This necklace is made using a real, previous fired, purple tinted brass .223 bullet casing. The casing has been drilled, primer removed, and the bullet tip reinserted and hung from a nickel free chain. The entire bullet piece measures about 2 1/4 inch long. Please note we do not tint the brass. That is how the bullet naturally comes and we will not be able to offer any other colors at this time. This also means the color has a more 'rougher' than a smooth, solid appearance as it tinted for function rather than aesthetics. Since real bullets are used manufacturers may vary and bullets may have unique markings on the casing from being fired. Dimensions listed are approximate. Sizes, colors, and other characteristics may slightly differ due to the handmade nature of our products..
