Martin Lasak mid-century modernist jewelry
American silver and goldsmith Martin Andrew Lasak made modernist jewelry in his workshops in Vermont and Florida in the 1960-70s.
The designer’s ad was published in the 1977 newspaper “Island Reporter”. According to the ad, Martin Andrew Lasak was the silver and goldsmith who created each piece by hand and torch, with good design and sound workmanship. He exhibited his art works in his workshop located at 2, Periwinkle Place, Sanibel Island, Florida. Noteworthy, Martin A. Lasak designed and built an exquisite show area interior himself. He made and sold his jewelry only there and in his other shop in the village of Stowe, Vermont, where he became known for the famous ‘Slalom Sing.’
Traditionally, he used solid sterling silver, gold, and natural stones, such as turquoise, amethyst and jade. The maker’s mark included the word “Lasak” in capital letters.
Noteworthy, Carol, the daughter of a renowned silversmith Joe Skinger (March 16, 1911 – January 1967), Lasak of Bar Harbor, Maine, was trained by and worked for her father during the 1960s in his Vermont studio.
