The passengers of the Eleanora had been wearing enough jewellery to satisfy even the magpie crew of the Black Pearl. They'd had brooches, necklaces, hairpins, a rather fine pocket-watch, and rings a-plenty: gold and silver both, with diamonds, emeralds, amethysts, rubies, and sapphires.
Jack selected his favourites and solemnly slotted a gold ring onto each finger of his left hand in turn: thumb, forefinger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky.
"That's for your wedding ring, that is, cap'n, the third finger of your left hand," Gibbs pointed out. "Who are you going to marry?"
Jack pursed his lips, considered, then removed that ring and bound it to the wheel of the Pearl.
