Lora uses sterling silver, gold, white gold and platinum with semi precious and precious gemstones, pearls and handmade glass. Part of her inspiration comes from her hobby of photography which she uses in her designs.

Her handmade designs can also be adapted to the customers desire. Different gemstones can be used, rings can be hallmarked. These orders can take a few weeks to make from scratch.
