Tady & King

Tady & King is a Japanese silver jewelry brand specializing in Native American-inspired designs. Its core aesthetic centers on intricate silverwork featuring feathers, eagles, and turquoise. The brand represents the Harajuku Amekaji subculture, emphasizing craftsmanship, heritage, and the spiritual ethos of traditional artisanal metalwork.

History

The brand was founded by Katsumi Tady, a direct disciple of Goro Takahashi, the pioneer of Japanese Native American jewelry. Following Takahashi's influence, Tady established the label to continue the legacy of hand-carved silver artistry. Tady & King holds significant cultural weight in the Harajuku fashion scene, serving as a primary alternative to Goro's. It played a crucial role in globalizing the Japanese interpretation of American Southwestern motifs during the late twentieth century.
