LORBER DESIGN CONTEMPORARY INTARSIA: One of the most difficult and labor intensive forms of lapidary art is gemstone inlay, or intarsia. Very much like mosaic small, usually flat pieces of gem materials are cut shaped and inlaid together and epoxied to a base to form various designs. Intarsia commonly involves small surfaces and requires great accuracy and precision in fitting many pieces together to produce and intricate design with a smooth polished finish. Originally used by Italian woodworkers to create intricate patterns, intarsia is a very old, very precise technique. Adapted to lapidary the technique involves working with tiny pieces of thinly sliced gemstone to make an image. In the artistry of Paul Lorber , the stunning beauty is reflected in the combination of color and design that have an elegant and contemporary flair that create unforgettable pieces of wearable art. The work is prized by clients and collectors, throughout the United States and the world. |
