The story about Lea Hoyer
Lea Hoyer Jewellery was founded in 2017 as a hobby project alongside Lea's studies as a fashion designer. Leas interest in organic jewellery was big right from the start, and soon Lea went from being a full-time student to becoming an independent jewellery designer.
It all started when Lea took a jewellery course where she learned the basic techniques of goldsmithing. The course is the only one Lea has attended, and she is not a trained goldsmith but has simply learned the necessary techniques as the demand for her jewellery increased. Today, Lea Hoyer is a self-taught jewellery designer and designs all collections in her showroom in Aarhus, along with custom orders from customers.
At Lea Hoyer Jewellery, we focus on good craftsmanship, long-lasting designs, and quality. Lea Hoyer believes that jewellery is the perfect way to mark and remember special occasions or persons, and she always strives to create jewellery that is wearable for generations to come.
When Lea started her online sales back in 2017, she produced everything herself, but as the business began to gain retailers, she could no longer keep up with the demand and had to find production. It was important for Lea to find a production that had the same values and views on sustainability, responsible production, and good working conditions.
The production
All Lea Hoyer jewellery is produced in an ISO 9001:2000 certified factory in Thailand by quality-conscious employees. The factory has a strong focus on the working environment, sustainability, and recycling.
It is important for Lea to have a close relationship with the factory and therefore Lea tries to visit the factory regularly, both to closely monitor the production process and to build a good relationship with the employees.
It is crucial for Lea to work with the best materials, and this is exactly what the production in Thailand provides. More than 90% of our gold comes from recycled sources, with the balance ultimately sourced from ethical miners whose extraction methods and labor practices are regulated, so they never willfully put workers in danger and therefore never use mercury amalgamation extraction methods. Additionally, all diamonds supplied by us are exclusively of natural origin and are untreated. All diamonds come from responsible sources and are not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with relevant UN resolutions.
At Lea Hoyer Jewellery, all silver pieces are made of 925 sterling silver, and our gold-plated jewellery is 925 sterling silver layered with a five-layered gilding in 22 carats.
We are very proud of the product and the quality we offer our customers.
