about the jewelry
Ken Fury sculpts otherworldly shapes and organic organisms, like creatures, animals, spirits, and trees. Each piece of jewelry is a character with its own story that often shows growth, transformation, and rebirth. His jewelry-making springs from his mixed-media paintings that integrate elements of his Nuevomexicano and Indigenous Genízaro heritage from southern Colorado and New Mexico. Ken fashions each work by hand using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as hand-fabrication, carving, and lost-wax casting. He began teaching himself in 2006 and later trained at Studio Jewelers Ltd. in Manhattan, graduating in 2009. He specializes in one-of-a-kind and limited-edition fine art pieces and uses the finest ethically sourced metals and precious stones, including turquoise mined from his home region in the American Southwest. Ken makes each piece with the utmost attention to detail to ensure its durability, wearability, and originality. His paintings and jewelry have been exhibited in galleries and at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, and featured in publications. He currently resides in New York City, where he creates all of his artwork and jewelry.
