No War Factory – Basic Square Bracelet
Jewels Made from Bombs
No War Factory jewelry is made in Laos by local artisans, crafted from recycled aluminum from war ordnance, primarily dating back to the Vietnam War. Laotian artisans create these artifacts using a technique called sand casting: simple clay molds into which molten aluminum is poured. The raw pieces obtained are imported to Italy where they are modified and embellished.
Each bracelet carries a story of transformation: from an instrument of destruction to an object of beauty. A piece of jewelry that is also an act of peace.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Where does the aluminum used for this bracelet come from?
The aluminum comes from unexploded ordnance mainly dating back to the Vietnam War, still present in large quantities in the territory of Laos. The recovery and recycling of these materials is also a land clearance activity.
What is the difference compared to the No War Factory Curved Bracelet?
Both are the same price (€20) and use the same material and production process. The difference is in the shape: the Basic Square Bracelet has a square cross-section and a more geometric and decisive profile; the Curved Bracelet has a softer and more rounded shape. The choice is purely aesthetic and a matter of personal style.
Is every bracelet identical, or are there differences?
Due to the nature of the artisanal process — manual casting in clay molds — each piece is unique and may show small variations in surface, texture, and finish. These imperfections are not defects, but the signature of craftsmanship.
Is aluminum safe for the skin? Can it cause allergies?
Aluminum is generally considered a hypoallergenic metal and well tolerated by most people. If you have particular skin sensitivity, we recommend checking your individual tolerance.
Does it match other No War Factory jewelry?
Yes. The Basic Square Bracelet perfectly matches the Square Necklace (€45) and the Square Earrings (€35) from the same collection, sharing the same square geometric shape for a coordinated and coherent look.
Is it suitable as a gift?
Absolutely yes. At €20, it is the most accessible piece in the No War Factory collection along with the Curved Bracelet. A gift with a soul and a powerful story, perfect for those who love objects that tell something important.
