Today, at the midpoint of the fall, we are pleased to show you our next collection. For the first time in the history of Leta, it is made of gold. Una is the contemporary heritage of Malevich. The items of the collection recreate Malevich’s recognizable suprematist compositions.

Una Gold Earrings with Red Onyx and Blue Sodalite
There is no storyline or imagery in them since within the philosophy of suprematism color is purely a medium of emotions and concepts, free from any other role. This idea became the founding principle for an avant-garde artistic group UNOVIS. Artist’s daughter, Una Malevich, was called after it, and 80 years later we named our collection the same.

As always, we do all we can to preserve the natural world. All of the materials for Una collection were mined and processed in a responsible way so the damage to ecosystem is minimised.

“I have always loved colors and their multiple shades. Being an architect, I also appreciate simple shapes that a future piece of jewelry can be composed of.
The Una collection began with sketching out color spots on paper, and as it often happens with a new collection on the way, the process was completely unconscious. My goal was to have bright colored stones in focus, noticeable and self-contained. There was also this wish to use some shapes that are new to us — elongated cylinders and round thin blades. We were going through dozens of stones every day and finally settled on the red onyx, deep blue sodalite with thin white inclusions and sky-blue quartz. We decided to have this collection in yellow gold — weightless chains and thin line details subtly highlighted the beauty of the stones.
This is how Una was created — brave, driven by the impulse of love for color and energy it brings.”
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.
Today we launch our new collection – ROMA. This one became a modern interpretation of ancient Roman architecture. Its principal motives – narrow windows, semi-circular arches, clear symmetry of columns and oculi in the domes of cathedrals – are expressed in the pieces of this collection.
In our collections we mainly focused on amber, but we feel that in the future we definitely would like to try new ideas and combinations. Amber will still remain the cornerstone of our jewelry story, but today it will have a new name, not limited to its «amber» side. Leta is the same jewelry pieces with an architectural history, the same neat style and the same impeccable service, the same website and the same best team in the world. But with a new name.
Last summer we launched Leta FM to share compilations of our favorite music that was playing in our showroom in Moscow. Since then, the project has grown and become less formal at the same time. Together with original mixes being released once per season, we decided to share with you any music that inspires us.
