It's true that thanks to the digital age, geo-localization and smart phones will almost ensure you never get lost, but can those online maps make you look like a mysterious treasure hunter from a fantasy book? Ewelina Bocian's 'Oldies' collection of jewelry can.
Polish designer Ewelina Bocian created a line of 'Oldies' accessories, including rings, bracelets and brooches, out of the old industrial plans of Polish city streets. The carbon paper maps are folded into a miniature size and then mounted cleverly on brass bases. You can manipulate, open and review the maps on your jewelry whenever or however you want.
These vintage-looking technical and architectural drawings are bound to be the favorites of architecture and engineering students, fantasy book fans and Michael Scofield from Prison Break.
