Since the beginning of our story, we have been thinking about the necessity of having an ajustable chain lock on our necklaces and pendants. In the case of a pendant on a chain, it is a matter of aesthetics as to how you want to wear your favourite piece – tighter to your neck or closer to the decolatte. It is different and more critical in the case of a necklace as it could turn out to be too big or, the opposite, be so small that you couldn`t easily fasten it.
Leta’s Adjustable Chain Lock for Necklaces and Pendants
As has often been the case, a simple idea has turned out to be difficult to realize. It took us about six months to create a lock which we were happy with. A product that would meet our quality requirements and that would look exactly how we wanted it to had to be handmade. The first drafts were sent to production team where the possibility of connecting the ring to the chain were estimated. The chain itself was to be chosen there, too. During those processes two medallions were added to the lock. One of them is round in shape with our logo on the front side and a platemark on the back side. The other one is elliptical in shape with “Leta” written on one side, whilst the second side is left blank for future engraving.
Starting from today all our necklaces and charms are going to be shipped to customers with a new three sizes lock. We are sure that you are going to like and enjoy this little innovation :-)
Currently there are no more than two hundred Baltic ringed seals in the Gulf of Finland, and forty years ago the region was inhabited by several thousand species. The subspecies are on the brink of extinction, and if we don’t take urgent measures, these rare sea mammals will disappear from the Gulf of Finland. Our charity project along with the Friends of the Baltic Seal is a great chance to tell about the existing problem and possible ways to solve it.
Last Friday we hosted a presentation of our current collection Modernism and also an opening of our first showroom at Roden Manor. It felt cozy and friendly that evening. We talked about the history of Leta and the creation of our collection, also received warm feedback from our beloved guests and shared our plans. Now you can visit our showroom at Kitay-Gorod and try on all your favorite items.
Modernism is a kind of mix of art deco architecture, constructivism and avant-garde painting, transferred to our pieces. Developing took about six months, and it was a complicated but very interesting process – first sketches, close interaction with jewelers, understanding all those uneasy specifics of working with amber, also selection of suitable stones and materials.
A talented photographer Lucy Zharikova went to Yantarny this summer to create an atmospheric shoot on the Baltic Coast for Ambery. Inspired by the cold sea, fresh wind and natural textures, such as wood and smoky pebbles, Lucy subtly conveyed everything that we appreciate so much in our jewelry – simple and adjusted forms and natural beauty of amber.
Adjustable chain lock is now a part of all Leta’s pendants and necklaces
