Pig & Hen bracelets are designed and made in Amsterdam. Using marine rope and stainless steel to create jewellery that is rugged and durable, to be worn all the time, on land or at sea.
In the early 1600s, the Dutch naval fleet was the largest in the world and their sailors inked tattoos of a pig and a hen on their feet to protect them because crates of pigs and hens were often the only items left floating after a shipwreck.The sailors believed a pig and hen tattoo would help them survive the strongest of storms and return home safely.
Good name, great product and a rather good gift.
