Larry Golsh 1942 Master jeweler Larry Golsh made this traditional style Tufa cast 18k gold belt buckle. Larry recreated this buckle in the 1990s from a style that was common in the 1950s. He used a single morenci turquoise stone set in a gold serrated bezel. Dimensions: 2″ 5/16th L X 1″ 1/2 W Belt: 15/16th Morenci Turquoise: 3/4th L X 1/2 W Larry Golsh The National Geographic article vol. 3 September 1981 features Charles Loloma, Larry Golsh, and Harvey Begay. The article on silver claims that Larry Golsh would be the heir apparent to Charles Loloma. In many respects, this is true. Larry Golsh’s jewelry is a testament to his creativity and unconventional approach. He pioneered a style where he delighted in placing stones in an asymmetrical format, a unique characteristic that sets his work apart from other jewelers. Rarely do you see anything that Larry made as symmetrical. His use of high-quality turquoise and other gemstones, including his use of diamonds, were influenced by Pierre Touraine, which are exceptional. Larry’s work included special orders for making fine jewelry with pave diamonds and onyx that matched anything Tiffany’s or Harry Winston could ever master, and his designs were contemporary and included the works of Munstiener, a famous gemstone cutter.
