ARTICLE22 is on a mission to transform negative into positive. Each piece of jewelry is a modern heirloom – a piece of history
upcycled
from Vietnam War shrapnel and scrap by artisans in Laos. Proceeds from the collection clear some of
the 80 million unexploded bombs there.
The Story Bangle is the first piece and represents the
virtuous circle formed by ARTICLE22 - the more jewelry worn and shared, the more land cleared, the more material for artisans to make more jewelry and build their lives.
Engraved with the story, dropped + made in Laos, each bangle is also marked with the company namesake, ARTICLE22, inspired by the 22nd Article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states everyone’s right to social, economic, and cultural security and the free development of personality.
Each piece gives back to support traditional Lao artisan livelihoods, village development, community endeavors and further de-mining efforts.
Your purchase contributes to MAG (Mines Advisory Group) to safely & expertly clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs contaminating land in Laos.
$40 clears 3m2 of Laotian landscape
ARTICLE22 collection engravings include hopeful
messages that envision and inspire action toward a better future, individually and collectively. Each design starts a conversation about how we can
unite around our shared beliefs and transform ourselves and our world.
History is now.
