Marks & signatures
The mark is useful, but it is not unique to him. Other Native makers have used K marks too, so a K by itself is not enough to identify a piece as Kee’s. Our current ring photos do not show a maker mark clearly enough to use as our own hallmark example.
Styles & materials
The three rings we have share the same basic construction: an oval stone, twisted-wire border, three silver beads, and an open split shank. Other published examples show his name on other kinds of jewelry, so these rings are only a small sample of his work.
Three Jamison Kee rings we have
Size 8. Deep blue oval lapis framed with twisted wire and silver bead accents on an open split shank.

Size 6.25. Green malachite gives the shared silver setting a strong color contrast, with the same twisted-wire border, bead accents, and split shank.

Size 7. Orange-red spiny oyster brings the warmest color to the shared design, framed by twisted wire and silver bead accents.
