We are proud to announce a collaboration with Swedish designer Arild Links. The result is the ”Non-Violence Bangle”, a bracelet made of Humanium metal. The Non-Violence symbol, which is engraved on the bracelet, together with the Humanium Metal by IM, makes the bracelet a powerful statement against violence and illegal firearms.
The Swedish jewelry designer Arild Links in collaboration with Non-Violence, launches the Non-Violence Bangle made of Humanium, metal a new type of metal extracted from collected and destructed illegal firearms.
Each product sold with the Non-Violence symbol, the famous art piece by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd (the knotted revolver), finances education to people in the risk zone of picking up illegal weapons to resolve conflicts.
"Non-Violence and Humanium – the symbolism could not be better. In our quest to stem youth violence around the world, we are proud to join forces with Arild Links to be able to raise money for the implementation of our educational programs world-wide," says Jan Hellman, co-founder, The Non-Violence Project Foundation.
"We’re extremely proud of our jewels being able to link Non-Violence with Humanium Metal. The partnership is a perfect match and addresses the fact that every minute a person is shot. The ”Non-Violence Bangle” address both the supply of illegal weapons as well as the demand/need to use an illegal weapon", says Håkan Orrling, Chief Designer and co-founder of Arild Links AB
