Piracy has its good side (Johnny Depp movies) and its bad (bootleg copies of Johnny Depp movies).
Either way, it’s a hot topic.
Want in on the fun? It’s too steamy for those bodices Keira wears, but Artemisia jewelry will definitely help you get in the booty-hoarding spirit.
Designer Marisa Lombardo collects charming items from all over the world — turn-of-the-century perfume vials, antique watches, military medals — and embellishes them (with, say, an offset charm or a hanging bell) to create pieces that look borrowed from the set of a swashbuckling blockbuster.
And because they’re made of authentic relics, the treasures are a good investment for your hard-earned doubloons.
As for how fellow pirates will react to your new loot?
It’s sure to shiver their timbers.
