Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Dear Customer, For centuries knowledge and wisdom has been passed from generation to generation. There is a context and expression in every meal, building design, piece of music or clothing tradition throughout the world. From the architectural details in laterite material used to create the native Angkor temples in Cambodia to the sacred tree of the Maya – kapok – surrounding the ruins of Tikal in Guatemala: traditions find varied ways to express and communicate a special story or a message long after they were created. From my travels I’ve found such experiences connecting, influencing and inspiring my designs, and emerging as themes in the collections.

The past would be empty, the dry accumulation of facts historians discuss, if it wasn’t for the gathering of stories, traditions and beliefs that create the understanding of a greater history. It’s this influence, a tradition that connects an individual to a greater story, which inspires my designs.

It has always been a passion of mine to create jewellery that not only reflects a rich heritage, but will also connect with people and become a part of their personal story. The recognition of an achievement, a gift between lovers, a memento from a journey – jewelry carries passionate stories and memories. It marks time. At the LAGOS design studio, we are serious and take pride in our unsurpassed attention to detail. From the initial design and modeling, to production and its finished form – every piece we create is significant. The result is a timeless handcrafted entry into your personal jewellery journal.

We are proud of the new and inventive series that have been added to our offerings as well as our award winning selections. On behalf of everyone at LAGOS, we hope you enjoy sharing and selling each piece as much as we have in creating it. Show your passion.

Several features can be found this season that are meant to develop a greater understanding of the background story behind our collections. From the Paisley detailing on each LAGOS Chain necklace to the latest collection of Passion Rings, each subject is explored and explained so you can pass along the Lore to each customer. We strive to deliver uncompromised artisanship and a passion for jewellery – we hope these features help you have a greater understanding and knowledge of each piece.

Thank you for all your continued support and partnership with LAGOS.

A NEW SIGNATURE COLLECTION WITH LURE

This season’s fashion essentials have arrived, and it’s certainly not more of the same old, same old – designers are putting

creativity first and giving everyone a reason to invigorate their wardrobes. With inspiration from the past, the runways of Paris and Milan are presenting bold patterns, modern shapes and audacious styling as fashion designers reach for daring statement collections and fresh perspectives. Silhouettes of luxuriously draped goddess dresses, feminine details of lace-trimmed coats, chic satin flourishes, and audacious metal detailing are all drawn from the inspiration of decades past for a reinterpretation into strong statement pieces this season.

Bold details add interest and edge to the latest designs, and accessories are certainly reflecting these sentiments of daring style.

With this in mind, designer Steven Lagos drew upon the 1920s – a time of development and change, speakeasies and fashion – for his inspiration to create the bold, artistic Passion rings. American style of this era is known for an essence of versatility and development, together with the concept of a fusion of structural elegance and a captivating feminine design. LAGOS embraces this spirit with the contemporary reinterpretation of the Passion rings. This meticulously crafted line features new 18K gold sparkle Caviar™ beading with contrasting smooth sterling silver and highlighted with bold gemstones. An Amethyst, Blue Topaz, Citrine, Green Quartz, Smokey Quartz, or White Topaz faceted gemstone is surrounded by 18K gold beading on a highly polished sterling silver band detailing the LAGOS logo. The Passion rings deliver impact and style as the must have signature piece for the season.

Passion Rings Amethyst The ancient world prized amethyst stones for their mystical healing powers and protective spirit against affliction. In modern times the deep hues and intricate facets in each gemstone have given the rich shades of amethyst a new meaning of mystery and refined renewal. Promoting a sense of peace and prosperity, LAGOS utilizes amethyst as a visually rich accent to its designs, together with the traditional motif of enigmatic protection for the wearer.

Trust, grace, allure – all these words have been used to describe this mesmerizing stone. The people of diverse continents, from South America to Africa to Australia, have perceived a quality of depth in this stone; variously believing that blue topaz increases charisma and confidence, as well as attracting the crystalline exhilaration of love. The rich hues and sparkling facets of blue topaz represent the colour of the sea, and it is said to contain the depth of energy and power of the ocean as well as bringing the peaceful cyclical effects of tides.

During Renaissance times citrine was chosen as the gemstone for artists, musicians and writers, believing it brought an intense clarity of thought, creativity and openness to new ideas. The warm auburn hues and radiant facets of the stone were thought to be a reflection of the brightness of the sun. Just as the sun, citrine was said to be a fountain of joy and optimism, as well as prosperity and positive success.

Lore White Topaz 02-80320-FF7 $795

White topaz represents beauty, purity, insight and poise – the best in each of us. The word topaz derives from ancient Greek, much like the LAGOS name, and it is named after Topazios, or as it is now known, St. John’s Island in the Red Sea. The brilliant facets and illuminating properties in this gemstone bring clarity and embody harmony; reflecting the crystalline purity of the waters around the once-submerged island. Captivating with a diamond-like quality, white topaz is the first choice of designer Steven Lagos when creating a radiantly beautiful design.

Green Quartz 02-80320-GQF7 $795

Green quartz represents a healing effect, clarity and joyfulness about life.

Ancient Egyptians named this gemstone “Merkaba”. The word is broken down into syllables from its ancient hieroglyphs: “Mer” - fields of light, “ka” - spirit and “ba” - soul. This civilization believed the gemstone to have the power for its wearer to achieve a healing transformation on all levels of existence. With its mysterious allure and spellbinding shades, green quartz inspires the wearer’s spirit to experience life to its fullest level of joy.

Smokey Quartz 02-80320-STF7 $795

Australian Aborigines have cherished the smokey quartz stone for centuries, believing it promotes a mystical harmony with nature and the universe.

Reserving ownership of the deep brown stone to tribal leaders and spiritual healers, smokey quartz was utilized to re-energize the body and to bring a clear mindfulness to the wearer or the person being healed. The facets reflect warm amber and sienna hues, giving this gemstone as ethereal a life as it is beautiful.

Lore

The radiant exuberance of diamonds is unsurpassed in nature. The word diamond derives from the ancient Greek word “Adamas�, meaning indestructible. This ancient civilization alternately thought diamonds were the gods’ hardened tears of tenderness or diminutive stars that had fallen to Earth in prehistory to spread love to humans. A symbol of courage, strength and incorruptibility, the crystalline sparkle of diamonds captivates the eye like no other substance on Earth. The only gem composed of a single element, Carbon, diamonds are believed to be at least one billion years old; not only giving this precious gem a quality of purity but also a history as eternal as the love they represent. A favorite accent of designer Steven Lagos, diamonds elevate each piece they adorn to an exuberance of spirit.

LAGOS carefully places diamonds in creations that will fashion a scintillating design in the same infinite, captivating and exquisite manner as the bright stars of their mythical origins.

Paisley

Recognized in Eastern traditions as a

symbol of protection and good fortune, the paisley was reinterpreted in modern culture as a statement of personal freedom. The paisley or ‘boteh’ motif, as the word derives from the Sanskrit language, was worn in the near East for centuries by travelers to invite the protection of kind spirits and woven into garments to attract prosperity and happiness.

The

counterculture

movements

of

the

mid-

twentieth century adopted the design to reference the freedom of expression and personal autonomy exalted in the traditions of the East.

Recently, the paisley has reemerged as a favorite design in the graphic arts; adorning everything from printed images to fabrics to wall coverings with its protective and unique silhouette.

Designer Steven Lagos chose this timeless symbol as a signature motif to honor this rich heritage. Featuring 18-karat fluted gold, our signature gold paisley merges the ancient meanings of protection with a modern, independent spirit.

COMPANY HISTORY Classic

signatures

of

sophistication,

distinction, and luxury have defined the awardwinning LAGOS Collections for more than thirty years. Designer Steven Lagos envisioned in 1977 an inventive standard for jewellery—a statement collection reflective of the modern lifestyle crafted with an uncompromised old-world attention to detail.

Today, LAGOS is world-renowned to be

one of the premier designer brands.

An ingenious concept developed into a LAGOS symbol in 1984 with the introduction of our dazzling Caviar™ Line.

These luminous sterling

silver pieces feature caviar-like beading accented by eighteen-karat gold, semi-precious stones, and diamonds. With its inception, this line evinced a new jewellery category; playing a significant role in defining the bridge jewellery movement.

Caviar™ is one of the best-selling fine jewellery collections in the country.

Located in historic Old City Philadelphia, the LAGOS Studio is dedicated to the design and manufacture of jewellery with the highest quality.

Using only the finest materials in the

world, authenticity is, has been, and will always be paramount for every LAGOS creation. Each

INSIDE THE LAGOS STUDIO

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 centuriesold 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 from manufacture defects.
