A purse/backpack charm that can come in handy in an emergency!! This lovely charm can attach to a purse or backpack and in an emergency can possibly even save a life. How, you ask? Well, let's look at it:
There is a vivid blue emergency whistle (that matches the lovely sequined mermaid tail) If someone is in a dire situation where they need help, a whistle helps other people locate them or may scare off an attacker.
Secondly, there is a small working compass attached to the chain. If someone is lost in the woods or lost at sea with the ability to navigate, a compass is a well known tool to find your way to safety.
Thirdly, there is a miniature knife hanging from the chain. It's very small and not something you could defend yourself with, but it could cut fishing line, zip ties or help in other small ways that a sharp knife can. It is shaped like a fish, and unobtrusively fits in with the ocean theme, yet opens up to a small sharp blade and closes for safety.
Additionally, to any onlooker, this lovely purse/backpack charm doesn't even seem more than a beautiful decorative accessory or art object. It fools the eye with its ocean-flavored beauty: The mermaid tail is sequined loveliness, the charm that reads: "may you always have a shell in your pocket and sand between your toes" is a winsome note of good wishes, and the turquoise flower beads and sea horse charm continue the ocean theme and color scheme.
All of these items hang on a thick chain and fasten with a wide, sturdy clip that attaches securely to a purse or backpack. This charm measures 9 inches long and 3 inches at it's widest point.
I created this beautiful purse/backpack charm thinking it would make a great gift, a caring gift that speaks of love and protection to the recipient. It comes in a clear pillow box and would make a unique gift and great stocking stuffer.
