Carved Brass Bangle Bracelet

Carved Bombshell Bangle — Recycled Brass | Handcast in Cambodia by SLATE + SALT

Some jewelry is beautiful. Some jewelry is meaningful. This bangle is both — and then some. The Carved Bombshell Bangle by SLATE + SALT is handcast from recycled brass bombshells left over from Cambodia's wartime decades ago — raw materials of destruction, transformed by skilled artisan hands into something luminous, wearable, and full of peace. Every time you put it on, you are wearing a piece of history redeemed.

The Brass That Makes It Beautiful

Brass is one of the most enduring and beautiful metals in jewelry making — warm, golden, and richly lustrous in a way that catches the light with a depth that gold-plated pieces simply cannot replicate. This bangle is highly polished, giving it a mirror-bright finish that is simultaneously bold and elegant — a statement piece that works as effortlessly with a casual outfit as it does with an evening look.

The carved detailing adds a layer of artisanal texture and visual interest that sets this bangle apart from anything mass-produced. Because each piece is handcast and hand-finished, the carving carries the subtle, beautiful variations of human craftsmanship — no two bangles are exactly alike. What you receive is genuinely one of a kind.

At 2.5" inner diameter, this bangle is sized for a larger wrist — substantial and confident in its presence, sliding on with ease and sitting beautifully against the wrist. Wear it alone as a statement, or stack it with other pieces for a curated, layered look.

War Transformed Into Peace

The brass in this bangle was once a bombshell — a remnant of Cambodia's devastating wartime history. Ironwork artisans in the Kandal Province, approximately 45 minutes from Phnom Penh, collect these remnants and skillfully mold them into jewelry, transforming materials of conflict into objects of beauty and commerce. It is one of the most powerful acts of redemption you can wear on your wrist.

By choosing this bangle, you are directly supporting these artisans — skilled craftspeople in an underprivileged community who are paid fairly and equitably for their work. A livable, reliable income keeps families together, puts food on the table, and allows women to raise healthy children and build toward a future. The designs draw inspiration from Cambodia's rich cultural tapestry, preserving and restoring traditional Cambodian craft skills that might otherwise be lost.
