Handcrafting jewelry process

Design & Crafted in Finand

At Helmia, jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a sculpture, a statement, a reflection of fearless individuality. Every piece is designed with intention, crafted with precision, and made to be worn for a lifetime. We merge traditional craftsmanship with modern artistry, using only the finest materials to create jewelry that redefines the power of pearls.

From Concept to Creation

Design: Where Art Meets Jewelry

Each Helmia piece begins as a bold vision—an exploration of form, texture, and balance. Inspired by modern art, organic structures, and sculptural elegance, our designs challenge convention while celebrating the natural beauty of pearls.

Sketch by sketch, shape by shape, we refine each creation—balancing fluidity and structure, minimalism and statement, heritage and innovation.

Selection: Curating Natural Beauty

Freshwater Pearls: Organic Elegance
Helmia’s jewelry celebrates the raw, natural beauty of freshwater pearls, each one uniquely shaped by nature. Cultivated in freshwater mussels, these pearls are known for their diverse forms, luminous glow, and remarkable resilience. Unlike saltwater pearls, they are often composed of solid nacre, enhancing their depth and durability. We embrace their individuality, carefully selecting different pearl types to give each design a distinctive character. No two pearls are alike—just as no two individuals express beauty the same way.

Precious Metals Only: Strength & Sophistication
Helmia is committed to crafting jewelry that stands the test of time. We use only solid white gold-plated 925 sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil, ensuring a perfect balance of luxury and longevity.

  • White Gold-Plated 925 Sterling Silver – A refined blend of durability and elegance. The base metal, 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper, offers strength and resilience, while the white gold plating enhances its brilliance and protects against tarnishing—delivering a luminous, high-shine finish.
  • 18k Gold Vermeil: Gilded Perfection – For those drawn to warmth and radiance, our 18k gold vermeil is the ultimate choice. Crafted with a solid sterling silver base and coated in a thick layer of 18k gold, it embodies the richness of fine gold jewelry while offering enhanced durability. This premium finish ensures a long-lasting, opulent glow.

Craftsmanship: The Art of Jewelry Making

Once the design is perfected, our artisan bring it to life using time-honored techniques. Each piece is cast, shaped, and polished by hand—preserving the integrity of the design while enhancing its sculptural beauty. The pearls are carefully set to highlight their natural form, allowing them to shine without excessive alteration.

Our craftsmanship is meticulous, ensuring that every detail—whether a smooth, organic curve or a bold, architectural edge—feels intentional, fluid, and striking.

The Final Touch: A Timeless Statement

Before leaving our hands, every piece undergoes a rigorous quality check to ensure perfection. The result? Jewelry that is bold yet effortless, refined yet unconventional—a testament to Helmia’s commitment to artistry and innovation.
