Shotgun Shell Slices

Shotgun Shell Slices for Bullet Jewelry & Crafts

These are genuine slices cut from the metal base of real, once-fired 12 and 20 gauge shotgun shells — not the plastic body, but the brass or nickel end with the headstamp still visible. Each one is deburred and filed by hand for a smooth edge, ready to polish, drill, or buff further depending on your project. Headstamps, manufacturers, and finishes vary since these come from genuine fired shells, not a mold.

Available in a range of brands, finishes, and hand-painted styles, from single-color options to gold, silver, and mixed-tone pieces.

Popular Uses

  • Bullet Jewelry: earrings, necklaces, and pendants — the deprimed hole is a natural spot for a crystal or wire setting.
  • Belt Buckles: a durable, distinctive centerpiece for a custom buckle build.
  • Place Card & Table Number Holders: a memorable detail for hunting-themed or rustic events.
  • Steampunk & Patriotic Décor: a raw, industrial accent piece, popular for nation- and anniversary-themed builds.
