Wholesale Spiral Necklace — Aluminum from War Ordnance

Oxidized steel chain, spiral pendant in hand-cast aluminum from the village of Ban Naphia, Laos. Pendant 5 x 3 cm. Very lightweight. Length 45 cm. Lobster clasp. Description A spiral. The oldest shape that exists — you find it in shells, in galaxies, in plant growth. Here it is aluminum poured into a sand mold and left to solidify: the wire starts at the outer edge and coils inward, open, legible, with a thickness that changes slightly along the way because no hand repeats the same gesture exactly twice. Five centimeters wide, three high. Flat, matte, almost weightless. It moves when you walk. The aluminum is reclaimed 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 in 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 darken — no maintenance required. The oxidized steel chain may lighten slightly over time — this is normal. Avoid direct impacts on the pendant: the open form is delicate at the inner wire. To clean: soft dry cloth. No chemicals.
