LedaOtto: A Tuscan Tale of Heritage & Avant-Garde Jewelry
The Genesis: When Two Grandmothers Inspired a Brand
Founded in 2010 by Simona Cassai (Leda) and Marta Saletti (Otto), LedaOtto is a jewelry brand born from Tuscan roots, Milanese design flair, and a shared obsession with global subcultures. Named after their grandmothers, the duo merges Otto’s sensitivity with Leda’s boldness, creating pieces that are equal parts poetic and provocative.
The Aesthetic: "Made in Italy" Meets Global Edge
Materials: Sterling silver, gold plating, and unconventional textures
Design ethos: Architectural shapes infused with art-world rebellion
Certification: Proudly Made in Italy, with each piece numbered for exclusivity

The LedaOtto Woman
She’s:
Unapologetically original (“No trends—just instinct”)
Cultured but rebellious (“She’d wear our cuffs to a gallery or a rave”)
A citizen of the world (“Her passport is as layered as her jewelry stack”)
Why LedaOtto Stands Out
Narrative-driven design: Every piece whispers Tuscan sunsets or Tokyo neon.
Art-first mentality: Jewelry as wearable gallery pieces.
Friendship-fueled creativity: “We’re opposites—that’s our power.”

LedaOtto proves that the future of jewelry lies in honoring heritage while rewriting its rules. For those who wear their curiosity on their sleeves—and their collarbones.
