A recycled 45 caliber silver bullet shell casing combined with a banded agate in shades of orange, amber, rust, cream, brown, and black. I added a lodolite quartz crystal bead and a 24 inch gunmetal chain.

Agate is a type of quartz that belongs to the chalcedony family and comes in many different colors. Agate is a power stone good for grounding and stability. It is also a stone of dreams and intuition and can help you to find your natural talents.

Agate is good for balancing body, mind and spirit. It has a cleansing and stabilizing effect, so it eliminates and transforms negativity. It can enhance concentration, perception and analytical abilities. It is both soothing and calming, and helps to alleviate tension, which creates a sense of security and safety. People who are drawn to agates are often sensitive, caring and honest.

Lodolite is a variety of quartz with inclusions of chlorite, iron and calcite, which often look like gardens, landscapes or underwater scenes. It is also called landscape or scenic quartz.

Lodolite is believed to aid spiritual growth, clarity, communication and integration. The stone is also said to increase ESP and knowledge of past lives. It brings gentle strength and energy to enhance healing, both physical and emotional.

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.
