This is proof that not all things that come out of war and warfare are bad. The Astali Bullet Bracelet is handcrafted from empty bullet casings strung together with a brass chain and held by a brass toggle. Unfortunately, this bracelet is only made for the ladies, so this may be the best gift you could be giving to your significant other. Your lady will be happy to know that this piece of jewelry was designed and lovingly made by hand by another woman, Shannon De Jong of New York. $138.

Itching for a fashion accessory but afraid of looking soft? Then why not try on of these Paracord Survival Bracelets if you don’t mind the 1″ width and the manliest of manly appearances.

Great for emergencies where you need to tie things up quickly (just use your imagination). After use, just send your bracelet to the vendors along with your survival story and they’d gladly rewind the cord for you. Several buckles are available to lock your bracelet, including a plastic cliplock, a stainless steel shackle, and will come in lanyard form as well. $18+.
