Called 'Bombshell Jewelry', this brass Peace Dove necklace was actually repurposed from being a bombshell or land mine from the war torn country of Cambodia. This piece of jewelry is now a powerful symbol of strength in adversity. Years of war littered Cambodia with bomb casings, until Makers like these decided to turn those remnants of violence into symbols of resilience, healing and hope, as showcased in this depiction of a traditional dove, the symbol for peace, in this piece of jewelry.
