In the twenty-first century, the Lagos jewelry brand’s items are available in over 300 retailers across the United States, including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and many more. The brand’s flagship boutique has been open in Philadelphia since 1994. We will tell you more about the company’s founder’s life path, values and achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it all began<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Steven Lagos is a jewelry maker who learned this fine craft on his own. He specializes in the finest materials, including 18-karat gold, sterling silver and precious stones. In his perspective, women’s jewelry is a very personal product, with each piece having its own meaning and reminding of major life events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Steven himself, he recognized from a young age that he wanted to connect his life with creativity. In his adolescence, he experimented with a variety of creative forms and areas until he discovered jewelry making. The young man saw a free niche in the fine jewelry market and decided to launch his own brand aimed particularly at women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he was 17 years old, Steven met a Russian jeweler, and under his guidance, he learned how to make numerous jewelry items as well as the basic principles of jewelry making. According to his memoirs, during the time, he had the opportunity to learn “the lessons of old world craftsmanship” and comprehend why it is worth working solely with high-quality materials, how to distinguish them and how to make exquisite jewelry from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after starting his own production, Steven opened a small store. At the same time, he continued to learn from professional jewelers in Philadelphia<\/a>. The young man was fortunate to find excellent mentors, under whose guidance he practiced the necessary skills and techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first high-end department store that Lagos sold his items to was Nan Duskin. Later, he contacted Neiman Marcus, but was initially denied cooperation. However, a year later, while developing the “Bridge Jewelry” category, they remembered the young jeweler and offered him an opportunity to participate. Steven’s items were a fantastic fit for this concept. Thus began the cooperation, which is still ongoing today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steven established his own company, Lagos, in 1977. The man was only 20 years old, but entrepreneurial enthusiasm and drive fueled him, so he had no doubts about his future success. His brand has started a trend towards the availability of exquisite jewelry that is suitable for any occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development of the brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since its foundation, Steven Lagos’ jewelry brand has produced more than two million pieces of jewelry. According to the founder himself himself, he made 10,000 products and created up to 500 new designs every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1984, he created Caviar, a textured sterling silver that became one of his most successful items. Steven came up with the notion while working with hematite, which has a similar structure. Since then, this texture has appeared in the majority of the brand’s products and has become a kind of business card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that innovation is central to Steven Lagos’ work. Steven Lagos is known for creating unique interpretations of his corporate design almost every season, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • a collection of jewelry ceramics with similar textures<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • the exclusive Caviar Gold collection for the brand’s 40th anniversary in 2017<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • one of the latest developments of the 2020s, Smart Caviar bracelet for Apple Watch, which cemented Steven Lagos’ status as an innovative jeweler and attracted even more attention to the brand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, Steven Lagos’ activities are centered on the constant development and creation of new items. He has a distinctive style and at the same time continues surprising customers with unusual designs and unique products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As Steven Lagos points out, he has experienced both ups and downs in his more than 40 years in the jewelry business. His inspiration remains the woman he imagines wearing his jewelry: confident, elegant and stylish. Additionally, while traveling in Asia and Europe, he finds inspiration in art, culture and historical sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is important for Lagos to produce jewelry that allows women to express their individuality. That is why the brand’s tagline is “MY LAGOS MY WAY,” equivalent to my jewelry is my way. Steven believes that it is important for each woman to discover her own style and tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The combination of sterling silver and 18-karat gold in the brand’s jewelry has proven to be one of the jeweler’s most successful solutions. Customers were delighted with this collection. In the 2020s, the brand operates as an online store and is represented in more than 300 stores in the United States. Its annual sales total more than 300,000 pieces of jewelry, and this figure is growing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
