This intricately crafted Sterling silver pendant is inspired by the pirate Queen of Connacht, Grace O’Malley.

A polished Sterling silver frame encircles the side profile of this legendary woman, gazing out to sea to one of her ships waiting on golden waves. The glistening gold-plated sail draws the eye and captures the adventurous spirit that Grace embodied in her time.

The Legend of the Pirate Queen

Grace was a strong and independent woman in the predominantly male world of the 16th century. She was a talented seafarer and certainly a pirate. But she was also a savvy political tactician, a shrewd businesswoman, a fearless leader, a brave fighter, and a loving mother, wife, and daughter. There is a compliment in Ireland that sums her up perfectly - “She's some woman for one woman.”

Needless to say, her legend survived, and she is celebrated as an icon of female strength the world over. This is the perfect pendant for a fierce and independent person or those with an adventurous and unconquerable spirit.
