Introduction
Anthony Lent is a luxury jewelry company based in Manhattan, New York. The office can be found in the diamond district on 47th street between 5th and 6th avenue in Midtown Manhattan. The company was founded in 2013 by David and Max Lent. It is named after the two founders' father Anthony (Tony) Lent. The company is known for its sculptural pieces which often depict faces, hands, and serpents, among other things.

History
Anthony Lent himself is a master jeweler in the industry. He began his career studying Industrial design at Pratt Institute and sculpture, glass, and metals at the Philadelphia College of Art. Having gained experience working at a small shop in Philadelphia's jeweler's row, Anthony went on to pursue formal training in goldsmithing at the Fachhochschule in Schwäbisch-Gmünd, Germany. Since, he has spent a total of over 50 years honing his craft, has acted as professor and Chairman for the department of Jewelry at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and now works on his sculptures and motifs from his studio in the suburbs of Philadelphia. It was following his stint as an FIT staff member that his two sons created the Anthony Lent brand. With over 50 years of work to sift through, they had an appropriate amount of content with which to found a jewelry company.

Today, the company continues to grow with an inventory of over 500 pieces.
