This is an incredibly unique bracelet! I have never seen one quite like it. The bracelet itself is gold filled with natural pyrite stones. The clasp is engraved with a petite bird, possibly a swallow. And attached to the clasp is a goldstone heart compass!
The symbolism makes me think of a gift to a loved one or sweetheart, perhaps from a sailor? Swallow and compass symbolism is connected with safe returns.
Circa late 19th century.
+++ Measurements +++
Bracelet measures 6 1/4". Heart compass measures 7/8" x 7/8"
+++ Condition +++
Lovely condition overall with some minor age-related wear. Small dark spot on one side of the goldstone heart. Some wear to two of the pyrite stones, as shown. Compass does move, but does not appear to function properly.
