I combined a natural leopard skin jasper stone point with a recycled 380 caliber silver bullet shell casing. I wrapped the casing with silver plated copper wire to form the bail, and added a 24 inch silver filled chain.

Jasper is known to have been a favorite gem in the ancient world; its name can be traced back in Hebrew, Assyrian, Persian, Greek and Latin. The name means "spotted or speckled stone".

Jasper awakens the mind and heart to new ideas and allows one to be flexible with others. All the jaspers have some properties of enhancing emotional balance, nurturing, and protection. It is a stone of gentleness and relaxation. It helps promote openness to new ideas. Jasper is a powerful screen against unsettling ideas or people and it eases stress, making it a wonderful stone to have near you.

Jasper is a very good shielding stone and is recommended in situations where protection or extra luck is needed. All colors of Jasper help balance the vibrations in your body. Legend says that Jasper drives away evil spirits. Jasper is known as the supreme nurturer stone.

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.
