Artisan Profile

Crafted by ironwork artisans from an underprivileged community in Kandal Province, Cambodia, these pieces are created from bomb casings left over from conflicts three decades ago. These artisans expertly transform bombshells into stunning handmade jewelry, offering a modest income to impoverished communities. Despite Cambodia's progress over the years, 30% of its population still lives below the poverty line.

By purchasing these unique pieces, you contribute to fair trade employment for disadvantaged Cambodians facing high levels of unemployment. Artisans receive fair wages for their skilled work, helping keep families together and providing essential needs. This reliable income is particularly vital for women, allowing them to nurture their children and secure their future. The designs draw inspiration from Cambodia's rich cultural heritage, preserving traditional crafts.
