Seeking a pleasing visual balance is a difficult task when designing jewelry.  The brother team at LOD Jewelry use a variety of techniques, texture and balance of colour to create their one of a kind jewelry designs that delight the beholder's eye.

The process of design begins long before the studio by hand-selecting each gem they put into their designs. In the case of their favorite gem the emerald, they visit the mines deep in the Colombian section of the Andes mountain range every year to select the right stones to give life to their collection.  

Before beginning a new project, they take into account a large number of design aspects.  Firstly, determining where the piece's focal point will be and where the principal gem will lie.  Next, to not lose the natural beauty of the gems, they determine where the light will pass through the piece, taking into account the play of colors and the different metals they will be using.  All these aspects combined create a unique piece that feels balanced and harmonious.
