Of all the anti-war peacekeeping actions, the most beautiful and creative were and remain art projects, in which deadly weapons are transformed into harmless, cute little things filled with kindness and love. For example, in the original musical instruments, like Pedro Reyes, paintings by David Palmer, art objects by Magnus Gjoen, which we have already written about. Or behold, beautiful handmade decorationsmade from spent bullets by the creative team of the studio Impact Accessories … The team of the art studio accepts spent bullets for creative disposal. Designers cut out money clips, rings and earrings, pendants and pendants, brooches and crosses from old patrons that have served their service, giving the sleeves the shape of plants, insects, animals and birds, as well as cutting out creative abstract figures from them as blanks for future accessories … Some ornaments are inlaid with precious stones or framed with precious metals, but mostly these cute little things are of simple and laconic design, with patterns and ornaments engraved on an aluminum, nickel or brass surface, polished to a shine by the hands of skilled jewelers. Make fashion, not war!

It takes a lot of work for designers to turn patrons into jewelry. Manually cut the sleeve, straighten the metal, polish and grind it to a shine, cut out the shape of the future jewelry. And then make it so that this decoration pleases, arouses the desire to touch the shiny surface, run your finger along the smooth polished edges, try on the decoration for yourself. The center of the composition is always the capsule, creatively played by the designers. The middle of a flower, the head of an animal or bird, decorated with a precious stone, or without additional inlay, the capsule also serves as a confirmation that in the "past life" the pendant, brooch or ring was indeed life-taking ammunition. Today, they do not take away, but give people goodness and beauty, symbolizing peace and tranquility under a clear sky.

There are many crosses in the collection of jewelry made from patrons, which are considered to be guardian amulets. And among them there is one "veteran", a unique cross, which will soon celebrate its centenary. "Born" in 1917 and intended for military operations, a hundred years later this cartridge received a new life, peaceful and calm.
