Silver Henry Avery Skull Pendant

Silver Henry Avery Skull Pendant

If you were a pirate, wouldn’t you want to go in, make a quick killing and then marry a princess?

Less well-known than pirates like Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Anne Bonny or Calico Jack Rackham, Avery (also spelled Every) earned more loot than all of them put together.

Henry “Long Ben” Avery was an English pirate who made one big score – the Grand Moghul of India’s treasure ship “Ganj-i-Sawai” – before retiring. Contemporaries believed that Avery made his way to Madagascar with his loot where he set himself up as a King, with his own fleet and thousands of men.

The survivors of the battle were subjected to several days of torture and rape by the victorious pirates. There were many women on board, including a member of the court of the Grand Moghul himself. Romantic tales of the day say that the beautiful daughter of the Moghul was on board and fell in love with Avery and ran off to live with him on some remote island – Madagascar, perhaps – but the reality was far more brutal.

The haul from the Ganj-i-Sawai was incredible: hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of goods, gold, silver and jewels. It was quite possibly the richest haul in the history of piracy.

The Silver Henry Avery Skull Pendant is a piece of history.

Wear it when you want a piece of Henry luck.
Wear it to impress someone worthy of your charm.

Wear it with jeans or a tux and steal the heart of everyone you encounter.

Like all my pieces, the Henry Avery is made from recycled .925 sterling silver.

This pendant comes on a leather thong.
