The Ring of Thieves

"I have something for you. Proof, you are never far from my thoughts. The first item I ever stole...for someone else."
"I had to trade it. To learn the rules of the Fountain."

―Jack Sparrow and Angelica

(original screenplay)

The Ring of Thieves, sometimes known as the Stolen Ring, was a gold ring with a dark purple stone. What was, at first, a gift to Angelica, the ring would switch ownership to Tia Dalma, later to Jack Sparrow. The ring would eventually end up back in Angelica's possession.

History

At some point in his life, Jack Sparrow obtained this amethyst ring as a gift to Angelica. He gave it to her during their first romance together. In later years, after gaining interest for the Fountain of Youth, Angelica traded this ring with the mystic Tia Dalma for the secret rules of the Profane Ritual. Tia would keep the ring on her table where she keeps her locket and other personal belongings.

Jack Sparrow would later visit Tia's shack during his search for the Dead Man's Chest. While she was helping him, Jack spotted the ring and promptly stole it back, behind Tia Dalma's back. He would wear it throughout the War Against Piracy. During the quest for the Fountain of Youth, Jack would return the ring to Angelica during their second acquaintance. She would wear it through the rest of the quest, and her marooning on Sola Fide Beach.

It is unknown if Angelica would keep this ring forever or it will switch owners again.

Behind the Scenes

• This ring originally didn't have a true name. It was referred to as the "Stolen Ring" because of the product's name, as well as it being a ring stolen by Jack Sparrow. But when reading Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: The Visual Guide, fans speculated that the name of the ring was "Ring of Thieves", as the section that had information about the ring was called that.
• There was no scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides showing that Jack Sparrow gave Angelica the ring. However, through some clips of the film, including the ring switching fingers and Jack giving the ring to Angelica, does show that the scene was filmed.
