The brilliant pirate bead "Captain" by Starlingear
A treacherous sea wolf — he boarded caravels and frigates, hacked enemies with his cutlass, hoarded golden ducats in a cave — and then wound up at the bottom of the sea. After giving the fish a proper feast, the "Captain" has returned to us as a lanyard bead from Starlingear Corporation. The American brand is famous for its playful skulls, each one a character with a personality. All of the company's accessories are handmade at their workshop, located just next door to Hollywood.
The "Captain's" likeness is meticulously detailed: the curls of his beard, the gleaming jaw, the flared nostrils — everything is executed with jeweler's precision. The pirate's head is cast from a honey-toned copper alloy. The skull is polished to a mirror shine and partially covered with patina. This combination of finishes accentuates every feature of the rogue — especially the sly, squinting empty eye sockets.
The luxurious beard partially conceals the S-Gear imprint — the brand's signature emblem, featuring a gear with a Latin "S" at its center. The same mark adorns the sailor's tricorn hat. The captain's hat is "stitched" from stainless metal, which possesses natural disinfecting properties. Its surface is decorated with an "orange peel" texture and finished with patina. Against the dark background of the tricorn gleams a three-dimensional five-pointed star, crafted from a golden-red metal.
The bead comes with a certificate of authenticity from Starlingear. The Captain is a sociable fellow — he'll gladly keep company with your favorite knife. Once you've rigged the "Captain" onto your lanyard, don't forget about your own neck. The Starlingear Captain pendant on a brutal chain will look equally sharp over a T-shirt or through the open collar of your shirt.
