True North Compass Ship Wheel Blue Steel Necklace

North, and a wheel to steer by.

The True North Compass Ship Wheel Blue Steel Necklace sets a polished steel ship wheel at the centre of a compass medallion, the four cardinal points lettered N, E, S and W around a ring of blue coated steel cable. Built in polished 316L stainless steel, it is a mens steel necklace that reads as nautical without a single anchor on it.

The blue cable is real twisted steel wire, the same stuff yachts rig with, wound into a ring around the open wheel. It gives the piece a genuine marine feel and a flash of colour a plain steel necklace never has.

The 23'' chain sits low on the chest, long enough to wear over a t-shirt and easy to layer with a shorter chain. It is a straightforward everyday mens compass necklace and an easy gift for him. The steel is waterproof and will not tarnish, so it stays on through the shower, the gym and the sea.

The Meaning Behind the Compass and the Ship Wheel

A compass points somewhere whether or not you are looking at it, which is why sailors trusted it over their own sense of direction. True north is the fixed one, the direction that never drifts the way magnetic north does. Put a ship wheel at its centre and the piece says the rest: knowing where north is and steering toward it are two different jobs, and both of them are yours.
