Earrings skull and bones

For women and men who want to complete their pirate outfit, the skull and crossbones earrings are a set of metal drop earrings featuring a skull above crossed bones. The bronze-coloured pendants stand out with their filigree work, crown, beads and small teardrop charm at the bottom. Wear them to a pirate party, costume party or Halloween event.

What are the skull and crossbones earrings made of?

• They are made of 95% zinc and 5% steel, so you get genuine metal jewellery rather than a plastic imitation.
• The pendants have a dark, antiqued bronze finish, making the skull and bones stand out sharply against the relief.
• Each earring fastens with a thin, curved ear hook that slides through your ear piercing.
• The design is elongated and teardrop-shaped, with a crown at the top and a small additional charm at the bottom.
• The set is designed for adults, both women and men.

The skull and crossbones as a pirate symbol

The skull and crossbones is the most famous pirate symbol and was used on sailing ships to strike fear before a shot was even fired. In costume clothing, the symbol has endured as the quickest way to make an outfit instantly recognisable as a pirate look. A pirate outfit also calls for a touch of excess in jewellery: antiqued gold and bronze look older and more seaworthy than shiny silver. The same motif also fits a gothic or Halloween look, where a skull is just as appropriate.

Wearing skull and crossbones earrings on a party night

Wear them with a pirate shirt, a corset with lace trim or a tricorn pirate hat, as shown in the photos. For men, they work well as a single earring worn under a headscarf or long-haired wig, a classic pirate look. Pair them with dark lipstick and smoky eye makeup, and the bronze colour will complement an outfit in black, burgundy or antique gold. Fasten the hooks carefully before a long party night and check occasionally that they are hanging properly.

This is how you complete your pirate look with a small, eye-catching detail. Order before 11:59 p.m. to receive the earrings tomorrow, and enjoy a 14-day return period.
