recycled bullet necklace with yellow banded onyx

This one-of-a-kind necklace features a recycled bullet casing, which was sourced from a private shooting area in the woods. This area is littered with bullet casings of all shapes and sizes and trash. I'm doing my part to clean up the Earth and make beautiful jewelry out of it! I hand-etched the bullet with an intricate flower mandala design and soldered brass filigree on the outside. Finished with Swarovski gemstones and a faceted yellow banded onyx point. Full pendant measures approximately 2 inches in length and is very lightweight. Finished with a 27-inch long brass chain.

Banded onyx is a variety of chalcedony, micro-crystalline quartz, which exhibits straight, parallel banding. Onyx is an excellent mineral for initiating modes of centering and aligning the total person with the higher power. It can be used to get rid of grief, enhance self control, stimulate wise decision making and encourage happiness and good fortune. It harmonizes the physical with the spiritual and helps alleviate fears and worries and eliminates confusion and nightmares. It's used to provide glimpses of that which lies beyond and activates one's memory of one's roots and reality. It aids in one to become the master of their future.
