Kent Raible 18 Karat Gold Chrysoprase Cocktail Ring With Fine Granulation

Unlike much “designer” jewelry made today, all jewelry work is done under Kent’s direct supervision, with the majority of pieces made entirely by his hand. Beginning with the artist’s vision and his sketch, every aspect of the work is done in his studio: alloying the metals, pouring ingots from molten gold, then rolling and drawing the sheet and wire stock used in fabrication, making of granules and small parts used to produce each of Kent’s fabulously intricate pieces.
All work is handmade in the USA.

​ »…. 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. »
