Bullets to Beauty . Sacred Matrix on Silk

After my last trip to Ethiopia in 2019 I was truly inspired to create this necklace design .

After a 9 hour trip into the mountains , Tigist and I met with the local families that make these incredible crosses and beads .

They use recycled bullet casings as the base material for these unique pieces .

The beauty of the landscape, the harshness of the environment and the dedication to workmanship and support for the community are all here in these handcrafted necklaces that I’ve created for you .

Each of these designs are different, just like no two of us are alike no two of these pieces are either .

Materials :

Vintage Pure Dupion Silk with this stunning vintage stripe on a gold colour with Watery Gold and full  Gold   Czech glass beads and Bronze Metal Ethiopian Crosses .
