PEACE PROJECT JEWELLERY RANGE

Our Peace Project Jewellery Range

Phet and his wife Bouatong creates our beautiful range of Peace Project Jewellery. They live in the village Ban Naphia in Xiengkhouang Province, Laos, known as the ‘spoon village’ as they originally made spoons from war scraps, bomb struts and plane parts left from the Indochina War. Phet and Bouatong cast their aluminium jewellery using a traditional method, by pouring molten aluminium into moulds made of packed sand. They then finish the pieces with sandpaper to make sure edges are smooth. These families now create a livelihood out of something that once devastated their homeland, by recycling the aluminium war scrap into a sustainable range of jewellery and souvenirs.
