Rubellite Tourmaline Cocktail Ring
Kent Raible's square cushion cut Rubellite ring is a knock out! The gem is lively displaying reds and magentas. The artistry and craftsmanship are impeccable. Hand made by the artist himself, Raible has added layers, lines of elegant curves and fine granulation, all built to showcase this lovely gem. Although this was made in 2023, one can image it freshly created during the Etruscan or Renaissance period.
Rubellite Tourmaline 2.50ct.
11.1 grams 18K Gold
Size 8.75

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."
