Each piece has been designed and executed by Kent and his team, and represents the ultimate in the jeweler's art, using traditional and sometimes ancient goldsmithing techniques.Rules vary by country. Presented here are current and available one-of-a-kind works by master craftsman and award-winning goldsmith Kent Raible. One could say, in fact, that the pieces I create are perfect time-traveling machines! Firmly rooted in ages-old tradition, each a conscious contributor to its own time, always with a keen and anticipatory eye on what might be next." ~ Kent
My clients tend to call me a true Renaissance man. But in my hands, they take on and follow the lines of that singular, internal vision of the practiced artist - one who speaks his own language that somehow bridges the past, present, and future. My life's works draw deeply from the most ancient wells - the archetypes, symbols, and themes that have persisted for millennia. "My life’s path is that of the goldsmith, a path of over 44 years now! To say I love my job would be an understatement! Because, in a world where few things endure, I am one of those who have chosen to celebrate that which defies the passage of time and the whims of fashion. - Kenneth Trapp, Former Curator, Smithsonian Institution, Renwick Gallery National Museum of American Craft There's a sumptuous, sparkling, magnificence to his work."
It alludes to a time of opulence, when intensive labor was an end in itself. Kent's work is glorious in that it has a fantastical quality. Using gold, precious and semi precious stones, he brings to mind a fantasy world of sultans, sheiks and palatial surroundings. Kent's pieces are the quintessence of sumptuous jewelry. 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. 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. The pin pack also has a secure safety catch.īale opens to receive a chain, pearls, beads up to 6.5mm in diameter Raible has also incorporated a white gold pin back which hinges open to be worn as a brooch on heavier fabric. The Bale hinges open, snaps shut, and has a safety that snaps in place. Worn as a Pendant, the bale opens to receive a chain, beads or pearls up to 6.5mm inn diameter. In true Raible fashion the distinction is in the detail, he has built a gilded golden cage around the pearl, all culminating with the sparkle of a small faceted Red Spinel surrounded by the finest granulation.
A classic Raible original, the 'Golden Key' necklace enhancer and brooch is hand fabricated by Kent in 18 Karat Gold with fine granulation detail.įour rich Red Spinels radiate out from the gorgeous central Sunstone with the tear drop spinel capping the multi hued Fresh Water Pearl.
