Your Lebrusan Studio jewel is an heirloom that tells stories you can feel proud to pass from one generation to the next; a wearable vessel for social, political, environmental and economic change.

We're proud to feature regularly in Queen Letizia's wardrobe with our Filigree Heritage Jewels. It's been nearly a decade now that the Queen of Spain has been cycling our hand-crafted Spanish filigree bangles and we love this approach to enjoying jewellery - choosing locally-crafted, symbolic pieces and championing them for years on end!
12 years ago, when Arabel Lebrusan closed the door on Leblas – the first ethical jewellery boutique on London’s esteemed Sloane Street – she knew she was just getting started. Fuelled by eye-opening experiences as an international jewellery designer, an MA in sustainable design, a Gemmology degree and a passion for jewellery as an active tool for change, she founded Lebrusan Studio.
As well as an award-winning jewellery designer, Arabel is a visual artist whose practice often treads the line between art and jewellery. While her one-of-a-kind art jewels are conceived as artistic responses to social injustices and ecological concerns, the heirlooms she designs under Lebrusan Studio are wearable symbols of hope, telling stories of beautiful precious materials, traditional craftsmanship, and the milestones of the wearer's life. Arabel completed her second MA - Sculpture - at the Royal College of Art in 2023.
Lebrusan Studio originated in 2012 as an online business with a small but loyal clientele. Today, we're decorated with accolades, widely considered a spearhead of the ethical jewellery movement. Though proud of our leading role – earned through tireless campaigning, questioning, charity work and storytelling – we remain grounded in our original principles of approachability, young spirit, and an ongoing willingness to evolve. Climate justice and socioeconomic reparations remain at the heart of everything we do.
