I added holographic glitter in liquid to a glass cylinder and capped it with a recycled 32 caliber silver bullet casing. The iridescent glitter includes moons, stars, and hexagons. This comes with a 24 inch silver chain. Shake it and watch the glitter fall gently inside the vial. The moon and star symbols have been used together for thousands of years by many different cultures. What better way for ancient people to bring their gods down from the heavens and hold them close to worship and cherish. These bright celestial bodies that stood in the sky night after night represented both consistency and the passage of time as their positions changed throughout the days and seasons of the year. The star is a symbol of balance in the way that each element balances with the other. The upward point of the star represents Spirit. The other four points each represent an element; earth, air, fire, and water. The ancient Greeks believed that all of these reside in everything. The moon is associated with clairvoyance and intuition. Using the energy of the moon is something that comes naturally and easily. To wear or display the symbol of the moon means that you go with what you feel and can make decisions based on the enlightenment it brings. The moon has different phases and those phases affect us in different ways. The full moon represents illumination, clarity, and openness. The crescent moon symbolizes new beginnings and dreams come true. The continuing cycles of the moon bring rebirth and renewal to us every month. An original Beautiful Bullets design.

Quartz Crystal Dragon's Claw Moonstone Silver Bullet Jewelry Pendant

I combined a natural quartz crystal point with a recycled 22 caliber silver bullet shell casing. I added a pewter dragons claw clutching a natural white moonstone crystal ball to the bail. This comes with a 24 inch silver rope chain.

In many cultures dragons represent the primal forces in nature. They are seen as mystical and celestial beings. In Eastern traditions dragons often symbolize wisdom, strength, and good luck. In Europe, dragons were often considered malevolent, but they were thought to possess some form of magic or supernatural power. The claw represents the dragon's uncanny ability to smell trouble and to root out liars and thieves. 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. Moonstone helps with emotional stress problems. It is believed to bring good fortune and to balance yin/yang. It absorbs negativity, promotes confidence and psychic opening. Moonstone is a very personal stone. It is a reflection of the person who wears it, and only shows the true self.

Natural Tangerine Quartz Crystal Wire Wrapped Bullet Pendant Necklace

A natural tangerine orange quartz crystal point combined with a recycled 9mm silver bullet shell casing. I wrapped the shell casing with Merlins gold wire and added a dark silver rope chain. This quartz has the typical ladder-like and geometric patterns common in Lemurian seed crystals.

Tangerine Quartz Points are found almost exclusively in Minas Gerais, Brazil. They have a natural orange color that comes from the combination of hematite and water in the cavity where they grew. Over time, the water combined with hematite to create rust that permanently bonded to the surface of the crystals. Tangerine quartz is useful in balancing past life experiences with calm understanding to help the healing process in the present. It can help you deal with the chaos of everyday life by providing you with a psychic shield to ward off harmful and negative energies. Merlin's gold is also known as NuGold or Jeweler's Bronze. It is a copper and zinc alloy that has the rich color of gold.

Natural Iolite Indigo Gemstone Crystal Bullet Pendant Necklace

I attached a silver and copper wire bail to a recycled 38 special silver bullet shell casing, and then added a natural indigo purple iolite crystal. This comes with a 24 inch silver filled chain.

The name iolite comes from the Greek word for violet. It is the gemstone version of cordierite. It is often called a water sapphire, and some examples change color depending on the angle and light source. Iolite gem deposits can be found in Canada, Tanzania, Australia, Madagascar, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, India, and Brazil. Iolite is good for putting a positive spin on negative situations. It can provide calm emotional responses and it reduces stress. It it often used to help with anxiety and depression. Iolite is a balancing stone and can help with disorientation and distraction. It strengthens resolve and can increase self assurance and endurance. It adds positive energy and brings order to chaos and adversity. Iolite is a good stone to use for communication with spirit as it aids in visualization and meditation techniques. Iolite is another stone that the Vikings may have used to determine the direction of the sun on overcast days. Cordierite crystals can be found on the beaches of Norway. It can be fairly easy to tell the direction of skylight polarization with an iolite crystal. It exhibits strong pleochroism, and the color of the stone will change from more blue to more gray or yellow when pointing towards the sun.

Freshwater Pearl Wire Wrapped Silver Bullet Pendant Necklace

I wrapped a 32 caliber silver bullet shell casing with square silver wire. I added a natural freshwater pearl for the bullet and a tiny glass pearl with the silver wire coil. This comes with an 18 inch silver rope chain. Pearl is one of the birthstones for June.

Pearls are often associated with the moon and the goddess as well. Because of their natural growth pattern, pearls can represent knowledge gained through layers of wisdom and understanding attained over a lifetime of learning.  Pearl can relieve stress and provide a calm and soothing atmosphere. It may help in letting go of past emotions and psychological scars. An original Beautiful Bullets design.
