Impression Earrings
Impression Earrings

These adorable post earrings feature a minimal concave scoop. The earrings are made from upcycled brass from bomb casings and are handmade in Cambodia where decades of conflict have left the countryside littered with bombs-some still dangerous, all a reminder of violence. One by one, the makers at our fair trade partner Rajana cut and shape brass bomb casings, safely cleared by a demining agency, into jewelry - wearable statements of peace and progress.

  • Upcycled brass bomb casing
