A recycled 32caliber silver bullet shell casing holds a natural water clear Arkansas quartz crystal point. I added a silver plated star and moon charm and a tiny blue aventurine bead. This comes with a 24 inch silver filled chain. The quartz crystal has natural inclusions.

The scientific community began studying quartz crystals as far back as the 17th century. When pressure is applied to a crystal, energy is released in the form of heat, light and electrical voltage. This is called piezoelectricity, and it was discovered by Jacques and Pierre Curie in 1880. This research suggests that there may be more to crystals than meets the eye.

Blue aventurine is a calming stone that encourages steadiness and tranquility. It can help with making clear decisions and supports the ability to make changes when needed. It helps connect mind and heart to increase intuition and psychic understanding. It is a stone of peace, but also a stone of empowerment when fighting for a true cause.

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.
