FALL
2008
A Letter from Steven Lagos Last August, we announced the celebration of our 30th Anniversary. It was around this same time that I was in search of the perfect gift to commemorate it. In the heart of the Fashion District, perched 24 floors above a bustling 7th Avenue, I found exactly what I was looking for.
I entered a lobby lined in marble and gilded with Art Deco detail as far as the eye could see. The elevators were equally beautiful and a testament to enduring craftsmanship. I had seen more than twenty spaces, but as I traveled upward, I thought to myself, “This must be it.” And behind two thick glass doors, I discovered that I was right. It was this very moment that marked the beginning of LAGOS New York.
For my incredible staff, it is a showroom, offering the opportunity to give personalized attention to each of our partner-clients and present the newest collections. But for me, it is more than this. LAGOS New York represents an arrival more than 30 years in the making and the beginning of a new chapter.
To celebrate, I created three new collections inspired by this amazing city: Tribeca, Washington Square and Columbus Circle. Each one has been refined to reflect the style, energy and architecture of New York. In a city where perfection is pinnacle, these pieces offer the same lasting beauty and attention to detail that has built the LAGOS name. This also marks the introduction of Caviar Luxe™. A natural extension of our most celebrated collection, our signature Caviar™ beading has been reformed to be more delicate, more refined. It’s a new take on a classic, the reinvention of a familiar favorite, and proof that tradition never goes out of style.
Someone said to me recently that authenticity is the new trend. That people are demanding something that is genuine, well-made and will retain its value over time. New? Certainly not to me. Not to my atelier in Philadelphia where more than 50 artisans craft the jewelry that bears my name. Not to my loyal customers who have supported me for more than 30 years. And not to the amazing city that is New York. For us, authenticity is everything. I hope you enjoy our Fall 2008 Collection and wish you the very best.

Bracelets
The bracelet marks the very beginnings of the LAGOS name. Designer Steven Lagos’ first crafted pieces were formed from intricate antique spoons fit perfectly to compliment a wrist. Today, his expertise and those of the artisans at his atelier in Philadelphia have mastered the form.
One of the brand’s premier pieces, Caviar Wide Bracelet, is comprised of more than 75 pieces. This bracelet has countless individual sterling silver beads lining the exterior, with a rich herringbone interior, finished with a dual release clasp. Its brilliant shape and enduring style can only be matched by its comfort. For each collection, bracelets are designed with these three qualities in mind — fit, style and comfort. The Diamond and Caviar™ Collection brings decadence into the day-to-day, with sterling silver Caviar™ beading and pavé diamonds set in 18-karat gold that can be worn alone or as a set. Offering the same versatility and history, the Glacier Now collection can be paired seasonally in a myriad of colored-gemstone favorites including Smokey Quartz, White Topaz, and Citrine. Bracelets are part of the LAGOS heritage. It’s recognized in the carved detail of our Bold Gold Cuff, captured by the rich texture of the Fluted Silver Link Bracelet, and celebrated in the whimsy of everyone’s favorite— the Heart Toggle Bracelet. At LAGOS we believe there is a piece of lasting beauty designed for every wrist, tailored to every taste.

Glacier gemstones have always been a part of the LAGOS tradition. These beautifully carved stones, set in rich sterling silver or 18-karat gold, are the focal point of the Glacier Now, Glacier Classic and Glacier Luxe collections. For Fall 2008 the focus is on White Topaz, Smokey Quartz, and a warm Citrine. These gemstones capture a warm radiance with cool undertones, indicative of the season itself. Topaz is the first choice of designer Steven Lagos. A brand staple, the word Topaz is derived from ancient Greek, much like the LAGOS name. Its name is derived from Topazios, or St. John’s Island, located in the Red Sea. The once-submerged island is comparable to the unpolished stone itself. The gemstone forms as crystals rising from granite. Untinted and free from impurities White Topaz is completely translucent, giving it its diamond-like quality. Smokey Quartz is equally captivating. Cherished by the Australian Aborigines for its mystical properties, it’s believed to energize the body and give great clarity. The positive nature of this mineral can only be matched by its beauty. The deep brown reflects facets of light giving it its amber and golden hues.
Between these two extremes of translucent clarity and rich auburn depth lies Citrine. Derived from the Quartz family, it’s believed to be the stone of success, reflecting both creativity and prosperity. Its golden hue offers a warmth and brightness comparable to the sun itself; perhaps an indication as to why it’s said to bring joy and optimism to the lives of those who wear it.
Each stone is expertly carved to bring out its inherent beauty. Every facet has been perfected to accentuate its brilliance, allowing light to reflect through it to bring out optimal depth and sparkle. These semi-precious gems are then polished to a high shine to show their true luster, making them the focal point of every LAGOS Glacier piece.

WASHINGTON SQUARE Offering art deco sensibility with a modern twist, this collection celebrates both artisans and socialites alike. In this area, where Fifth Avenue chic meets downtown cool, designer Steven Lagos was inspired to create designs featuring exquisite diamonds set in simple square inlays of 18-karat gold. TRIBECA With all of its splendid angles and rich detail, the Tribeca Collection honors the area of New York City where a bohemian living meets uncompromising taste. After opening the LAGOS New York showroom, designer Steven Lagos drew on the architectural lines of the city to create this collection. ARCADIAN MIST The epitome of opulence, this collection honors Arcadia, the region of Greece where Zeus was said to be born. Described as an idyllic paradise where simplicity reigned, the Arcadian Mist collection features diamonds set in white gold and sterling silver to accentuate their natural brilliance.
PAVÉ LUXE Adhering to the belief that you can never have too much of a good thing, the Pavé Luxe collection is all about sparkle. Encrusted in diamonds, each piece takes on a scintillating quality allowing light to reflect a luxurious indulgence. CLASSIC KNOT PAVÉ A knot is a symbol of a promise, a unifying bond that cannot be broken. In this collection, that promise is elevated. The word diamond comes from the Greek 'Adamas', meaning unconquerable. For the Classic Knot Pavé pieces, the two meanings merge to create lasting designs that reflect strength and grace.
DIAMONDS AND CAVIAR A play on the scintillating quality of Caviar™ beading, the Diamond & Caviar collection features stunning diamonds set in 18-karat gold. A testament to bridge jewellery at its very best, the collection marks the long-time desire of designer Steven Lagos to make his signature Caviar™ even more exquisite.
CIRCLE GAME As a symbol, the circle represents perfection and infinite possibility. As one of the brand's most celebrated collections, Circle Game features diamonds and 18-karat gold. Rich details make each piece unique, with accents including Caviar™ beading, gold stations, and fluted silver.

GLACIER LUXE Featuring gemstones set in rich 18-karat gold and diamond pavé, Glacier Luxe is a twist on the Classic collection. Inspired by the importance of his own family heirlooms, designer Steven Lagos set out to create pieces that would bring decadence into the every day, while holding true to a traditional motif.
GLACIER NOW With soft sterling silver edging, the Glacier Now collection epitomizes understated elegance. Inspired by the classic Grecian columns common to Olde City Philadelphia, smooth lines of silver are capped with tufts of 18-karat gold and Caviar™ beading, putting each polished gem on its very own pedestal. GLACIER CLASSIC As a young boy, designer Steven Lagos would often marvel at his Grandmother's rings. Decades later, he recalled this traditional motif, modernizing it to create the Glacier Classic collection. Designed for the quintessential lady with refined taste, each piece features accents of LAGOS signature Caviar™.

COLUMBUS CIRCLE Inspired by the center point where the architectural and the natural collide, designer Steven Lagos created the Columbus Circle collection. With a natural shape and structural precision each design features gleaming orbs of rich, sterling silver Caviar™, and some accented with 18-karat gold. CAVIAR BASIC The foundation of the LAGOS name, the Caviar Basic collection features Caviar™ beading intricately woven into a torsade de points. The French term literally means a "twisting of points" taking small spheres of sterling silver and giving them infinite sparkle and shine.
LINK Expanding upon the Caviar™ tradition, this collection features high polished links fashioned together with rich beaded detail. Inspired by this new shape, designer Steven Lagos uses his signatures of sterling silver, 18-karat gold, beveling and custom clasps as beautiful as the pieces themselves. CLASSIC KNOT The knot represents a bond or promise that cannot be broken. In this collection, the symbol is captured with beveled ribbons of 18-karat gold. Set in brilliant sterling silver, each piece has been expertly crafted to have enduring beauty and lasting shine. BOLD GOLD Featuring 18-karat fluted gold, this collection calls upon one of the oldest jewellery making traditions to give it contemporary feel. The fluted gold, often seen in early Egyptian jewellery, showcases LAGOS craftsmanship at its very finest with rich polished detail present in every piece.

I NSIDE
THE
S TUDIOS
Set in Old City Philadelphia, the LAGOS Studio is a state-of-the-art atelier where old-world craftsmanship and modern innovation combine to create impeccable handcrafted jewellery. It is here that artisans craft architecturally inspired designs with intricate detail from the initial idea to the final polished piece. This unparalleled attention ensures that each and every creation is of the absolute highest quality, making it worthy of the LAGOS name. The artistry behind each design is best captured through the process itself. It begins, of course, with an idea. Designer Steven Lagos draws upon inspiration both past and present to develop concepts that are uniquely LAGOS. Once satisfied with his vision, Steven then shares it with a team of skilled model makers who bring the sketch to life. Using traditional hand carving techniques and modern computer aided design, three dimensional wax models are created. Once a wax model is complete, it is transformed into a metal model through the centuries-old lost-wax casting process, in which the wax model is encased in plaster and heated until the wax is melted away. Molten metal is poured into the remaining cavity in the plaster and cooled. The plaster is then washed away to reveal an exact metal copy of the wax. This metal model is carefully detailed by hand. Skilled craftspeople make certain that each style is crafted to exacting standards to ensure that each piece is both beautiful and comfortable. These perfected metal models become the master pattern. A rubber mold is made from that pattern in order to create multiple exact copies in wax. These duplicates are then taken through the lost-wax casting process to produce many individual metal castings. A piece of LAGOS jewellery can be comprised of numerous different castings, as well as other elements such as diamonds, gemstones, and pearls, and even subtle working parts like springs and chains. Every piece of LAGOS jewellery originates from these same perfected master models. These essential pieces are then given to a skilled jeweller whose job it is to take these individual component parts and, using the wealth of their knowledge and techniques, assemble them to construct the wonderful object that is a piece of LAGOS jewellery. Once assembled, sterling silver is oxidized to bring out the sculptural qualities of the jewellery and create the rich luster that is LAGOS’ signature finish. Once a piece has been oxidized, stones are set and the finished piece is given a final polish. A technical inspection ensures that every piece meets LAGOS’ high standards of excellence. It can take from twenty five to literally hundreds of individual steps to complete a single LAGOS creation. At LAGOS, this labouring process is borne from a passion for fine jewellery. Craftsmanship of this caliber requires years of experience and intense dedication. Each and every piece we create captures this commitment, and our name guarantees it for a lifetime.

CARING FOR All LAGOS Caviar products are handcrafted from 925 sterling silver and eighteen karat gold. As with all sterling silver, LAGOS silver will tarnish. With this in mind, LAGOS has taken significant steps to keep your jewellery looking new with minimum care. You will notice that all of the recessed areas on your piece are already dark. This is part of an antiquing process in which these recessed areas are oxidized and is a deliberate feature of the design. These darkened areas accentuate the design, giving the piece added dimension. To care for your product simply use the provided polishing cloth. The white inner cloth contains our unique formula of precious metal cleaning agents and applies an antitarnish barrier to your jewellery. The outer cloth gently polishes and buffs your piece, resulting in an unsurpassed luster. For optimum results, apply pressure as you gently rub the gold and silver with the white inner cloth. Notice that the tarnish is easily removed onto the cloth. This discoloration is normal and acceptable. Discoloration does not change the effectiveness of the cloth. Next, use the outer cloth to buff the piece to a higher luster. Please note: Do not use the inner white cloth to clean pearls, opal, coral, or other soft gemstones. The outer cloth is acceptable for cleaning all surfaces.
CAVIAR PRODUCTS DO
• Always keep your jewellery in the LAGOS pouch when not being worn.
• Frequently wipe your jewellery with the provided polishing cloth.
DO NOT
• Do not wear silver jewellery in the ocean-salt water as it speeds the
oxidation process and can cause jewellery to blacken more quickly. (This
will not affect the jewellery.) In the event
that blackening occurs, please return the item to your local area retailer for refinishing or email Customer Service at Service@LAGOS.com
• Do not use silver cleaner on LAGOS jewellery as it will remove all of the oxidation and leave the piece looking flat.
• Do not worry if you cannot restore your
piece to it’s original lustre. Any piece that cannot be cleaned at home to
your satisfaction can be returned to
LAGOS for refurbishing and in most cases can be made to look like new again.
Gemstone Care
Gemstones can get dirty. Often, soap and hand lotion can cover the gemstone with a film, dulling the luster. Gemstones can be cleaned using a slightly soapy solution (1 part Palmolive dishwashing liquid + 10 parts water). Dip your jewellery into this solution and scrub lightly using a soft toothbrush. Rinse under cool water and repeat as needed. Ultrasonic cleaning is also acceptable. LAGOS jewellery requires minimum care and will provide a lifetime of enjoyment.
