🏡 Artisan Story
These earrings are made by ironwork artisans living in a rural community in the Kandal Province of Cambodia. The bomb casings they work with are remnants of a conflict that ended decades ago — but whose material traces remain scattered across the country. By transforming these remnants into handcrafted jewellery, these artisans are reclaiming that history and building something new from it.
Today, around 30% of Cambodia's population still lives below the poverty line. The fair trade income generated through this craft helps provide families with food, stability, and dignity. For many of the women involved, it also means the freedom to care for and provide for their children — something no statistic can fully capture.
