A 14K YELLOW GOLD AND PARSIOLITE NECKLACE BY RICHA

Lot Passed

A 14K YELLOW GOLD AND PARSIOLITE NECKLACE BY RICHARD HOMER, the mounting set with a 98.67 Carat Parsiolite Quartz custom designed and faceted by Richard Homer in a patented "Triskelion Concave Focus" cut. Handmade cast and assembled trigonal dove tail prong 8 gram mounting. Necklace: 51.5 gram 16" Omega necklace, 8mm in width. Includes a pair of 14K trigonal cut 11 mm citrine quartz French back earrings. Note: "A man of few words, prize-winning cutter Richard Homer lets his gemstones speak for themselves. Optimizing color and light return is every gem cutter's primary objective because that's what consumers notice when they hold a stone in their hands. So when cutter Richard Homer proved he could ratchet up a gem's brilliance by an average 100% in any standard shape through new techniques in cutting, the international gem world took notice. The foundations of faceting were shaken to the core. Lapidarists and other gem experts wondered just how he did it", reports Robert Weldon of Professional Jeweler Magazine.
