Vietnam bombs transformed into NY jewellery
The pieces made by Laos artisans are distributed by a Brooklyn startup and are sold in nearly 40 countries
New York

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.
