Golden Hook Earrings
Golden Hook Earrings

Reminiscent of a flower's anther, the sweet curve of the Golden Hook Earrings will add an elegant sense of nature to your outfit. These earrings 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.
