Our Story

Cyclades was founded in 2017 by London based third generation artist and designer Leto Lama.

Inspired by Ancient Greek History, Gods, Godesses, Titans, Fairies, Astrology and Nature, every creation is a wearable piece of art that is meant to be loved by its recipient for lifetimes.

Leto as a third generation artist and a goldsmith who embraces traditional and modern techniques to create the jewellery collections such as drawing, the ancient lost wax and sometimes upon the request of the client or specific pieces 3D modelling.

Jewellery Process

Leto sketches the intitial design either on paper or directly on wax which she will then give it a form and hand carving following the ancient lost wax technique in her London studio. The created model will be casted in Hatton Garden Foundries and once ready it will then be cleaned, add manually texture if required and undergo stone setting until it reaches it's final stage which is polishing.

Following British Traditions and as a registered jewellerer it will then be sent to the British Goldsmiths Assay Office for Hall Marking.

The One of a kind pieces are entirely made by hand and they have a free form, natural style full of character.

The entire collection is using precious recycled metals such as 18K, 14K gold, platinum and natural responsibly sourced precious and semi precious stones like Emeralds, Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Amethysts, Moonstones, Aquamarines, Opals, Tanzanites, Quartz etc
