Linn Designs

Linn. Fine Jewelry was founded by designer Masumi Hayashi and is based in Brooklyn, NY.  Masumi was raised in Sapporo, Japan, and was an accessory designer in Tokyo’s fashion world before moving to New York in 2001, where she learned traditional bench jewelry. Masumi's work is influenced by years of travel and experiences living and working in Japan and New York. Masumi’s designs are inspired by her fascination with the contrast of geometric structures combined with organic forms found in nature. Her work includes elements of architectural shapes, balanced asymmetry, and often features unique and irregular gemstones or precise cut stones set in richly textured gold.  All of Masumi's pieces are handmade in her studio in Brooklyn, NY.
