Turning war into peace, these Recycled Bombshell Honeycomb design earrings carry a meaningful message and give back to a community once devastated by bombing. They are highly polished brass and feature a bullet in the center.

  • Material: Recycled brass bomb shell + Bullet fragments
  • Measurements: L 2" x W 1.25" 
  • Handmade with love in Cambodia
  • As with all handcrafted goods, there are slight variations making each piece a work of art and truly one of a kind.

Ironwork artisans, living in an underprivileged community in the Kandal Province, approximately 45 minutes from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, make this recycled bomb shell and bullet jewelry. Bomb casings are left over from Cambodia's wartime three decades ago. Ironwork artisans skillfully mold bomb shells into beautiful jewelry pieces, introducing a small income to underprivileged communities. While Cambodia has enjoyed years of peace and development since the war and atrocities of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime, today 30% of the population still live below the poverty line (on less than $1.25 per day).

By purchasing these bombshell products, you are helping to create fair trade jobs for disadvantaged Cambodians with high levels of unemployment. Artisans are paid fairly and equitably for their skillful work, which keeps families together and provides a livable and reliable income. The designs use inspiration from Cambodia's rich history, restoring and preserving many traditional Cambodian patterns.
