A rare bird in the world of jewellery design, Leblas combines traditional techniques, modern design and sustainable practices in the creation of its beautifully made selection of rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and specially commissioned pieces. Leblas' first store opened in London's exclusive Sloane Street in May 2009.

Leblas won the Coutts New Jeweller Award for 2009 as part of Coutts London Jewellery Week. 

THE BACKGROUND

The creative brain behind the business is award-winning designer, Arabel Lebrusan, who uses artisans throughout Spain to achieve a high level of perfected craftsmanship across the range. She started the business in 2007 with Clare Winfield: having both worked intensively in the Far East over the last ten years, they shared an enthusiasm for creating design-led jewellery in a way that was comfortable and sustainable for the workers and which revitalised traditional European techniques. Leblas aims to establish an apprenticeship scheme that will allow the transfer of jewellery-making skills to the next generation before they die out completely, and from this noble goal, we can all benefit.

THE COLLECTION

Leblas offers a wide selection of sterling silver jewellery,  18 carat yellow gold jewellery and exceptional precious and diamond set jewellery. The Rosette collection is inspired by traditional filigree motifs, with fine detailed layers of white silver petals. Meanwhile the Lace Sphere uses the traditional decorative filigree motif. The Harlequin collection is a beautiful combination of semi precious stones. The Filigree links collection, entirely handmade, is inspired by the intricate forms of Eastern Spain's traditional art and is a highly prized addition to that jewellery box.

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK

While it is interesting to look through each of the collections, if you are looking for something in particular, you are best searching via product, or indeed price, if you are on a budget. By clicking on a product and the two additional images beneath it, you can zoom in to get a better look at the astonishing detail present in so many of the fine designs.

Leblas also offers a bespoke service if you want to create something unique.

Don't forget to check out the limited edition range for the real top drawer, all out bling rings. If you are worried about making a wrong choice, which is difficult as it's all rather desirable, there are also gift vouchers.
