Giraffe Home WAR AND PEACE RECLAIMED BOMBSHELL BRASS EARRING CAMBODIA

These are no ordinary earrings. Decades of war have left Cambodia's farmlands littered with brass casings from bombs, bullets and landmines. The metal that remains as a reminder of conflict is collected to be transformed into a symbol of resilience and healing. Artisans fashion these brass casings into jewelry pieces that carry messages of hope. Each of these earrings is inscribed with the Khmer word for "peace."

PLANT BASED CLEANERS & NATURAL CONDITIONERS Gently cleans sheepskin, woolens, cashmere, alpaca, silk, and other fine washables. To properly care for sheepskin, wool, silk, or other animal fibers, it is important to use a mild detergent that is enzyme free, and neutral in pH since strong acids and alkali's can cause irreversible damage. Enzymes are bad for sheepskin, because they break down protein, which is what wool and leather are made of. A formula that is neutral pH and without enzymes is not enough when you also care about what chemicals are in your laundry detergent.
