I love nothing more than when one of my friends asks me to find them something on eBay, and I come through, and then they're pleased. This happened just last week with my friend Valerie, who was looking for something I would never think to buy--a compass necklace. Valerie has an offbeat, pretty, urban-earthy style, and this was exactly the kind of unusual item that would complement her super-feminine clothes. Plus, as I found out, compass necklaces are just plain cool—like a surprising take on a pocket watch, except not as weird; or a watch necklace, except not as granny-ish. I found several on the site today including this Victorian version, which I'd wear with a flowy floral dress, and this Girl Scout style, which begs for a fitted tee, blazer, and jeans.

    I think you'd find a better selection of working compass necklaces on etsy, all things handmade.

    Way to thinly veil that spam there. Reported.

    I wonder if this could even be considered steampunk. I love things that look like this and I'm always finding good stuff on eBay. Etsy I've found most people have no idea what their stuff should cost and end up overpricing their stuff horribly.
