In this special report, you'll be introduced to four artists you may not know, but should. Each of the selected designers work only with LGDs. We'll showcase their bridal and fashion creations and share why these specific artisans have made this story. These designer spotlights are not listed alphabetically, rather by recommendation. ANABELA CHAN Heralding from London, Anabella Chan is not new to luxury and LGDs. She focuses on what has been billed as bespoke LG jewelry creations, many one- of-a-kind.  Chans' hallmark is designing and setting fancy LGDs and often blends LG sapphire and tourmaline with champagne or white LGDs. She mixes old miners cuts with custom facets and deploys remarkable precision in matching gem shapes and hues. The result is vivid colors with maximum refraction.  Often using recycled metals like aluminum and 18kt gold, Chans' art isn't isolated to fine fashion but traditional bridal isn't her forte.  "I've certainly designed custom engagement rings and wedding bands, yet I enjoy my canvas to allow for a wider, more diversified creative flow," stated Chan in an exclusive interview.

Don't look to Row's jewelry for her classic, "mass market" options, rather view her custom creations. She deploys innovative methods to set her LGDs, especially noted in her fashion contributions. While I would like to see newfound attention in her clasps, she makes up for the traditional findings by excelling in settings and a constant architectural design flow.  Contact: kendallrow.com Citrus Thea Collar by Anabela Chan retails for $6,435 US and features LG sapphire, LG tourmaline, champagne and white LGDs.
