About Adrian and the Don Lamad Brand
Adrian began his journey as a professional artist in 2018 doing culturally relevant works with a focus on Hebrew calligraphy. This was the birth of the Don Lamad brand.
While working in oil on canvas, he began training in gold, silver, and gemstones. Over time, he developed the skill to cut his own stones and expanded into sourcing and manufacturing gems directly from miners and dealers.
In 2020, he relocated to Tanzania to work in mining and gemstone production. While he stepped away from gold mining due to environmental and infrastructure challenges, he continued building a gemstone operation—cutting, collecting, and working with rare materials at the source.
Today, Adrian works from a growing collection of over 2,000 gemstones and continues producing new work daily. His current focus is on jewelry design, using his extensive gemstone collection to create original pieces that highlight the character and rarity of each stone. As new works are completed, they are released and featured in curated collections on DonLamad.com, where each piece is offered as a one-of-one or limited creation.
This brand is built in real time—not only by Adrian, but alongside his children. They are part of the process, the creativity, and the story behind everything you see here.

In 30 days, the site will open with the release of our current collections, featuring a wide range of original work. This includes artwork—primarily oil on canvas along with select mixed media pieces—spanning multiple themes and sizes, as well as handcrafted jewelry, mineral specimens, and completed gemstone pieces.
The collections will also include custom carved gems and rocks, small sculptures and statues, wood carvings, and other personalized, one-of-one creations.
Until then—and beyond—we will continue building in real time through the 100 Day Engraving Challenge, creating and sharing new work daily as each piece becomes part of the evolving collection.
