Seven diamonds symbolizing love seven days a week. We received so many ring requests from birds and grooms that we extended our use of Kimberley Process Certified Diamonds into our bangles. After all, the diamond is the most iconic symbol of love and our guiding mantra is LOVE IS THE BOMB as objects of destruction are transformed into symbols of love. It is with this spirit of love that farmer-artisans in Laos began upcycling Vietnam War shrapnel and scrap into soup spoons to feed their noodle soup loving neighbors in the 1970s. Each ARTICLE22 piece is a modern heirloom – an actual piece of history redesigned with intention – that inspires action toward our future, individually and collectively.

Embedded with seven 1.7mm Kimberley Process Certified diamonds, our signature Peacbomb Al skinny bangle is available in Small, Standard, and now Large sizes. If you would like custom gemstones, email service@article22.com and allow 10 days to ship.

Each piece gives back to support traditional Laotian 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.

DISCOVER OUR STORY AND IMPACT

How do we get the gold tone? Gold anodization of aluminum known as anodizing is an electrochemical process which converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant oxide layer. It cannot chip or peel. We do not use pigments, but metals to obtain the gold color. Gold anodizing is therefore extremely UV resistant and will remain sparkling for a long time. COLOR/PATINA MAY VARY DUE TO THE HAND MADE NATURE OF THE PIECE. These imperfections reflect the nature of the material and artisanal hand feel.

    Hand cast re-purposed military grade aluminum – our PEACEBOMB Al metal includes Vietnam War era bombs, plane parts, military hardware and other aluminum scrap.

    East meets West. Each PEACEBOMB Al piece is authentically handcrafted in Laos and finished in Vientiane or New York.

    PEACEBOMB Al does not have to be removed in water. Metal does not tarnish, rust or leave discoloration on skin and has been tested to determine that it is NICKEL FREE.

    Bangles can be worn constantly. With wear, each piece becomes uniquely yours and will acquire a polished patina from the natural oils of your skin.

    ABOUT OUR DIAMONDS
    Please know that every diamond supplied to ARTICLE22 is Kimberley Process Certified in accordance with the 2003 Kimberley Process Act from our reputable and honorable merchant here in NYC. We are always looking for ways to tighten our supply chain by purchasing directly from artisanal producers. It is our dream to one day be able to do this for our diamonds and gemstones.
    We use SI-1 / SI-2 quality and clarity of white diamonds cut in the traditional "diamond cut" technique. We work with our diligent diamond merchant to ensure an "eye-clean" depth perception with the aim that no inclusions are seen with the naked eye (however, this is not a guarantee).
