At the beginning of his career, Larry’s focus was custom designed silver jewelry and repairs and, in 1971, he opened the shop Larry Martinez Jewelers at it’s present location in Taos. After attending courses with the Gemological Institute of America in 1978, Larry expanded the business to include work in gold and other precious metals, diamonds and other gemstones and jewelry retailing.
40 years later, Larry and his staff of professional jewelers still specialize in custom design work as well as special orders and repairs of virtually all types of jewelry, with a particular interest in preserving quality vintage Southwestern and Native American jewelry. They have years of experience and have accumulated a wide range of raw materials to work with when replacing broken or missing pieces, as well as a better than average collection of finished turquoise and coral cabochons.
