LAGOS Jewelry, founded in 1977 by Steven Lagos, is known for its distinctive Caviar designs, introduced in 1984, which feature textured beading, and for blended fine jewelry with fashion. The brand, based in Philadelphia, has become iconic for its unique aesthetic and its ability to create pieces that are both luxurious and wearable. Lagos is one of the companies credited with creating a new category called “bridge jewelry”, that covers the gap between inexpensive “fashion” jewelry and expensive high-end fine jewelry. Steven’s daughter Kate Lagos is part of the firm now, contributing in the areas of fashion, marketing and merchandising.
