Schmuckatelli Co. Aquilo Sugar Skull Bead-Antique Rhodium SCAAR

The Schmuckatelli Co. Aquilo Sugar Skull Bead in Antique Rhodium is a distinctive addition to any everyday carry setup, blending rugged style with practical utility. Crafted from lead-free pewter and finished in a weathered antique rhodium plating, this bead delivers both durability and a refined, aged metallic appearance. The finish gives the piece a dark silver-gray tone, subdued but striking, that pairs well with tactical gear or more classic accessories alike.

Measuring approximately 19/32 inches long by 1/2 inch wide and 15/32 inch tall, the Aquilo bead has a commanding presence without being bulky. The 3/16-inch hole is ideal for most paracord sizes, making it a perfect fit for lanyards, keychains, knife pulls, zipper tabs, and other gear enhancements. Whether you're customizing a favorite blade or adding a bit of weight and grip to a tool, this bead fits in seamlessly with your gear.

The design is based on the traditional sugar skull, an iconic symbol that merges artistry with bold character. Its detailed contours and expressive form set it apart from generic EDC beads. With its antique rhodium finish, the Aquilo takes on a vintage look that feels both refined and battle-worn—a rare balance that appeals to collectors and users alike. Over time, the finish will continue to develop subtle wear patterns unique to your carry, enhancing its patina and personality.

Built for function as well as form, this bead offers a solid, reassuring weight that contributes to both handling and durability. Unlike lightweight plastic or hollow metal beads, the pewter construction provides a substantial feel without being overly heavy. Whether you’re in the field or just commuting through your day, this bead adds a reliable, stylish accent that won’t go unnoticed.

EDC gear should reflect your style and stand up to real-world use. The Aquilo Sugar Skull Bead in Antique Rhodium delivers on both fronts. It’s not just an accessory—it’s a small piece of craftsmanship that adds texture, character, and capability to whatever it’s attached to. Shop SMKW to personalize your every day carry!
