🏺 Artisan Story

The ironwork artisans behind this piece live in an underprivileged community in Cambodia's Kandal Province. The brass they work with comes from bomb casings — remnants of Cambodia's devastating wartime, now decades past. While Cambodia has made remarkable strides since the Khmer Rouge era, around 30% of the population still lives below the poverty line today. By choosing this cuff, you're helping create sustainable livelihoods and preserving a craft tradition rooted in resilience.
