Vintage sterling necklace and matching earrings by Navajo Allen Kee created during his time as a benchsmith at the White Hogan Shop in Scottsdale, Arizona from 1946 to 1962, working beside Kenneth Begay. The necklace measures 16 inches end to end, the spiral links are 3/4" wide and the weight is 49 grams. The earrings are 1 3/4" long and weigh 12 grams total. They have their original screw backs but could be converted to accommodate pierced ears. The reverse of one earring is signed AK and the reverse of the other has the White Hogan hallmark. The necklace is unsigned but this is clearly a set in original fine condition. Allen Kee and Kenneth Begay produced more award winning jewelry then any other silversmiths of this period. Kee died early in his career so his pieces are difficult to find. This is a lovely matching set , truly rare to come by.
