Saught create pieces of jewellery made from discarded weapons and gather materials from a Cambodian landmine. Inspired by watching local people of Laos make cutlery out of war remnants, the co-founders of Saught (Pamela Yeo, Ng Sook Zhen and Adeline Heng) joined forces with non profit organisations to buy scrap metal and train local Cambodian people to turn it into beautiful pieces of jewellery.
