Weapons transformed into symbols of love are up-cycled by our Laotian artisan partners from Vietnam War shrapnel and scrap. Each piece helps clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs in Laos. Peacebomb jewelry has come to speak for itself in ways. Because it is a physical piece of history and positive transformation — bombs turned into symbols of love and hope — it resonates with the personal and social messages of those committed to living and wearing their values. WEAR, SHARE, TRANSFORM : Inspired by Muhammed Yunus and the power of social business to solve problems, we founded and named ARTICLE22 after the 22nd article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Rather than rely on the non-profit donor model, ARTICLE22, is built on a self-sustaining foundation, promotes collective effort, and nourishes shared success. Each of our artisan partners are agents of change rather than passive recipients of charity. Each of our customers turn fashion into real impact. Learn more at
