shackle jewelry by Seawear
Until you have trusted your life and boat to a simple shackle, you will not understand the significance a person of the sea places on this simple device. If a person gives a piece of shackle jewelry, it is more than token of security, it is a trust and a bond that runs deep.
If you are looking for a reason to give a pair to yourself, legend has it that the reason so many seafaring men wore an earring was 'wearing a plain gold earring will protect you from drowning and evil spirits.'
In some circles, you weren't allowed to wear an earring until rounding Cape Horn... me on the other hand am never sure if it is shackle or shackel!
There are more on the bracelet page as well.

The platinum series
Some folks have simple taste. They only want the best. For you, we offer our platinum series done in .950 pure platinum and .050 ruthenium. The best. Under Federal Law, these are the only quality that can be stamped PLAT or PT as it is the purest form of alloyed platinum. All others are stamped with 400 to 900 PLAT, depending on the purity. These are done for us by Hoover and Strong.
These are the same size as the gold versions above. The medium and large are a much heavier weight than the small. These are for earrings or piercing of the highest quality. The weights for a single shackle are approximately
