Selected by andu amet

Although it is not well known in Japan, there are still many more genuinely beautiful things in Africa. In andu amet’s online store, we present those kinds of items that we found while traveling around Africa as “Selected by andu amet”, in addition to leather products made in our atelier in Ethiopia.

Bullet Collection

This jewelry is made in an atelier founded by a local woman, with the aim of empowering the women of Ethiopia. Economical and mental independence of women, as well as stable job creation are realized through making these jewelries, and it has been given the “WFTO certification: World Fair Trade Organization certification”, the international fair trade certification.

In this series, beads made by melting bullets that were unused in regional conflicts and civil war, are reused. By recreating weapons that make people sad into jewelry that make them shine, they represent the hope for the future and the strength of moving forward. Please enjoy the uniqueness and glow that can be created only by hand.
