Auction Sneak Peek #22 - Anthony Kee

A second generation Navajo silversmith, Anthony Kee celebrates a new and lively era of jewelry designers. Reared in Scottsdale, Arizona; Anthony follows a traditional family line of noted craftsmen, in a not so traditional vein.


For Kee, a clean and simplistic approach is the essence of his designing art. From earrings to necklaces, each incorporate bold yet sophisticated detail. Each piece is handcrafted with the highest degree of quality and dedication. Anthony's primary medium is sterling silver, yet gold is being utilized more into his latest handmade designs.

Currently, Anthony is working to establish his jewelry website and producing an initial line of high quality production fashion jewelry.
