The wheel hangs from the end of the chain and features an open ring in the centre, while each spoke extends beyond the rim into a handle.

The shipwheel as a symbol of the captain
On older ships, the shipwheel is the steering wheel used to set the course, and whoever is at the helm is in command of the ship. The spokes with handles allow the wheel to be gripped firmly and turned. As a result, the shipwheel has become a recognisable symbol of captains, helmsmen and seafaring in general. Around your neck, it shows at a glance who is in command at the party.
How to create a recognisable captain with the shipwheel necklace
A captain is primarily recognised by a white peaked cap, and underneath that, a dark jacket with buttons does most of the work. Let the gold-coloured chain fall over that jacket so that the shipwheel hangs in the centre of your chest. A grey beard or a pipe will turn your captain into an old sea dog. If you prefer to dress as a sailor, combine the necklace with a blue-and-white striped shirt.
