SLATE + SALT - Cambodian Gong Ring

Turning war into peace, this statement ring features a gong shape and gives back to a community once devastated by bombing. Ironwork artisans 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 the community. Artisans are paid fairly and equitably for their skillful work, which keeps families together with food on their table. A liveable and reliable income is especially important for women as it allows them to raise healthy babies and children and provide for their future. The designs use inspiration from Cambodia 's rich tapestry, restoring and preserving many traditional Cambodian skills. Material: Brass from recycled bombshell + bullet casings.
