This statement ring carries a powerful message of transforming war into peace. It is adorned with a traditional Khmer pattern and is made by a vulnerable artisan group in Cambodia who hand-cast it from recycled brass bombshells.

The ring is highly polished and serves as a means to give back to a community that was once devastated by the bombing. Every purchase of this Khmer Temple Ring supports a community of vulnerable artisans in Cambodia, providing them with sustainable employment and a brighter future.

Wear this ring with pride and contribute to a cause that is making a positive impact through beautiful craftsmanship.

Artisan Profile

Ironwork artisans, living in an underprivileged community in the Kandal Province, approximately 45 minutes from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 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 underprivileged communities. While Cambodia has enjoyed years of peace and development since the war and atrocities of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime, today 30% of the population still live below the poverty line (on less than $1.25 per day).

By purchasing these bombshell products, you are helping to create fair trade jobs for disadvantaged Cambodians with high levels of unemployment. Artisans are paid fairly and equitably for their skillful work, which keeps families together with food on their table. A livable 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
Measurements: L 2" + Adjustable band
Handmade with love in Cambodia
As with all handcrafted goods, there are slight variations making each piece a work of art and truly one of a kind.
