Jeremy's Necklace





This was made for a friend's birthday/college graduation party. He turned 30 so I used a 30 caliber Luger Western spent shell that I found in an antique store. In the same store, I also found the leather boot laces used for the necklace cord. The smell of the old leather is amazing.

So when Jeremy turns 38, he can have a .38 special nickel plated pendant, and then a 44...I think we will stop at 50. For those of you who know as much about guns as I do cars, the 50 caliber shell is slightly larger than what would be considered tasteful jewelry. Unless you're Flafa Flav;) (I mean no diss to Flava; you rock homie!)

If you have a special spent shell you would like converted into a pendant, send me a convo on my etsy page:

First draft post disclaimer

I DO post first drafts.

A couple of reasons:
1) I do not take myself so seriously that a few minor mistakes cannot be overlooked by the reader. This is written by an human, therefore mistakes will be made.
2) I believe in my writing skills enough to have a mental image of how it will look before I write.
3) I also believe enough in the editing software to catch and alert with a red underline of typing mistakes. (I look at the keys; I know, bad, bad)

And of course, this was a first draft, thanks for reading.
