Fonderie 47, the company that removes AK47s from war zones and transforms them into rare jewelry and accessories, announced its new collaboration with renowned New York-based jewelry designer James de Givenchy.
Givenchy’s Phoenix Collection for Fonderie 47 was inspired by the concept of the egg as a symbol of budding possibility, fundamental beauty, and the potential for rebirth. The limited edition pieces are crafted from AK47 steel, sustainably-sourced 18 karat rose gold and platinum, and conflict-free diamonds in Givenchy’s New York City studio.
The Phoenix Collection features four handcrafted jewelry pieces for women and an objet d’art, an egg crafted from AK47 steel and diamonds. The Phoenix Collection debuted at a private exhibition in New York City this past weekend. Pieces are available for purchase by contacting Fonderie 47.
