heJewelry has always been a part of history, depicting and showcasing the culture of an era. And the wars? The wars have been the history, the history of pain and tears. One such war was the Secret war(1964-1973) where the US heavily bombarded Vietnam. Loas is one of the heavily bombarded country in the history. How about bring the jewelry and the bombs together? Today in this 21st century we stand for peace and well being. So the idea of making the jewelry made from the bombs gives birth to an all new era of peace and a smart way to utilize the bombs which were made to destroy them.

 

These peacebomb jewelry materials are recouped from the “Field of Jars” in Laos . These are produced using re-purposed scrap war metals from exploded bombs and other weapon and made by local craftsmen. The craftsmen of Laos get an opportunity to work and support their families. They have found innovative new techniques for better production. The money earned is donated to pay electricity bill of the village and clearing the area infested by bombs. Additionally, the local craftsmen are paid well. The story of bomb comes to a full cycle, from destructive to a jewelry that signifies peace.

 

The art and the story should go hand in hand. Neither the art nor can the story alone can reach out to the millions alone if they do not gel in well. The jewelry should speak volumes about the story behind it. The simple and basic round wrist bangle speaks about the full circle of a bomb from being negative to positive. Basically, the buyers are taking back the bombs shaped in a jewelry or rather positiveness. 

 

The strong bangles are engraved with peace messages and bangles are roused by conventional peace images, the notable peace sign and peace strips to convey the story and cause behind making the bangles. This collection is highly loved by the youth as it is trendy and looks great as well. Additionally, the design is well planned and looks great on both men and women. Perfection in polishing the jewelry makes it even more attractive. The authentic Bar Tag pieces, sculptural bomb shard neck piece, tribal Triangle jewelry are a present day understanding of indigenous stylish enlightened and inspired by tribal weaving.

 

The new generation wants jewelry that not only looks good but also has a cause attached to it. The buyers have now the question of how jewelries are made, the material, the source, the place and a lot more. And these jewelries have a story to tell, the story of a devastating war. Now people understand that their money spent on the jewelry can have a major impact. What they wear should additionally speak to that distinction rather than just look great.They're making inquiries, which is the best way to make the change. Essentially, purchasers are more inquisitive. Bringing on a new change and witnessing it by contributing it to a cause brings out the inner satisfaction.
