A statement piece, boasting a large stone bead in taupe tones, the Chuchu necklace is made of tiny silver coloured strands of beading. The recycled metals come from farmers who collect discarded artillery shells which local villagers transform into beads. The beads are sent to Entoto Mountain in Addis Ababa where a social enterprise project employs local women who might otherwise struggle to find work. These artisans at skillfully create beautiful jewellery in a loving and community minded environment.
What was once intended for harm now brings hope and life.
