I combined a natural green jade gemstone point with a recycled 32 caliber silver bullet shell casing. I added a silver spiral to the bail and a silver Celtic knot. This comes with a 24 inch silver plated rope chain.

The term jade is applied to two different metamorphic rocks: Nephrite and Jadeite. Both were used from prehistoric periods for carving. Jade is said to have a host of different meanings, depending on the mind-set of the person wearing it. Many elements of the Chinese language are connected to Jade. The word "ritual", as it is written, is "to serve the gods with Jade".

Jade helps with serenity, inner peace and balance, and good fortune. It promotes the perfection of self and connection to Spirit. It strengthens mental faculties and clear reasoning. It is a protective stone, guarding against accidents and misfortune. It improves dream remembrance and assists dream solving. As with many stones that are green in color, it is said to attract money.

The Celtic knot is often called a mystic knot or endless knot. It represents something that has no beginning and no end. It symbolizes the timeless nature of spirit and the infinite cycle of rebirth. Celtic knots can be used as a ward against negative energy and offer protection from harm. Celtic knot items are often given as a gift of eternal love and friendship.

The spiral symbol can represent the path from external awareness to the inner soul. It may also symbolize rebirth and growth, and has long been associated with the Goddess, and the feminine cycle of life.

The spiral often represents the labyrinth, which we travel on our spiritual journey, passing the same points again and again, but seeing them from a different perspective. Reaching the inner chamber allows us to center our energies and find tranquility.

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.
