Crystal inserts are multi-colored unless I receive specific instructions to use certain color(s). The bracelet has a maximum length of 8". The first picture shows the bracelet fitted with all turquoise Swarovski crystals. Bracelet is also available in solid brass here:

Each of the bullet shell casings are cleaned of all gunpowder and tumbled for hours to restore shine then coated with Renaissance Wax to protect the finish.
Please allow 7 days to manufacture your bracelet.
Please let me know if there is a particular crystal color (or combination of colors) you would like! This bracelet is great for family birthstones!
Perfect gift for the shooting/hunting enthusiast or spouse, policewoman, armed forces and anyone with a penchant for the unusual or likes to make a statement with their jewelry!
Bullet casing rosettes are approximately 1" x 1/2".
The bullet casings on this bracelet are protected with a coating of Renaissance wax. To maintain the shine, please keep your bracelet in an airtight container (or ziplock baggie). The wax will eventually wear off but you can restore the shine with a small amount of brass cleaner and then maintain with a thin coat of car wax. Some bullet casing jewelry is protected with a lacquer coating but I have never seen this be successful over a period of time and it always seems to flake off leaving an uneven finish. As with all metal jewelry, do not wear when in the shower or swimming.
If you like the warm brown tones of aged brass, do nothing - it all depends on what finish you like best!

All of the bullet casings I use have been collected from a professional firing range. I've been told that my etched bullet necklaces and keychains are airport friendly - no way are these ever going to be live ammunition again!
Bullet casing rosette and sterling silver bracelet ships in a cotton lined box suitable for gift-giving.
