Magenta Sapphire, Yellow Diamond and Spessarite Ring
Kent Raible’s new one of a kind masterpiece has arrived! This piece was designed and all hand fabricated by the artist himself. No CAD ever for Raible, who is a traditional Master Goldsmith and visionary artist. The elegant style and fine detail is magnificent! The ring was designed around the central, stunning 3 carat magenta sapphire framed by crescent shaped top quality Spessartite Garnets. This trio was cut by the American award winning cutter Stephen Avery. Kent acquired this set and the dream began. Weaving his color story Raible searched for the perfect shade of Jonquille yellow diamonds.
Kent 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 18K gold Granulation.
This ring brings to mind the quote from Kenneth Trapp, former curator for the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery of American Craft when discussing 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."
We quite agree!
