Meet the founders, designers, and gemologists of La More Design Jewelry

Lucas + Annie = La More

La More Design is the happy marriage of two GIA graduate gemologists. Lucas and Annie met at an alumni event and were instantly smitten with one another, trading stories about sourcing gems, both very aware of the knowledge that they were each looking at one.

They soon formed a rock-solid relationship (pun intended!) and launched La More Design in 2014 as a manifestation of their shared interest in love and gemstones. Lucas has more than 25 years of experience in the jewelry industry, hunting down natural, conflict-free gemstones with the same devotion as someone in search of their future partner.

Annie fosters her passion for designing custom engagement rings, eager at the prospect of bringing someone’s dream ring to life. We’re proud to create pieces for every type of bride. From traditional and classic to edgy and modern, we make jewelry that best represents you and your love. Together, Lucas and Annie understand the complexities of gemstones, settings, and designs, as well as the emotions they elicit upon a single glance.

Ethically Handmade in NYC

Our jewelry is entirely designed and handcrafted in our New York City shop. In fact, we don’t outsource to oversea manufactures. We monitor every step of the process and ensure every piece is nothing short of flawless. Additionally, we responsibly source our diamonds and gemstones, using only conflict-free, fair-trade materials. By doing so, we are proudly offering you a lifetime warranty. We guarantee that our jewelry is free of any manufacturing defects in either materials or workmanship.
