These gold hoop earrings carry a story worth wearing. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Siem Reap, Cambodia, each pair is made from recycled brass bullet and bombshell casings, then delicately finished with 14K gold plating for a warm, lasting shine. Available in two sizes, they're the kind of everyday earrings you'll reach for again and again — and a thoughtful gift for anyone who cares about where their jewellery comes from.
