About

Lola Martin

Passionate jewelry artisan since 2017, I have obtained several diplomas in jewelry making, goldsmithing, and stone setting, which allow me to craft each piece from start to finish. All my training was completed through apprenticeship at the Saumur Institute of Jewelry, an experience that instilled in me a deep love for the craft and the rigor of artisanal know-how.

I also hold a professional gemology diploma, which enables me to carefully select each stone used in my creations or in the design of your custom jewelry.

I work with precious metals and natural gemstones, exclusively by hand, using traditional artisanal methods, in my French workshop, without relying on computer-aided design (CAD). My goal is to sell more than jewelry: poetic stories that evoke emotions and introduce you to extraordinary gemstones.

Heleades

The name Heleades refers to water nymphs and marsh spirits, mythological figures that protect wetlands, fauna, and surrounding flora. These benevolent spirits perfectly embody the fragile balance and mysterious beauty of aquatic nature.

My creations draw inspiration from this same harmony between fauna, flora, and emotions. Each Héléades piece is conceived as a poetic, elegant creation that evokes sensitive and natural stories, reflecting the water nymphs who care for their environment with delicacy.

This choice of name thus reflects the essence of my work: unique artisanal creations, rooted in natural beauty and the timeless poetry of the living world.

My logo represents a water nymph, half-woman, half-jellyfish, in white gold, rose gold, enamel, and opal. I designed it myself and also created it as a jewelry piece in silver Heleades.
