Bullet casing jeweler here...

[Emily Koro]

Melisa Persad Jouette suggested that I should come say hello. My name is Emily and I am a jeweler. I make jewelry out of bullet casings, and Melisa fell in love with them.

I've been making jewelry for over 20 years, was brought up in a military household, and have many friends who are both gun and jewlery enthusiasts.

I wanted to say hi. Ask me questions if you'd like. I'm happy to be here.

That's really cool, I would have never thought of that.

Also is that a picture of you in the avatar? Very nice tattoo.

I'm not very handy with a gun, but I've got mad skills with some jewelry pliers.

Yes, that is my back. Thank you.

I just started making bullet casing jewelry, and am obsessed with the different size casings and what I can create with them.

Thank ya'll for the warm welcome.

I have my Etsy store listed in my sig.

I did a custom set for Melisa (who sent me here) and love to do custom work.

I'm not sure how large these pics will post as they are pretty hi res, so I posted the links in a thread above, but can post the actual pics if the size of this doesn't offend. I know huge pics in posts are a bit annoying.

Nice..welcome to the forums

 

[username123]

Very nice work!

 

[Emily Koro]

Yikes.. that pic is pretty large..I'll stick with the links for now till I can downsize some pics.

Can ya'll give me a suggestion or two on possible shops in and around the Baton Rouge area that might be willing to take a chance on selling some of my jewelry?

I have been told that they will make great Christmas presents. A military friend has already ordered 1/2 a dz for family and friends, and I would love to have them in a few shops for people to see. I am no stranger to consignment, so that is always a possibility.

Any ideas?

Very cool. And like the 03protege said, nice ink.

 

[Emily Koro]

Thank you. My back has kind of become my trademark for my jewlery business. It's on everything from my Facebook page (you can find me Emily Annabelle Koro), my Etsy shop, to my business cards.

It's easily recognizable and helps alot when I do festivals to sell jewelry as I am my walking business card.

Very cool. And like the other 03protege said, nice ink.

Familiar with a "hogs tooth" at all?

[Emily Koro]

No, Sir. And I'm not going to google it to cheat.

Tell me about it, and do you want me to make jewelry with it?
