Jack Sparrow's bone trinket

"Is that your tooth?" "Aye. I broke it, swallowed it, passed it, sifted it, retrieved it, polished it&mdash;fashion."

- Edward Teague and Jack Sparrow

This unique trinket belonged to Jack Sparrow. After Jack's piece of eight was destroyed, Jack made a new trinket, known to be made of finger bones. One with a Chinese luck coin tied to some copper wire, the other with a barrel bead around it, a red bead, and his tooth.

Finding a new trinket
After the meeting of the Fourth Brethren Court, Jack Sparrow's piece of eight was burned to a crisp during the incantation to release Calypso. Later, during his search for the Fountain of Youth, Jack would use items from his later adventures to replace it. Jack would at some point finish his latest trinket, and it would be seen draping on Jack's forehead as his piece of eight did.

The trinket would be made out of finger bones with a Chinese luck coin tied to some copper wire around one, and a barrel bead around the other, a red bead, and one of Jack's gold teeth. How his tooth ended up on it, as Jack told his father Edward Teague, he broke and swallowed it and later retreived it and polished it into his new trinket. Jack would also have tied the trinket to where it wouldn't be cut off like his piece of eight did.

Though he wore his hat over it, Jack would wear the trinket in his further adventures. It was most notably seen during the quest for the Fountain of Youth, where Jack's trinket would be most exposed, as he lost his hat in this adventure.
