Design

In 1984, Steven Lagos created the brand's iconic design, textured sterling silver known as Caviar. This was inspired by the raw material of hematite.

In 1986, LAGOS introduced sterling silver pieces accented by 18-karat gold, semi-precious gemstones and caviar-like beading. This collection brought together silver and gold in individual pieces for the first time in LAGOS history.
