Outer Banks Themed Jewelry

These are gruesomely appropriate considering the Outer Banks' history.  The Outer Banks are the Graveyard of the Atlantic where hundreds of ships crashed against hidden rocks and sank.  Sometimes deliberately lit bonfires lured ships into those rocks.  Ocracoke, near Hatteras, was Edward Teach's hide out.  Better known as Black Beard, he was a cruel, vicious pirate and close personal friend of various North Carolina governors.  These earrings are perfect for sitting around the bonfire on the beach, telling ghost stories...
