Mayamiko is bringing you a selection of jewelery from ARTICLE22 - an organisation on a mission to transform negative into positive. Each piece of jewelry is a modern heirloom – a piece of history upcycled from Vietnam War shrapnel and scrap by artisans in Laos. Proceeds from the collection clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs there.

Beatrix has been an ARTICLE22 collaborator ever since she was gifted one our villages very first spoon made from War Metal. A true Renaissance Woman, she is an artist, designer, author, and filmmaker. Born in Germany, she lives between NYC and Charlottesville, VA.
