ECO FRIENDLY | HANDMADE | MADE IN CAMBODIA
Literally turning war into peace, these peace sign earrings carry a meaningful message and give back to a community once devastated by bombing.
They are highly polished and hand cast by a vulnerable artisan group in Cambodia from recycled brass bombshells.
Bomb casings are left over from Cambodia's wartime three decades ago.
Ironwork artisans skilfully mould bomb shells into beautiful jewellery pieces, introducing a small income to the community. Artisans are paid fairly and equitably for their skilful work, which keeps families together with food on their table. A liveable and reliable income is especially important for women as it allows them to raise healthy babies and children and provide for their future.
The designs use inspiration from Cambodia 's rich tapestry, restoring and preserving many traditional Cambodian skills.
As with all handcrafted goods, there are slight variations making each piece a work of art and truly one of a kind.
Material: Recycled brass from bombshells.
