Designed to support both men’s and women’s jewellery journeys, guided by the same principles of craft, comfort, and modern design.
Materials and craftsmanship shape how jewellery feels, wears, and lasts. This guide explains the materials we work with, the decisions behind them, and why thoughtful craft matters — for both men’s and women’s jewellery.
Jewellery is worn close to the body. Over time, materials respond to movement, temperature, and touch. The right materials don’t just look good on day one — they improve with wear.
At Lodorfo, material choice is never decorative alone. Each decision is guided by:
Comfort in everyday wear
Durability over time
Texture, weight, and balance
How a piece will age
Craft begins long before a piece is finished. It starts with choosing materials that feel considered, not excessive.
Leather remains one of the most expressive materials in jewellery. It offers strength without rigidity and develops character through wear.
Over time, leather:
Softens and adapts to the wrist
Develops subtle tonal variation
Reflects how it’s worn, not just how it’s made
We work with premium leather selected for its balance of structure and flexibility. This ensures bracelets feel comfortable from the first wear, while continuing to improve with time.
Metal elements provide contrast, strength, and definition. In jewellery, metal should feel supportive rather than dominant.
Design considerations include:
Weight — pieces should feel present, not heavy
Finish — smooth edges and clean surfaces matter for comfort
Proportion — metal components should complement, not overpower
Clasps and fittings are chosen as carefully as visible elements. A well-designed clasp should feel secure while remaining easy to use, becoming part of the experience rather than an afterthought.
How materials are assembled is just as important as what they are.
Braided and woven constructions:
Distribute tension evenly
Improve durability
Allow natural movement on the wrist
Assembly is done with attention to alignment, balance, and finish. Small variations are part of the process — they reflect human involvement rather than uniform production.
Small-batch production allows for care and consistency without rigidity. It makes room for:
Careful inspection at each stage
Adjustments based on feel and finish
Thoughtful pacing rather than speed
This approach prioritises quality over volume. Pieces are made with the expectation that they will be worn often, not replaced quickly.
