Ironwork artisans in the Kandal Province, approximately 45 minutes from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, have skillfully created these earrings from recycled bullet casings and brass bomb shells left over from the brutal Khmer Rouge regime thirty years ago.
While Cambodia has enjoyed years of peace and development since the war, today 30% of the population still lives in poverty. By purchasing these recycled bullet and bomb shell products, you are helping to create fair trade jobs for disadvantaged Cambodians. Artisans are paid fairly and equitably for their work, and the designs use inspiration from Cambodia's rich tapestry, restoring and preserving many traditional skills.
These highly polished earrings feature a bullet casing center, wire hooks, and measure 2"H x 1.5"W each. As with all handcrafted goods, there are slight variations making each piece a work of art and truly one of a kind. Don't forget the matching cuff bracelet!
