I painted the inside of a glass cylinder vial with aqua glow in the dark paint and added quartz crystals. I capped the vial with a recycled 380 caliber silver bullet shell casing, wrapped the casing with silver wire, and attached a Swarovski blue opal crystal to the top. This comes with a 24 inch silver plated chain.

Quartz has been collected, carved into talismans, carried about, and treasured by humankind for hundreds of thousands of years. Since the first ancient being spotted a shiny crystal object in the dirt and picked it up, we have prized it as a special stone of great value.

Quartz amplifies and directs energy and builds energy pathways. It can strengthen the energies of anything it is put with, and can be used to channel energy and send it out to other stones. The resonating quality is the reason that quartz was originally used in radios and other transmitters, and manufactured crystals are still used in electronic devices today.

An original Beautiful Bullets design. I have been creating bullet jewelry since 2009 and have designed over a hundred different styles and types. I use recycled bullet shell casings, metal filigrees, Swarovski crystals, natural gemstones and vintage glass. All of the bullet casings I use are recycled so please allow for variations and small imperfections.

I started my bullet jewelry line as a peace project, and I continue to donate part of the sale to different charities. I have sent donations to the Peace Corps, the Patriot Guard Riders, the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, the Sandy Hook School Support Fund, and the USO. Thanks to everyone who has purchased one of these designs and made that possible.
