Grateful Dead Sterling Silver “Wharf Rat” Steal Your Face Pendant
Product Description
Carry a piece of Deadhead history with this Sterling Silver Wharf Rat Pendant, featuring the iconic Steal Your Face skull and lightning bolt design encircled by an unforgettable line from the Grateful Dead classic “Wharf Rat”: “I’ll get a new start, live the life I should.”
About the Song
Written by Robert Hunter with music by Jerry Garcia, “Wharf Rat” debuted in 1971 and became a fixture of the band’s live shows for decades, eventually landing on the legendary 1972 live album Europe ’72. The song tells the story of August West, a down-and-out man reflecting on regret, redemption, and the hope of turning his life around. Its haunting melody and deeply human lyrics made it an instant favorite among Deadheads, and it remains one of the most beloved and frequently performed songs in the band’s catalog — often stretched out into extended jams that became highlights of countless shows.
The Pendant
Expertly crafted in genuine .925 sterling silver, this pendant combines bold, dimensional detailing with a darkened oxidized finish that makes the raised lettering and skull imagery pop. Two polished sterling silver bead accents flank the design, adding subtle texture and craftsmanship to this already striking piece.
