Bullet Jewelry

45 Caliber Once-Fired Bullet Cartridge 
Bracelet and Stretch Ring Set

The cuff bracelet is adjustable to 9" and is silver plated pewter with rhinestones around the decorative bezel.  Black polymer clay houses the nickel bullet head.  The stretch ring bezel is just slightly smaller than the bracelet bezel. The band features plastic comfort beads on stretch cord for a non-pinch adjustable ring.



A unique item to dress up your jeans outfit on a Saturday night and show your support of the 2nd Amendment at the same time! Definitely a conversation piece!

The actual, once-fired cartridges are cut by hand and the rim/head of the cartridge are used in the jewelry.

Silver Bullet Ring


BULLET CARTRIDGE RING
Once-Fired Brass 9mm Bullet Cartridge

  
This silver plated adjustable ring features a 9mm bullet cartridge head.
Blue and silver polymer clay frames the cartridge head inside the 12mm (diameter) ring bezel.


This ring will adjust to fit size 6 to 8.

I am currently shopping for some other ring options -- adjustable as well as sized.


Other jewelry options are in the works as well...
bracelets, pendants, earrings, pins/brooches, etc.  
STAY TUNED!

Bracelets With A Little Bling

Bracelets:
Silver Plated Pewter adjustable to 9" wrist bracelets



The center medallions are made of multiple clay color mixes and are shaped to the bracelet blank.  The clay is cured right inside the bracelet, but is reinforced with glue if necessary after curing.   A little bake 'n bond or liquid clay is used prior to curing as well.

The clay is sanded & buffed to a polished stone shine or could be varnished as well.

These are great little pieces of fashion jewelry.
An initial or more crystals could be added to the clay for more personalization.
They pair nicely with the stretch rings that will fit most any adult finger size.
You can see the size of the medallion as it compares to a quarter.

NEW ITEMS - GLASSES, PURSE, & KEYS

NEW ITEMS!!
Eyeglass Holders and Purse Key Hangers
These are pretty handy for those who take their glasses on and off frequently throughout the day.  They come in chrome, gun metal, and gold (not shown). They are magnetic (strong earth magnet) so they won't damage clothing and can go anywhere on your clothing you would like. 


They can be paired up with the purse key hanger in the same finish to make a nice gift set...



The purse key hanger hangs over your purse like so...


The centers have been embellished with textured clay. 

These items can be placed in the oven with the clay to cure or the clay can be formed, cured, and then attached to the metal with some jewelry glue.  Personally, I place the entire piece in the oven to cure the clay.  Then, once cured and cooled, I do my darndest to get the clay to come away from the metal (what you wouldn't want to happen during use!)  If I can't get it to come off...it's likely not coming off.  If it comes off with some aggressive prompting...I add some jewelry glue (made to work on metal) and put the clay medallion back in place.  It's now sure to stay put!  It is easier to add texture if you cure the clay while it's attached to the item.


These items are available on my Etsy site...

Fragrance Atomizer

A GREAT ITEM!
 


Key Chain Perfume atomizer.  This 24K gold plated key chain was hand crafted with purple mica clay (a little shimmer) and a textured pattern.  The vial is removable so your favorite fragrance can be added with the plunger (included).  The vial is made of glass so it can be cleaned with alcohol if you want to change fragrances.  The cap screws onto the top of the atomizer and a rubber o-ring seal is included at both ends of the atomizer to guard against leakage.
The sturdy split ring can be removed from the cap and used as a purse or pocket accessory rather than a key ring.
