Well I have a love for machines and mechanisms of all types and guns fall into these categories. While growing up in America it is sort of hard not to be a bit curious about guns whether you are for or against owning one. I have always been fascinated by gun design especially hand-crafted guns like the rifles made by James Purdy and Sons of  London. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family:arial\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family:arial\">I have made the cufflinks for a couple of friends who are into hunting and shooting and the necklace was a commission from John Reed of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exportaid.co.uk\/\">Exportaid UK<\/a> for his daughter&#8217;s 21st birthday. John asked me to make something his daughter could wear anywhere but also make an edgy statement as she really likes things that are outside the norm. So I thought it would be interesting to make a kind of traditional looking necklace modeled after diamond and pearl drop necklaces but replace the precious elements with the ends of the bullet shells. This necklace also makes quite a good statement about the violence and greed behind fine jewelry from jewelry heists to conflict diamonds.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family:arial\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family:arial\">Give a shout!<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family:arial\">H.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size:x-small\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-style: italic\">photos by HSkowood<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sterling silver necklace and cufflinks featuring reclaimed 38 + 22 caliber bullet shells Why bullets?
