Recycled Bomb and Bullet Layered North Star Necklace
Recycled Bomb and Bullet Layered North Star Necklace
Handmade of recycled bomb and bullet fragments, this necklace is the perfect mix of edgy and delicate. It features two layered chains with a bullet fragment and a north star pendant.
Home-based ironwork artisans, living in an underprivileged community near Phnom Penh, Cambodia, make this recycled bomb shell and bullet jewelry out of bomb casings left over from Cambodia's war three decades ago. The artisans skillfully mold bomb shells into beautiful jewelry pieces, introducing a small income to their community and preserving their traditional skills and designs. While Cambodia has enjoyed years of peace and development since the brutal Khmer Rouge regime, 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.
Material: Recycled brass bombshell & Bullet fragments + Gold plated chains

As with all handcrafted goods, there are slight variations making each piece a work of art and truly one of a kind
