Giveaway: Bullet and Quartz Crystal Pendant Necklace by Sunday Creek

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to the randomly chosen 466th commenter, Roswell! And I have good news for even those that didn't win - Cheryl is offering 10% off in her Etsy shop, just use coupon code "AQUARIANN" before June 15th, 2011.

Cheryl of Sunday Creek is offering a choice between the amazing Crystal Point and Bullet Casing Necklace above and an elegant Winchester 45 Auto Bullet Casing Necklace to one bold woman with attitude out there. Either piece is sure to cause a scene wherever you go, but the first stops my heart. The pendant features a golden brass .380 auto caliber bullet casing deeply etched in a wave pattern with an unpolished natural quartz crystal point (and a baby terminated point!) with a multi-faceted crystal rondelle for extra bling!

Cheryl turns trash to treasure with her unique line of bullet jewelry. Many of her designs resemble gold pieces favored by the ancient Romans, Etruscans and Byzantine with their rich golden hues and textured spiral designs. She collects all of her casings from a professional firing range, so they're upcycled in a beautifully unique way. Each is tumbled for hours to remove gunpowder residue and restore a like-new appearance then etched by hand. Cheryl has it on good authority that her designs are even airport friendly - the 'dimple' in the primer clearly shows the bullet has been previously fired and that no gunpowder remains.

How To Enter The Giveaway

Giveaway is open worldwide. I will be pulling a number from my random.org top hat after 11:59pm EST on March 15, 2011, and the corresponding commenter will win!
