Rings (and other jewelry) By Kent

I'll just cut to the chase. My uncle, Kent Christensen, is an AMAZING jeweler and a FANTASTIC man! He makes these unbelievable rings that are to die for (seriously though). I love that they have a raw, earthy feel to them. My cousin Ashley and her husband Carl have some amazing wide wedding bands that he made. Here is a little more about his jewelry:





My jewelry is symbolic of hard work and the universal need for art that lasts. Each design is unique and individualized. It doesn’t conform to the masses. It is art that spans generations. I revel in the beauty of natural materials. My jewelry is the work of my own hands, cast at the foot of the Sundance Wasatch mountains in the heart of the American West, Utah.

My work is the product of many roads of experience. After studying fine art in college, I worked as an archeologist, where I came to understand the power of timeless mediums. I am a master ceramist in the dental technology field, which is where my hands grew accustomed to precision and perfect detail. I grew up with the sound of the ocean in my backyard, and later adopted the red sands and unparalleled mountains of Utah, which I’ve called home for over 25 years. My heritage and my family are the principles that guide me.

My pieces combine physical style with free flow design of natural materials. In addition to silver and gold, I work with a variety of other precious and semi-precious metals. Contact me for more details.

The end result is not just jewelry, but hand-crafted sculptural designs of wearable art.

I posted just a few of my favorite designs of Kent's, but he has dozens more. To see his full gallery, email:
