Leto Lama Empress of Hearts 18 Ct Gold Sapphires and Diamonds Cigar Ring

Leto Lama is a third generation artist based in London and a jewellery maker - goldsmith . She creates One-Of-A-Kind fine jewellery 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 Atelier 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 as well as non precious stones.
