- Lynn Driver2 contributionsMagic from start to finishWhile visiting Puerta Vallarta, you will see a variety of “Mexican jewellery” stores, all claiming they have the best quality and best prices- maybe! However; if you are looking for authentic stones and craftsmanship- you must go to LOD Columbian Emeralds store. The two owners, Diego and Cesar are the most incredible artists of their craft. You will be immersed in their passion for well made and handcrafted jeweled creations. I found them in the Art Walk pamphlet. I reviewed their expertise and was not disappointed. Within 48 hours, they created the most magical bracelet with emeralds and an opal. We chose the stones together and then drew out my vision. My vision was realized when I came to pick it up. Simply Wow!!! This bracelet has special significance for me, both Diego and Cesar brought it to life. I will cherish this creation for many years. Thank you! Shine on! Ps: they can also work within your budget, only your pocket book can limit what they can create.Visited November 2024Travelled soloWritten 29 November 2024
- Karen MSalem, Oregon6 contributionsBeautiful Fire Opal, sized and delivered!!Went to Sunday market in La Cruz…so many vendors. I loved these rings from the start. After walking through the whole market this was still my favorite! However, all the rings were too small for me. These wonderful guys took it to their shop, resized it, and delivered it to my hotel the next day!! Beautiful jewelry, fantastic, friendly service!! Hopefully I can get more jewelry from them!!Visited December 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 16 December 2024

I bought an emerald ring (men's) at LOD during our trip to Puerto Vallarta last month. What a truly magnificent creation! Perhaps the most beautiful ring I have ever had. There are small diamonds on the side with the emerald and 18K gold in the center. The emerald is a beautiful green. The price was very fair. Lots of other jewelry stores charge the same (or more) for a much inferior product. LOD is simply superb with every creation being so beautiful. You will not be sorry stopping into LOD!

Excellent and gorgeous jewelry store. The high quality design and workmanship that the brothers do makes this a must visit. Great pricing too! We wanted a pendant to hang from our chain so they redesigned it to make it work and it looked even better in a couple of hours. The ring and bracelets made it a beautiful set highlighting the authenticated emeralds. Check it out!

Two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Talented and kind, I met the two brothers at the the Marina. While there were many venders at the event, the jewelry from these two artists, were eye catching. I was attracted to the most beautiful piece of art work, a medallion, silver and gold with a magnificent fire opal that caught my attention. I looked for a while and then purchased the opal. My friend was with me and admired the artwork as well. The next day we traveled to the shop in Mexico (Calle Corona 164 Col.Centro,CP 48300) worth the trip! My friend fell in love with a beautiful dark blue Sapphire with diamond setting , again, amazing art work. So many stones, hand picked a from all over the world. The stories and travels produce original beauty, one of a kind gem stones and you are the only one who owns the single art gemstone. You will be treated with kindness, smiles and talent. Make the journey and visit this unique, classy, treasure. No Regrets.....

Cesar and Diego are true artists and professionals. They take great pride in the work they do. Their passion for the art form and profound knowledge of the materials they use is reflected in each piece of incredible jewellery they make. Everyone is welcome in the gallery, where they hope you find a piece of art/jewellery that you will fall in love with. At the very least, you will be offered some insight about the work they do, a warm welcome, good conversation, and maybe even a tequila shot! And if you have any jewellery dreams in mind, they are more than happy and willing to bring those dreams to life with any stones, metals, and decorations you can imagine.

We found the shop during one of the Artwalk nights. Had an interesting discussion with the owner and his staff about his creations. A small opal caught the eye of my partner. So I went back the next morning and negotiated the purchase. It will be a birthday present coming up soon.
I recommend a visit, even if it’s just to take in the wonderful art and creative abilities of these local artisans.

A leisurely Art Walk in Puerto Vallarta, turned into a treasure find of stunning jewelry and artistry! It was like an adult candy store of earth’s stones suspended in unique, one of a kind settings. Every piece was captivating as the setting designs complimented the beauty of the hand picked stones. This gorgeous Emerald ring was purchased by my friend...and the “shopping” continues!!!!😍😍😍

My husband and I commissioned and purchased a pair of new bands (gold, silver, and diamond)for our approaching anniversary and we could not be HAPPIER with them! They are everything we asked for and MORE!
This is legitimately the BEST artisan jewelry store in town. We first met Cesar and Diego at an art walk last year and have continued to visit their shop every time we are in Puerto Vallarta!
If you’re looking for gorgeous, hand crafted jewelry, then search no further. These brothers truly know how to deliver inspired designs that will make your heart and soul sing. Their work resonates with the love, passion, and care that they put into every piece.
We will continue to return again and again.
Thank YOU, Cesar and Diego!

After a trip in during the month of March I was excited to revisit Lod to get a piece of jewelry from Vallarta . The galleria was in the process of being renovated so the owners were very kind to procure a private viewing for me the following day with options of what I was looking for. I found the perfect ring, a true piece of art. They will be reopening in this coming week. I can not wait for my next visit to see what these guys have in store!
5 stars!!

I visited this store as part of the PV Art Walk, and immediately knew I needed a piece of art from them. The store is run by two brothers who source, design and create all the jewelry themselves and are just enthusiastic lovely guys. I wanted a ring that was uniquely shaped and they had some samples made with Mexican opal, which were beautiful but did not necessarily suit my skin tone. Then I spied this gorgeous amethyst stone on an earring that just called to me, I believe the stone is from Colombia. So I asked if I could put the amethyst in the ring that I liked, and they said they could make a whole new custom one for me (the stone wouldn't have fit). I told them what I liked and asked to have the ring be even finer / more delicate as I have small hands. I could also choose a mix of silver and gold since I don't love yellow gold on myself. And only 3 short days later, Diego delivered this absolute STUNNER of a ring that I'll proud to wear every day 💖 He even added a decorative diamond to the side just because it would look prettier!!
