Wholesale Spiral Necklace — Aluminum from War Ordnance

Rust-stained steel chain, hand-cast aluminum spiral pendant made in the village of Ban Naphia, Laos. Pendant 5 x 3 cm. Very lightweight. Length 45 cm. Lobster clasp. Description A spiral. The oldest shape there is — you find it in shells, in galaxies, in the growth of plants. Here it is aluminum poured into a sand mold and left to solidify: the wire starts from the outer edge and winds inward, open, readable, with a thickness that changes slightly along the path because no hand repeats exactly the same gesture twice. Five centimeters wide, three high. Flat, matte, almost weightless. It moves when you walk. The aluminum is recovered from unexploded ordnance from the Vietnam War, through demining operations coordinated with UXOLAO. Mr. Phet, Thone and the families of the village of Ban Naphia melt and shape it by hand on the Plain of Jars. What was once an instrument of destruction becomes a form humanity has always used to represent movement, time, life. Care Aluminum does not oxidize or blacken — no maintenance needed. The rust-stained steel chain may lighten slightly over time — this is normal. Avoid direct impacts on the pendant: the open shape is delicate at the inner wire. To clean: soft dry cloth. No chemicals.
