Compass Rose Necklace

The compass rose has appeared on charts and maps since the 1300's. It displays the orientation of the cardinal directions north, south, east and west and their intermediate points. Interestingly , the original use of a compass rose was to indicate the directions of the wind, not the direction of the body or vessel. Please see below for a size reference.
