This piece was designed and all hand fabricated by the artist himself; designed around the central, stunning 3 carat magenta sapphire framed by crescent shaped top quality spessartite garnets. This trio was cut by award winning cutter Stephen Avery. Weaving his color story, Kent searched for the perfect shade of Jonquille yellow diamonds. He created and alloyed 20 karat apricot gold, just the warm color he wanted to frame the gems. True to his signature style, we have flowing luscious forms accented in Kent's signature 18 karat gold granulation.
Kenneth Trapp, former curator for the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery of American Craft says of Kent Raible's work: "Kent's pieces are the quintessence of sumptuous jewelry. Using gold, precious and semi precious stones, he brings to mind a fantasy world of sultans, sheiks and palatial surroundings. Kent's work is glorious in that it has a fantastical quality. It alludes to a time of opulence, when intensive labor was an end in itself. There's a sumptuous, sparkling, magnificence to his work."
