Brendemo Gull & Sølv: Family-run goldsmith offering handcrafted, traditional pieces

Based in the quiet village of Heddal in the historical region of Telemark, Brendemo Gull & Sølv produces handmade jewellery with a special focus on traditional bunad accessories. A profound respect and appreciation for the craft traditions of the area is at the heart of the family-run business.

Brendemo Gull & Sølv offers a wide range of beautiful jewellery, all handmade and manufactured on the premises. Its main focus is accessories related to the bunad, Norway’s national costume. There are around 450 distinctive designs across the country, and these regional garments are decorated with bunadsølv –silver or gold jewellery made with different techniques according to the region.

Bunad hats can be personalised with different designs and accessories.

Since establishing the business in 1998, Ivar Brendemo has run it with his daughters, Linda and Camilla. Telemark has a rich history and culture, and the family of goldsmiths is committed to honouring the proud traditions of the area. “We value our heritage deeply and tradition is at the heart of everything we do,” says Linda.

While tradition must be respected, the family also values creativity in their work, including a range of stunning jewellery designs as well as high-quality bunad hats. “There’s a lot of interest in bunad accessories and other handcrafted jewellery,” says Linda. “People appreciate being able to choose or make their own designs, and we love making unique pieces.”

Alongside the self-developed designs, the family creates custom pieces as well as repairing and engraving jewellery. Brendemo Gull & Sølv delivers almost anywhere in the world.

Eventyrserien is a collection of jewellery pieces and traditional søljer in 925 sterling silver with a layer of 585 gold.
