Product description
FS: Rare Jack Busfield Custom Solid 18k Gold & Australian Noreena Jasper Interframe Lockback (07/01)
Up for sale is an investment-grade custom interframe lockback folder from Art Knife Invitational (AKI) legend Jack Busfield.
Features a solid 18k solid yellow gold frame housing hand-fitted inlays of rare Australian Noreena Jasper—showing rich mustard yellow, terracotta red, and flame-like geometric brecciation. Tolerances between frame and stone inlays are dead-flat with zero-clearance seams.
Inscribed inside the liner is "07/01" (July 2001) and "18K", placing it squarely in the prime era of his Roanoke Rapids, NC bench work.
