ASTALI: Single Bullet Necklace, Copper 7.62 Recycled Shell Casing, 28.5″ Unisex
The Copper 7.62 Bullet Necklace by ASTALI is a bold unisex design that transforms an instrument of destruction into a piece of renewal. Handmade in Los Angeles by designer Shannon De Jong, it features a recycled copper 7.62 x 54mm bullet casing suspended from an antique-silver chain, finished with a matching lobster clasp. Measuring 28.5 inches in length, it can be layered with shorter necklaces or worn alone as a powerful statement of transformation.
Every casing used in ASTALI’s jewellery is collected from shooting ranges before being cleaned, polished, and reimagined into wearable art. The intent is not to glamourise weaponry or violence, but to highlight the beauty of recycling and reclamation, transforming what once represented harm into something purposeful and enduring. This philosophy lies at the core of ASTALI’s creative practice — seeing potential where others see waste.
Because the materials are reclaimed, each casing bears small dents or marks from its past life. These subtle imperfections are preserved intentionally, adding authenticity and individuality to every necklace. The copper tone offers a warm, earthy richness that deepens over time, developing a natural patina that reflects the passage of wear and memory.
The 7.62 calibre has a strong physical presence balanced by minimalist design, making it suitable for both everyday wear and statement styling. It serves as a reminder that transformation is possible, and that beauty can emerge from even the most unlikely origins.
