Ammo Jewellery & Workshops

About Ammo Jewellery

Ammo is a jewellery social enterprise based in Siem Reap, Cambodia, that empowers local women and youth to fulfill their dreams. Founded by British jeweller Madeline Green in 2013, and inspired by the Cambodian tradition of melting found bullets to make jewellery – at Ammo, we recycle blank brass cartridges that have been fired once (in practice, rather than from bloodshed). For us its a great symbol of transformation for Cambodia and for its incredible people – creating ‘Beauty from Destruction! ‘

Ethical Handcrafted Jewellery

At Ammo Jewellery, senior designer Chantrea trains apprentices in ancestral jewellery-making techniques. Their practices focus on providing mentorship, skills training, and fair wages to disadvantaged youth and artisans. By repurposing fired brass into handcrafted accessories, Ammo transforms waste into wearable art that honors cultural traditions.
