Product description
The Cambodian Gong Ring is a stunning statement piece that not only enhances your jewelry collection but also carries a powerful message of peace and resilience. This unique ring is crafted from recycled brass bombshells, a poignant reminder of Cambodia's tumultuous past and a symbol of hope for a brighter future. Each ring is handcast by a vulnerable artisan group in Cambodia, providing them with fair trade opportunities and a sustainable income. The artisans, who reside in the Kandal Province, approximately 45 minutes from Phnom Penh, are skilled in ironwork and have transformed remnants of war into beautiful jewelry pieces. This initiative not only helps to uplift their community but also preserves traditional Cambodian craftsmanship. The ring features a distinctive gong shape, representing the transformation from war to peace, making it a meaningful accessory for anyone who values social responsibility and unique artistry. Measuring at .5 inches, the Cambodian Gong Ring is designed to be both eye-catching and comfortable to wear. As with all handcrafted goods, slight variations in design and finish make each piece truly one of a kind, ensuring that your ring is as unique as your personal style. By choosing to wear the Cambodian Gong Ring, you are not just making a fashion statement; you are also contributing to the livelihoods of artisans who face significant economic challenges. Approximately 30% of Cambodia's population still lives below the poverty line, and by purchasing this ring, you are helping to create fair trade jobs that empower these artisans and their families. The income generated from the sale of these bombshell products allows artisans to provide for their families, ensuring they have food on the table and the means to raise healthy children. This is especially crucial for women in the community, as it enables them to support their families and invest in their children's futures. The design of the Cambodian Gong Ring draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Cambodian culture, incorporating traditional skills that have been passed down through generations. Each piece reflects the artistry and dedication of the artisans, making it not just a piece of jewelry, but a story of resilience and hope. When you wear the Cambodian Gong Ring, you are wearing a piece of history, a symbol of transformation, and a testament to the strength of the human spirit. This ring is perfect for those who appreciate unique, handcrafted jewelry with a meaningful backstory. It can be worn on its own as a statement piece or stacked with other rings for a more personalized look.
