A Token of Wisdom. Prosperity. Enduring Strength.

Some treasures were valued not for their rarity, but for the fortunes they were believed to carry.

For centuries, jade crossed the world's oceans aboard merchant vessels bound for distant ports. Coveted throughout Asia and prized by traders across the globe, nephrite jade became a symbol of prosperity, wisdom, and steadfast endurance. Sailors often regarded jade as a stone that encouraged sound judgment, protected against hardship, and reminded its bearer that patience and perseverance could weather even the fiercest storm.

The Jade Bauble honors that enduring legacy.

Hand forged from solid .925 Sterling Silver, each bauble features an authentic 8mm Nephrite Jade bead, selected for its rich natural color and timeless beauty. Designed to pair seamlessly with larger pendants like the Two Bits Pendant, the Jade Bauble adds a subtle touch of color and history, drawing the eye while complementing the centerpiece of your necklace.

Every bead is naturally unique. Variations in color, translucency, and pattern are hallmarks of genuine nephrite jade, ensuring each artifact possesses a character all its own.

Whether worn as a symbol of wisdom, resilience, or the quiet confidence earned through life's trials, this is a token forged to accompany every voyage.

The Lore

During the great age of maritime trade, jade was among the most prized commodities carried between East and West. Sailors and merchants viewed it as a symbol of prosperity, wise decision-making, and lasting strength. Many believed it offered protection during long voyages and served as a reminder that true wealth was measured not only by treasure, but by the experience and character earned along the journey.

A Note from the Forge

Every Token of Valor artifact is forged by hand, one at a time.

Every artifact carries its own story, shaped by the hands that forged it and inspired by the enduring legacy of those who sailed before us.

A Token of Safe Passage. Protection. Open Horizons.

Few stones have traveled farther than turquoise.

For centuries, sailors, explorers, and merchants carried turquoise as a talisman against the dangers of the sea. Its brilliant blue color mirrored the calm waters and clear skies every mariner hoped to find beyond the horizon. Across many seafaring traditions, turquoise was believed to offer protection from misfortune, guide travelers safely home, and bring courage to those willing to venture into the unknown.

The Turquoise Bauble carries that timeless tradition forward.

Hand forged from solid .925 Sterling Silver, each bauble features a piece of authentic Arizona Blue Turquoise, chosen for its vibrant color and natural character. Designed to pair seamlessly with larger pendants like the Two Bits Pendant, the Turquoise Bauble introduces a striking splash of color while drawing the eye without overshadowing the centerpiece.

Every stone is unique. Variations in color, matrix, and texture are the unmistakable signature of genuine turquoise, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Whether worn as a symbol of protection, courage, or a reminder that every voyage begins with the first step beyond the harbor, this is a token meant to accompany every adventure.

The Lore

Among sailors of the Age of Sail, turquoise was widely regarded as a stone of protection and favorable fortune. Many believed it calmed rough waters, guarded against accidents, and helped guide travelers safely across long and uncertain voyages. Its vivid blue reminded mariners of clear skies after a storm and the promise that every journey, no matter how perilous, could end with a safe return home.

A Note from the Forge

Every Token of Valor artifact is forged by hand, one at a time.

Like the sea itself, every piece tells a story that can never be repeated.

A Token of Trade. Discovery. Distant Shores.

In the New World, brightly colored Venetian glass beads traveled aboard merchant vessels to the farthest corners of the globe. Crafted by master glassmakers in Venice and carried across the Atlantic by explorers, traders, and privateers, these beads became symbols of commerce, diplomacy, and adventure. To sailors, they represented the promise of distant ports, profitable voyages, and the countless stories exchanged wherever ships made harbor.

The Venetian Glass Bead Bauble pays tribute to that remarkable history.

Hand forged from solid .925 Sterling Silver, each bauble features an authentic Venetian glass trade bead dating to the early 1800s. These historic beads are crafted from deep red glass adorned with distinctive white spots—a classic style once exchanged across oceans and continents. Designed to pair seamlessly with larger pendants like the Two Bits Pendant, the Venetian Glass Bead Bauble adds a vibrant point of contrast and visual interest while complementing the centerpiece rather than competing with it.

Every bead has survived more than two centuries of history. Minor imperfections, subtle variations in shape, and signs of age are part of their story, making each piece truly one of a kind.

Whether worn as a reminder of bold expeditions, honest trade, or the enduring legacy of those who crossed the world's oceans, this artifact carries a tangible piece of maritime history.

The Lore

During the Age of Sail, Venetian glass trade beads were among the most recognizable commodities aboard merchant ships. Produced in the renowned glasshouses of Venice, they were exchanged around the world for goods, provisions, and valuable resources. Sailors often regarded these colorful beads as symbols of prosperous voyages and successful trade, while collectors prized them as exotic treasures gathered from distant shores. Their journey across the seas made them enduring emblems of exploration, commerce, and cultural exchange.

A Token of Mystery. Fortune. The Unknown.

Not every treasure was measured in gold & silver.

Among sailors, merchants, and privateers, black pearls were whispered about with equal parts reverence and caution. Rare beyond measure and unlike any other gem drawn from the sea, they were believed to carry the ocean's deepest mysteries. Some considered them a blessing—an omen of safe passage, prosperity, and favor from the sea itself. Others warned they belonged to the depths, carrying the unpredictable nature of the ocean wherever they traveled.

The Black Pearl Bauble honors those legends.

Hand-forged from solid .925 Sterling Silver, each bauble features an ethically sourced authentic black pearl from Maui, Hawaii, creating a striking contrast against the rugged, weathered silver. Designed to pair seamlessly with larger pendants like the Two Bits Pendant, the Black Pearl Bauble adds depth, movement, and a subtle point of focus to any necklace without stealing the story from the centerpiece.

No two pearls are ever identical. Like the sea that created them, each carries its own unique color, luster, and character.

Whether worn as a symbol of fortune, resilience, or simply as a reminder that the greatest treasures are often hidden beneath the surface, this is a piece meant to accompany every voyage.

The Lore

During the Golden Age of Sail, black pearls were among the rarest treasures a mariner could hope to possess. Sailors believed they represented the unknowable nature of the sea itself—capable of bringing incredible fortune to those who earned its favor, yet never to be taken for granted. Their dark, iridescent surface reminded many that beauty and danger often sailed together.

"The sea remembers not rank, but resolve."

Forged in the spirit of rogues, privateers, and the hard-lived men who carved their names into the tides, the Two Bits Pendant is a symbol of mortality, grit, and freedom earned the hard way.

Each pendant is hand-forged from solid sterling silver and individually hammered to create a raw, weathered texture reminiscent of worn coinage and battered relics pulled from the depths of a forgotten wreck. Stamped with the iconic skull and crossbones, no two pieces are ever exactly alike—every mark, strike, and imperfection carries the character of the forge and the story of the maker’s hand.

Measuring roughly 1 inch long by 1/2 inch wide, the Two Bits Pendant is substantial enough to stand on its own while remaining versatile for everyday wear. Built to age with character, this piece was designed for those who carry the weight of legacy, sacrifice, and adventure close to the chest.

Forged for those who still hear the call of the open sea.

The Privateer’s Ring is a one-of-a-kind heirloom born from fire, silver, gold, and history itself. Each piece is individually hand forged in my small workshop in the Inland Northwest using traditional methods and period-inspired tools to create the weathered textures, worn edges, and salt-aged character that define every ring.

At the heart of each piece rests an authentic Spanish Silver Half Real — a coin once exchanged in ports, taverns, and trade routes that helped shape the early world of exploration, commerce, and conquest. I design every ring around the unique footprint and wear pattern of the coin it carries, allowing the history of the silver to dictate the final form of the piece.

No two are ever alike.

I often think of the coin as the soul of the ring.

Crafted from solid 14ct gold and .925 sterling silver, these rings are made in extremely limited quantities. Only six Privateer’s Rings are forged each month, making every release scarce and highly sought after by collectors, adventurers, and those drawn to old-world craftsmanship.

This is not mass production.
This is slow work. Intentional work.
Every hammer strike, texture, and finish is done by hand.

The result is a ring that feels less like jewelry and more like a recovered artifact from another age — something carried across storms, hidden in a captain’s chest, or handed down from one generation to the next.

Whether worn as a daily companion or kept as a treasured piece in a collection, the Privateer’s Ring was created for those who value history, craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of adventure.

Details

• Hand forged individually in the Inland Northwest

• Solid 14ct gold & .925 sterling silver construction

• Features an authentic Spanish Silver 1/2 Real coin

• Every ring is uniquely shaped around the natural footprint of its coin

• Finished using traditional and period-inspired tooling methods

A reminder forged in silver.
A warning carried on the wrist.
A symbol of mortality, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of those who refuse to live timidly.

The Ironclad Cuff was inspired by the brutal honesty of the old world — an era when sailors, soldiers, explorers, and craftsmen understood that life was fleeting and that meaning was earned through hardship, courage, and perseverance.

Hand forged individually from solid .925 sterling silver, each cuff is shaped, textured, and finished by hand in my small workshop in the Inland Northwest using traditional metalsmithing techniques and period-inspired tooling methods. The surface of every bracelet is hand-hammered with an authentic ball-peen hammer dating back to the early 1900s, creating a raw, weathered texture that is impossible to replicate by machine.

No two cuffs are ever alike.

Each strike leaves behind its own scars, marks, and character — transforming every finished piece into something deeply individual and alive with craftsmanship.

Measuring approximately 1/2 inch wide and 1/8 inch thick, the Ironclad Cuff carries a substantial presence on the wrist while remaining timeless enough for daily wear. The weight, texture, and forged finish are meant to evoke the feeling of a recovered relic — something carried through storms, battles, and decades of hard living.

Stamped discreetly along the interior of each cuff are the Skull & Crossbones alongside the Latin phrase:

Memento Mori
“Remember Death.”

For centuries, the phrase served as a reminder not to fear death — but to live deliberately in the face of it. The Ironclad Cuff carries that philosophy forward as both a personal reminder and a symbol of resilience, purpose, and perspective.

This is not polished luxury.
It is honest craftsmanship.
Heavy silver shaped by fire, hammer, and human hands.

Built to age.
Built to scar.
Built to carry a story.

The Galleon’s Anchor Chain draws its inspiration from the heavy iron anchor chains that once secured great ships against unforgiving seas and uncertain shores. Built with the spirit of old maritime craftsmanship in mind, this hand-forged sterling silver chain carries the rugged strength and timeless character of an age when survival depended on the integrity of every link.

Each chain is individually crafted by hand in my small workshop in the Inland Northwest using traditional metalsmithing techniques and period-inspired tooling methods that create its distinctive weathered texture and old-world finish.

Whether worn alone or paired with a pendant, the Galleon’s Anchor Chain was created to feel less like jewelry and more like a piece of equipment carried through a lifetime.

Something enduring.
