BulletGirl Breaks Boundaries with Tamara Umansky
One of the questions we’re most often asked at BulletGirl is whether you need to be pro-gun to wear our jewelry. The answer is a resounding no! We do not take a stance one way or another. Our brand isn’t political - what ties us together is the desire to empower and celebrate women. Bulletgirl Jewelry is a symbol of our confidence, strength and resilience. The bullet can mean different things for different people. Tamara Umansky, an NY/LA based photographer and artist, who leans anti-gun, shares her perspective on the brand and what our jewelry symbolizes for her.

Tamara UmanskyWhat do the bullets in Bulletgirl Jewelry signify to you?
What I love most about BulletGirl is that it breaks the mold and boundaries about what bullets really are or can be. As an artist based in NY/LA, I lean pro-gun control but I see BulletGirl as a creative and powerful movement to deliver the feeling of beauty, power, and strength that all women deserve to feel. The jewelry allows us to shine a light into our inner alter egos of being badass and truly unstoppable. Bulletgirl jewelry transforms bullets from weapons of war into symbols of love. They are a visible shield that serves to protect, not to harm. In a sense, they make you wonder--are they real bullets or aren't they?

Of course, my immediate impression upon seeing them wear the jewelry was how stunningly beautiful they looked! I loved how the jewelry really encouraged them to lean into their confidence and their strength - they looked like they were ready to take on anything they set their minds to. They are fabulous, empowering and affordable.
