FORTY years after the end of the Vietnam war, US bombs dropped along the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos have become expensive jewellery worn by American fashionistas.

Delicate bracelets encrusted with diamonds, bronze pendants, necklaces and drop earrings - all made from ordnance left over from America's deadliest war - are on display on the sidelines of New York Fashion Week.
