Bullet cremation jewelry looks very similar to a real bullet, but the casing opens up to hold a small amount of cremains, burial soil, a lock of hair, or another keepsake. A ring is attached to one end, usually the base where the primer would be located, so that the bullet can be attached to a cord, a necklace chain, or a keychain. This jewelry is not made from a real bullet casing, but has a very realistic appearance.

What Are Bullet Cremation Jewelry Pieces Made Of?

Although these jewelry pieces are not made from actual bullet or shotgun shells, they are made from metals like solid brass, copper, stainless steel, and aluminum. Each item can be opened so that you can add a small amount of cremains, burial soil, dried funeral flowers, or another keepsake. Along with the threaded lid, the bullet includes a rubber gasket to help seal the interior chamber and make it waterproof.

While many "plain" bullet cremation pendants are available, Perfect Memorials also has a number of items that include a symbol or image. Choose from options like a Christian fish, a battle cross, a motorcycle, or a football. These images add an extra special touch to your jewelry.

How Much Does It Hold?

Because of the nature of bullet cremation jewelry, it can hold more than many other cremation pendants. Some pieces can hold up to 1 cubic inch of cremains, although smaller items may hold a bit less. Please note that all cremation jewelry is made to hold only a small amount of cremains so that the ashes can be shared among loved ones.

While bullet jewelry is larger than many other types of cremation jewelry, some pieces may still be smaller than the real thing. They do have a very realistic appearance, however, that's sure to please a gun enthusiast or hunter.

Personalizing Your Jewelry

Most bullet cremation jewelry can be personalized with optional engraving in a script or block font. The engraving may be placed on the front or back of the shell, depending on the specific style. You may be able to include several lines of text, such as the deceased person's name and a date.
