Welcome connoisseurs of things piratical. I would like to give you a brief history of MY SWAG and the idea behind the jewelry offered on the site. The genesis of the company began in January 2005, when I began my work creating the make-up effects for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean sequels. While talking with some of my fellow artists in the Lab, I decided it would be appropriate to search out a jolly Roger themed ring to ride out the duration of the show with me. Though the web is filled with a multitude of jewelry with this theme, nothing struck me as the piece of jewelry I wanted to memorialize the show with. To this end I decided to create my own designs, incorporating traditional pirate themes as well as an attention to skeletal anatomy. The resulting pieces of art are offered up to you with great enthusiasm, in the hope you will enjoy wearing them as much as I have enjoyed creating them.

After we officially wrapped production on Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man’s Chest, I was approached by Disney to license my line of jewelry through Disney Couture. Since this venture, my rings have appeared in People Magazine and Star Magazine, as well as making their way into Fred Segal, Kitson, Disneyland, Disneyworld, just to name a few. I am currently creating more pieces to comprise another line…so if you are inclined; please keep checking, and thank you.

Happy Shopping,
Joel Harlow
