Little Gems

Kaja Gjedebo is a jewellery designer in Oslo who creates wonderful three dimensional cufflinks, bracelets and pendants. They are made from silver and resin, and contain old stamps, telegrams, tickets, cigar labels, old postcards and other bits of ephemera. Each piece is beautifully unique and she will custom design items with your own pictures and text inside!
