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. Ken's 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’s mixed heritage reflects the cultural foundation of Southwestern jewelry, where Spanish silversmithing techniques and motifs blend with Indigenous symbolism and turquoise traditions. Grounded in his cultural history, Ken’s distinctive style honors the past while presenting a bold, new vision.

Since 2008, Ken has crafted each piece by hand, using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as hand-fabrication, carving, and lost-wax casting. Initially self-taught, Ken later graduated from Studio Jewelers Ltd. in Manhattan, where he refined his skills. He specializes in one-of-a-kind and limited-edition fine art pieces and uses the finest ethically sourced metals, precious stones, fossils, and rare gems, including turquoise mined from his home area in the American Southwest. Ken makes each piece with the utmost attention to detail to ensure its durability, wearability, and originality.

Ken's jewelry and paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums and featured in publications. He currently resides in New York City, where he creates all of his artwork and jewelry.
