Bullet Jewelry

[herrwalther]

Okay fellows (and ladies). It is my wife's and I 10th year being married. She also really likes the headstamp jewelry she sees on Etsy and sites like that. I have it in my head to get her some jewelry made out of 10mm shells for our 10th year. But cannot find any. Anyone know anyone (or someone here) make jewelry out of 10mm? She is also a "gun person" so it combines a passion of hers and mine.

Maybe you could contact these people and inquire about 10mm jewelry.

Why not make something for her yourself? It may be more meaningful in ten, twenty or fifty more years. A case head pendant like in some of the links above wouldn't be too difficult to create. Bronze/brass is easy to solder to. You can buy an inexpensive rolling mill on amazon to make the loop and return it. Buy a nice necklace to hang it on and be done. Or simply come up with an idea and bring the materials to a jeweler to make something custom.

Pro-tip from someone married for many more than ten years: Buy a nice "back up" gift to compliment the other.

I pulled a 145gr 7.62 NATO bullet from a cartridge out of a case of 90s German DAG surplus ammo, drilled a hole near the base, and then coated the whole thing in epoxy. I strung it on a silver necklace and gave it to my girlfriend when we first started dating.

Just a cautionary note that not only does TSA take an interest in such jewelry, but possession of an empty cartridge case is verboten in some jurisdictions such as DC.

Ask them to make up what you want.

Yep ... had my 44 mag keychain confiscated by TSA (and I'm Pre check) at Reagan a few years ago. I'd flown all over the world with that keychain, various matches and vacations and on business ... not once did I have a problem UNTIL I flew into, and then out of, Reagan on my way home from Assateague for a Sika hunt. They acted like it was a nuclear bomb.

That was my lucky keychain too. Broke my heart.
