The Gorgeous George bracelet continues this legacy, handmade in Amsterdam of authentic ship rope it serves as a daily reminder to hold fast.

Pig & Hen

In the early 1600s, Dutch explorers set sail to undiscovered parts of the world, eventually boasting the largest naval fleet on Earth. With some serious sea legs, they discovered new lands and ways of life – all the while overcoming oceans of obstacles along the way. To protect themselves from bad luck, mariners inked tattoos of a pig and a hen on their feet because crates of pigs and hens were oftentimes the only items left floating after a shipwreck. The sailors believed a pig and hen tattoo would help them not only survive the strongest of storms but also allow them to float back safely to their beloved homeland
