These teardrop earrings with colourful glass beads carry a profound legacy of resilience.

Handmade by resourceful artisans in the village of Ban Naphia, Xiangkhoang Province, Laos, they are cast from safely cleared unexploded ordnance (UXO) and scrap metal left over from the Indo-China War.

Working alongside the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) to ensure safe collection, villagers melt the metal over open fires and pour it into traditional sand molds to create these elegant pieces.

To complete the story, each pair of earrings arrives beautifully presented on traditional, colourful handmade paper, crafted by local artisans in Laos.

By wearing these earrings, you are supporting the transformation of conflict remnants into symbols of hope, while sustaining the traditional crafts of the region.

Material: 100% Recycled metal (cleared UXO and aluminum scrap) with accents beads in assorted colours. Visit us in-store or let us choose for you!
