Every component matters. Every component has its function. Every component has considered proportions.
Our ethically sourced jewellery designs
Each LeiL jewellery piece is not only a kinder option to our planet by being 100% ethical, but has carefully considered dimensions, symmetry and proportions backed by proven design principles and built to withstand a lifetime of wear.
Our inspiration is not one-dimensional but multidisciplinary. We aim to celebrate the intersection between architecture and sustainable jewellery and how this can inform designs and processes.
The intention of each sustainably produced jewellery piece is to reimagine the conventional idea of luxury by discarding the excess and celebrating materiality and structural integrity. We believe in the elegance of simplicity, timeless design and the beauty of form based on function.
We design not just to create a beautiful, ethical jewellery piece – but to complement the dynamic life lived around that product.
Our jewellery design process
The jewellery industry often has a reputation for failing to provide clarity about the process of jewellery making. At LeiL, we aim to change that, empowering you with the knowledge to make decisions on your purchases with conviction.
Our sustainable, ethical production methods draw on a revival of forgotten knowledge. We fuse traditional methods with the latest advances in prefabricated technology including lab-grown and sustainably sourced diamonds. Our unique method harnesses both technology and handmade craftsmanship in a way that allows for exceptional technical precision, allowing us to create a range of ethically sourced, sustainable jewellery pieces.
At LeiL, we cast our jewellery in two to three prefabricated sections, after which is assembled, set with lab-grown diamonds or sustainably sourced gemstones, engraved and polished all by hand. LeiL’s unique blended technique produces high quality, sustainable jewellery of the same quality as handmade pieces, yet in a more precise and timely manner.
Our method harnesses technology, an ethical approach and handmade craftsmanship in a way that allows for exceptional technical precision but the delivery of beautiful, sustainable jewellery pieces.
What is one-piece cast jewellery?
Creating one-piece cast jewellery is a highly automated process. While this automated process is faster, it does not allow a jeweller the opportunity to properly clean the jewellery pieces before assembling, and does not allow for attention to minor details.
The result is the production of jewellery with an unrefined appearance, particularly in areas where jewellers won’t be able to clean, such as underneath the diamond within the setting. It’s these fine details that will result in a difference in quality.
One-piece cast jewellery cannot achieve the same unique look and high-quality finish that can be achieved with either blended techniques or fully handmade pieces.
