Larry Smith is a brand launched by silversmith Yoshifumi Hayashida in 2009, who respects Native American culture, spirit and attitude of making things. Inspired by the jewelry that Native Americans took time and effort to make in the 1880s and 1940s, Hayashida introduced the Japanese techniques and sensibilities to the traditional processes of Native American jewelry. By using motifs obtained from the natural world and using natural stones such as turquoise, Larry Smith creates lots of unique pieces. Its sophisticated designs and delicate stamp-works are some of the characteristics of Larry Smith.
