Based in London, Leto started creating jewellery in 2017 from a deep love for colour, arts, ancient history, mythology, individuality, originality and craftsmanship. Each jewellery piece is One - Of - A - Kind and meant to be cherished for generations.
Leto Lama is a passionate third generational artist and goldsmith with Greek, Tibetan heritage that lives in London. She creates handmade jewelry with precious and semi-precious stones, using traditional techniques such as drawing, melting gold dust and scrap metal, and the ancient lost wax method.
With a passion for preserving traditional techniques, Leto incorporates various methods in crafting the jewelry collections. These include sketching the initial design on paper or directly on metal or wax, shaping them and casting them into an initial model. The piece is then meticulously soldered, cleaned, polished, and textured using hammers or other tools. Finally, the stones are set, and the polish is perfected.
Leto's London studio is where the enchantment unfolds, as she does every aspect of the jewelry-making - stone setting - polishing from start to finish. Only a select few designs are chosen to be transformed into finished pieces, resulting in a highly limited number of creations each year. This meticulous approach ensures that each piece is crafted with utmost care and attention to detail, making them truly unique and exclusive and a great addition to a jewellery collection.
Commited to sustainability, the entire collection utilizes precious recycled metals such as 18K and 14K gold, platinum, and responsibly sourced natural precious stones like Emeralds, Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Paraiba Tourmalines. Additionally, we also incorporate semi-precious stones such as Tourmalines, Amethysts, Moonstones, Aquamarines, Opals, Tanzanites, and more.
We offer bespoke jewelry pieces tailored to weddings, anniversaries, push gifts, and other special occasions. When commissions are open, the average production time for bespoke pieces is 3-4 weeks.
