & Pearl Compass Ring

A wonderfully unusual Victorian turquoise and split pearl ring with celestial design elements. At its centre sits a vivid turquoise, surrounded by delicate split pearls and intricate gold detailing arranged in an almost compass like formation. Further turquoise accents sit to either side, creating a design that feels somewhere between a guiding star and an antique compass, beautifully balanced across the hand.
 
Turquoise held particularly romantic meaning during the Victorian period and was closely associated with love, protection and remembrance. It became especially connected with the sentiment “forget me not”, making turquoise jewellery a beautiful token of affection and a reminder of someone held dear.
 
We particularly love the symbolism within this piece. The compass like design evokes guidance and finding one’s way, while the celestial details bring to mind stars used for centuries to navigate through the darkness. Romantic, symbolic and wonderfully individual, this is a Victorian jewel that feels like a tiny compass for the wearer, a reminder to follow your own path and never forget those you love along the way.
