“The bullet necklaces transform something tough and dangerous like a bullet inta a classy piece of ‘tough chic’ jewellery.”
“For rugged Rambo women and style divas alike is the Astali Bullet Bracelet, a little piece of war brought to your lady’s wrist by designer Shannon de Jong of New York City. Every bracelet is handcrafted from spent bullet casings strung over a thin brass chain and clasped by a matching brass toggle.”
“What better way to remember your travels than to wear them around your neck? Chic Report’s new fave, Astali, had made these great, quirky necklaces from foreign coins. Each one is one of a kind, and it’s up to you to imagine when and wear all your jewelry has been…”
“Unlikely, maybe…but it seems guns have come back into style (heard about Rihanna’s latest tattoo?). While Chic Report may not be ready to ink ourselves with the weapon, there’s definitely something very cool about this Tex Astali bracelet made from bullet casings.”
Danielle over at HauteCowgirl.com runs a feature about Astali. Here’s what she says:
“When I was introduced to Astali, it took my breathe away. They favor movement, handmade materials, organic materials, unusual materials, and re-purposed manmade materials. Astali turns the rough, rugged, and gritty, into something clever and sexy. Sexy descibes each and every piece perfectly.”
