Based in Berlin, designer and founder LEONIE MATHILDE EBERLIN whose star sign is Leo has been nicknamed Leo since she was born. The love of stones began at an early age when Leo was working for a jeweller while still attending school. Thirsty for knowledge, she picked up all the essentials about jewellery, travelled to the Italian city of Vicenza by herself, and designed her first collection. After finishing her studies, she started her career in the real estate business, but remained passionate about jewellery and continued to create pieces for her friends and family. Nine years later, as a socialite and a businesswoman, Leo felt ready to commit herself fully to her jewellery line. Being a perfectionist, Leo travelled to different countries for over a year looking for a manufacturer to match her expectations in terms of both quality and finish to launch her label, LEO MATHILD.
“I loved the word Mathild because Mathild means power, and I believe in the power of stones. Furthermore Mathilde is my second name, and this gives everything a very personal and special meaning.”
Focusing primarily on a women’s collection, our aim is to create statement jewellery that underlines a woman’s individual personality because I believe that beauty is about charisma and self-confidence. Using authentic gemstones, high-quality handsetting techniques and special plating, customers are able to trust LEO MATHILD creations to have the same quality as renowned brands. "Contrasts create beauty – I like mixing classic modern with contemporary styles. I admire classy cosmopolitan women, Art Deco and architecture, all of which are my major inspirations. I am still wearing pieces that I created many years ago, reminding me and bringing me back to what I always knew I wanted to do. Creating jewellery is a part of my personality, it’s what my heart wants to do.”
