Artisan Profile

Home-based ironwork artisans, living in an underprivileged community surrounding Phnom Penh, Cambodia, create this recycled bombshell and bullet jewelry. With bomb casings left over from Cambodia's wartime three decades ago, ironwork artisans skillfully transform these remnants into beautiful jewelry pieces, providing a small but vital income to their communities.

Although Cambodia has enjoyed years of peace and development since the war and the Khmer Rouge regime, around 30% of the population still live below the poverty line (on less than $1.25 per day). By purchasing these bombshell products, you are supporting Fair Trade jobs for disadvantaged Cambodians facing high unemployment rates. Artisans are paid fairly and equitably for their skilled labor, which keeps families together with food on their tables. A stable income is particularly crucial for women, enabling them to raise healthy children and secure their future. Each design draws inspiration from Cambodia's rich cultural tapestry, preserving many traditional Cambodian skills.
