I have been collecting precious stones since I was about 10 years old. I have a sizable collection, and although I have never been a fan of brilliant cut stones (or diamonds, for that matter – I’ll never buy a cut diamond), I found a few in my collection that matched up pretty well with some jacketed hollow point bullets I recently fired out of various guns underwater.
Clockwise from top left, blue topaz in .45 HST 230gr, African sapphire in 9mm HST 147gr, tsavorite in .40 HST 165gr, peridot in 9mm HST 147gr, pink sapphire in .38 Special 110gr DPX.
Can i come by later so we can hold each other and listen to Coldplay?
Ha, maybe you two will see sparks
You had your chance.
Not fair, I’m too far away
I think that you’ve just invented shooter’s Bling!
The wife really liked those and asked if they were brooches. Something like that would definitely make for some nice jewelry for gun enthusiasts!
You should figure out a way to sell those as jewelery without the sharp edges.
And hopefully without the lead too.
Beautiful!
Beautiful! indeed. Is there any way I can buy one, even without the Gemstone they have a rare beauty
Did you know that the Daily Mail website here in the UK has linked and mentioned this article?
Interestingly when it was published, it referred to you as an Ex-Marine, however it has been changed so it no longer mentions it.
Yeah, they emailed me about it. Really nice people.
Absolutely stunning! And very creative. I found your link on MissK’s World blog and haven’t been able to stop reading. Just blew my entire Monday morning with you and a pot of coffee. You just got a new regular.
These need to be pendants. I’ve seen some being sold on etsy but none as gorgeous as these. I really want one. I really want the blue one. This is making me sad I don’t have guns to fire underwater.
Where can I buy these? I would wear a pair of these as earrings in a heartbeat. Please contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely Yours,
Anne
Anne,
Working on it! Thanks for your interest. I’ll keep your email if/when they come to market.
Andrew
Shoot me an email as well when you start selling these. They are amazing!
i put a pic on my FB page and one person said how neat they would be for horse bridle decor. might be big in the horse owner communities.
i would love to hear if and when you might have them for retail purchase.
Here is another vote for “when”! And, then, sooner rather than later! Please email with any additional information. Would be particularly interested, and very appreciative, if you would entertain a custom order offer in the next few weeks. Thanking you in advance!
I would love to buy some of this jewelry, please let me know if you do start selling it!!
thanks,
Pat
Hi Andrew, Lovely pieces, please let me know when you have the naked bullet flowers for sale. Thank you.
I’m with Ann. Add me to your email list when there is a possibility to purchace.
Thank You,
Jennifer
Forget the tag-line Guns Nâ Roses, hereâs a few others you could call your company. Boy Meets Girl, Jack And Jill, Life and Death, BITTERSWEET, Fragments And Fragrance. Iâve thought of so many cool names for you to name your own jewelry made with bullets, the name alone would sell your creations all by its self. BTW & FYI Iâm a Florist and quite creative. I also have an easy idea how to smooth out the rough edges without changing the contour of the flower. I have a great friend who owns a Harley Davidson dealership that would embrace your art. Also, I’m sure it would sell quite well in any Tattoo/Piercing shop.
Wow those are beautiful. I’d also like to know if you ever decide to sell them as jewelry.
I would also like to know if these ever make it to market.
Please also let me know when these are available for sale! I’d love to make a pendant out of one!
Very interested in making a deal with you for a few pieces. My husband buys gold and we have quite a few gems and stones we can send for your pieces. He removes the stones before having the gold melted down. We have various sizes, types, and colors. We have opals, cubic zirconias, tigers eye, turquois, perodite …. Please let me know if we can work something out.
Andrew, how unique! Can’t wait till they are available. Want to give one as a Brithday gift. Hopefully can get one by December.
These would make killer (pardon the pun) cufflinks – please keep me posted if you come up with something, very interested, these are very cool!
I would LOVE a pin , dangle earrings & a ring of those (somehow)
Please add my name to the list if you decide to sell! An idea would be to add a magnet to the back and these would look great on the fridge.
These are AMAZING!!! Love this. Let me know if you ever decide to offer them for sale! I think you just found another career opportunity 🙂
I’m with Anne and the rest, please let me know when you are selling them. I think they are really unique and beautiful. Thanks.
Please add me to the list of people interested in purchasing one, should they come available. Great Blog!
Where can we buy these? save my email I want one when you start selling them. They are amazing!
These are beautiful!! Please let me know when you are selling them.
The gemstone bullet jewelry is unique and beautiful. Have you thought about selling any? Thanks.
Follow-up – please please keep my e-mail for when you do decide to market them. Thanks!!!!!!
Do you sell these, I love them!!!
Andrew, I saw a story on you as well as a video of you shooting under water on the Huff Post. Great Video. I would love to know when you start selling these, would love to buy one for my wife. Email me when you start having them for sale.
I came here looking to see if you actually sold these. I was really interested in buying one. I even love the plain ones that don’t have the gemstones. These are gorgeous!
I must say you have stumbled upon a money making deal….I’m very interested in the jewelry too. Please contact me when it hits the market. Congrats and thank you!
I agree! I saw this article on my Flipboard and came to see if you sold these. I don’t care if they have the gems or not. I thought they would make gorgeous decor pieces and jewelry. Let me know if you start selling them!
Hi, Andrew-
Great blog–very even-handed. From your writing and videos, it also seems you have a strong sense of intuition, a quality rarely found in men.
You should go to the “Shark Tank” folks with your jewelry — perfect match!
Let me know when you are ready to sell. Please!
Put me on the list too. They are AMAZING!
Great blog too!
Are you selling these? I would definitely buy one…very beautiful…btw you are Hot!!
these are absolutely beautiful, I have a very large loose gem collection myself. you have a very novel idea here…..to bad guns scare me.
Send me an email when you start selling them thank you
Let me know when you’re ready to sell these, too, please! Gorgeous 🙂
Hello, I think these are gorgeous. I think the bullets could be be cast in clear resin (like a cabochon) for necklaces or jewelry so that the sharp edges and lead wouldn’t be harmful. In fact, I would love to buy some of these if you’re willing.
Want a pin or a brooch for mom in law. Add my email to the list please.
These are gorgeous! I think the bullets used are Remington Golden Sabers, (yep, I’m a gun nut and old disabled vet). Please put me ALSO, on your list if you ever decide to sell these, (with or without the stones). Thank you…
P.S. I’ve shown these to a few friends and ALL the women want them, including my wife…
Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love! 😉
I’d been hoping someone would make something like this and then I found your site while researching on ammo. Please, let me know if and when you start selling them.
I’ve been looking everywhere for someone who sells these! If you start selling them count me in 🙂 can I buy them without the gems though?
Count me in on plain earrings. I have been wanting a pair since I saw the picture of the “death flowers” on facebook a few months back. Now after Christmas I am searching for them and this is where I landed. Please e-mail me as well if/when these would be available to purchase. Thanks!
Beautiful! If you ever decide to sell these i would totally buy one- with or without a gemstone.
These are beautiful but, unfortunately you’ve clearly exposed the lead inside these jacketed bullets. What did you use to protect people from lead exposure and how long will it last?
Yes, I know. That’s why I haven’t sold them yet.
Hi Andrew – I am reaching out from a design company in NYC. I would love to speak to you a bit more about these pieces if you could email me when you have the chance.
-MM
Are you selling these yet? They are beautiful and I would love to buy one.
Hey Andrew, any chance you have a pair of .45 HST cufflinks ?
