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 help keep someone safe. There is ablack emergency whistle. If someone is in a dire situation where they need help, a whistle helps other people locate them or may scare off an attacker. There is a small working compass attached to the chain, a well-known tool to find your way to safety. 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 in a silver case and unobtrusively fits in with the color scheme and opens up to a small sharp blade and closes for safety. Additionally, to any onlooker, this lovely purse/backpack charm doesn't seem more than a beautiful decorative accessory with its white mother-of-pearl carved bird beads, black blossoms, and mysterious black raven cameo.
