Fonderie 47 was started to provide a powerful means toward a stable and prosperous Africa free from the fear of assault rifles. The company, which was founded by humanitarian and activist partners, confiscates AK47s from African war zones and transforms them into limited-edition jewelry — such as the mechanical cufflinks above. In collaboration with renowned designers, such as Roland Iten, the purchase of these upcycled pieces destroys 100 assault rifles in Africa.
