Shine A Light Collection is about the ripple effect positive energy and action have. Collaboration is essential to change. Like the transformational metal forming our jewelry, each of us can be a conductor — a transferer of a vision of a better, sustainable world. Together, we shine our light toward this emerging new day.

Weapons transformed into symbols of love, upcycled Vietnam War shrapnel and other scrap form the base of our ethically produced Shine Your Light Collection. Each ARTICLE22 piece is a modern heirloom – an actual piece of history redesigned with intention – that inspires action toward our future, individually and collectively.

Each piece gives back to support traditional Laotian artisan livelihoods, village development, community endeavors and further de-miniing efforts. Your purchase contributes to MAG (Mines Advisory Group) to safely & expertly clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs contaminating land in Laos.

How do we get the gold tone? Gold anodization of aluminum known as anodizing is an electrochemical process which converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant oxide layer. It cannot chip or peel. We do not use pigments, but metals to obtain the gold color. Gold anodizing is therefore extremely UV resistant and will remain sparkling for a long time. COLOR/PATINA MAY VARY DUE TO THE HAND MADE NATURE OF THE PIECE. These imperfections reflect the nature of the material and artisanal hand feel.
