40 cal bullet necklace with floating amethyst Vintage 12k gold filled locket

This Auction is for a gold filled necklace and a 20mm locket with a fired, polished, soldered and machined .40 cal. bullet. The locket itself is Vintage 12k gold filled, custom made with a floating  3 mm amethyst cabochon. 
     The locket itself, comprised of the crystals and bezel, is hand made from vintage, new old stock. These were inherited from my grandfather who made and sold jewelry in his shop in Leadville, Colorado closing in the early 70's.
These  have been stored for over 50 years. They are new, old stock and have never been worn. These, being gold-filled are extremely durable and will last for a long time.  I've added a new beautiful 18 inch 14k gold filled cable chain to each locket. The larger locket is roughly the size of a quarter/ nickel.
 
Inside this locket I've placed a cut and machined fired .40 cal. bullet. The bullet slice has been cut, soldered, polished and married with a natural and genuine 3 mm amethyst cabochon. The amethyst floats inside the space where the fired primer was removed. The bullet floats neatly inside the locket. The amethyst adds a nice bright color to the locket. The locket can be opened with a small screwdriver and the creation looks nice with or without the gem (see pic)
