Will Turner's amulet was a piece of jewelry worn by William Turner after the battle of Isla de Muerta. Twelve years after he killed Davy Jones and became the new captain of the Flying Dutchman Will gave the amulet to his son Henry.

History

During the battle of Isla de Muerta, in order to defeat the cursed crew of Captain Hector Barbossa William Turner Jr. had to use the medallion sent to him by his father many years earlier to lift the curse of the Treasure of Cortés. Once the pirates were defeated and captured, Will was forced to leave the medallion in the chest of Cortés along with the rest of the Aztec gold. To replace the necklace which he wore through his childhood, Will found an amulet which he kept on a string around his neck.

Will wore this trinket during the search for the Dead Man's Chest and the subsequent War Against Piracy. After he was killed and resurrected aboard the Flying Dutchman Will became the new captain of the infamous ghost ship, cursed to step on land only once every ten years. Approximately twelve years after the battle of Calypso's maelstrom, the Dutchman rose out of the sea with Will's young son Henry onboard, who was trying to save his father from his dark fate. However, Will forbade his son to keep trying to free him from the Dutchman, giving him the amulet as a parting gift.

Henry wore the amulet for the next nine years, until his quest for the Trident of Poseidon ended in destruction of the Trident and the end of all curses of the sea. Free from the Dutchman, Will returned to his family, and Henry gave him back the amulet. From that moment Will started wearing the amulet again. The amulet's further fate is unknown.

Behind the scenes

Orlando Bloom wearing the necklace.

• The amulet apparently originated as a necklace owned by Orlando Bloom, as he has been seen wearing it at least as far back as the premiere for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. It became part of Will Turner's costume design, beginning in the back-to-back sequels Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.
• The amulet's journey in Dead Men Tell No Tales is similar to that of Bootstrap Bill's knife in Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. Both were given by a father to his son, ordering the son to forget about him, with the son ignoring the order and eventually returning the item to the father.
