This isn’t the first time I’ve needed some direction, so I know I’ve made a compass pendants before, but I’m once again turning in circles and trying to choose the best path forward, and I’ll take all the help I can get, even in the form of a compass-adjacent pendant.

I didn’t mean to make a pendant about the eclipse, but there’s no denying that the iridescent center and the rings are reminiscent of what happened this week. So many friends traveled to see totality and their photos are amazing, but even being here in MA where the temperature dropped and crowds gathered to watch the sky was pretty magical.

It’s the imperfections that offer beauty and depth. There’s a reason that we’re most interested in the four-leaf clover than all the thousands of three-leafed ones. At first I looked at this pendant and was frustrated by the marks I’d left in the adhesive as I placed the beads along the edges. But they create shadows and balance the manufactured perfection of the teardrop charm. And in the middle, the gem still shines, which is what it’s really all about.
