Claude Chavent Paris Geometric Trompe L'oeil Pendant Sterling And 18Kt Vermeil
About the Item
Trompe L'oeil pendant designed by Françoise et Claude Chavent (1947-)
Gorgeous vintage piece, created in Montpellier France by the artists and goldsmiths Francoise and Claude Chavent, back in the 1980. This sculptural pendant has been crafted with geometric patterns in solid .925/.999 sterling silver with an 18 karats yellow gold vermeil. The surfaces are finished with delicate brushes in different directions that create a great Trompe L'oeil three-dimensional visual effect. It is fitted at the reverse with a fixed ring to wear in a chain.
This piece is part of the hypnotic work of Claude Chavent. Claude create toys in his atelier with perception by burnishing his metal just so, allowing it to catch the light and create dimension where none exists. With a deft subtlety, his pieces defy logic and produce pleasure and surprise in equal measure.

Measurements: 32 mm by 32mm (1.26 x 1.26 Inches).
Hallmarks: Is stamped with French marks; the helmeted head of Minerva for the assay and warranty of the silver, the maker's mark CC associated to Claude Chavent inside a lozange cartouche and signed, "CHAVENT .925".
Claude Chavent
He is a French artist jeweler with an studio in Montpellier. Claude toys with perception by burnishing his metal just so, allowing it to catch the light and create dimension where none exists. With a deft subtlety, his pieces defy logic and produce pleasure and surprise in equal measure. This is the hypnotic work of Trompe L'Oeil of Claude Chavent. "His work is triumph of trompe l'oeil technique; he brings seeming volume and movement to forms while leaving them flat and light. He plays with optical illusions, using the contrasts of metal colors to develop virtual perspective in his dazzling, sometimes startling, jewelry." (Excerpt from Masters: Gold: Major Works by Leading Artists, curated by Marthe Le Van, New York: Lark Books, 2009).
Literature: Bijou contemporain: Henri Gargat, Françoise et Claude Chavent, Frédéric Braham: Espace Solidor, Cagnes-sur-Mer, 1999. Marthe Le Van, Masters: Gold: Major Works by Leading Artists, 2009. For similar pieces illustrated with this technics.
Note: Trompe L'œil, in French for 'deceive the eye'. Is an artistic term for the highly realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface. Trompe l'oeil, which is most often associated with painting, tricks the viewer into perceiving painted objects or spaces as real. Forced perspective is a related illusion in architecture.
Collateral: It is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box.
Condition: The overall condition of this piece is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the silver or the gold parts. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.

Hermes Paris Geometric H Logo Cocktail Ring in 18Kt Yellow Gold and Sterling
By Hermès
Located in Miami, FL
H logo ring designed by Hermes.
An sculptural bypass cocktail ring, designed in Paris France by the iconic luxury house of Hermes. This iconic piece is rare and very hard to find. Has been crafted in the shape of a stylized H in solid sterling silver .925/.999 and yellow gold of 18 karats with very high polished finish.
History: This story began in 1938, when Robert Dumas, a member of the Hermès family, decided to take inspiration from a ship anchor chain to design a bracelet. Thus the Chaîne d'ancre was born: a naturally balanced jewel with a sporty yet chic allure. The historic legend of this jewelry line was between 1931 and 1938. It was during this approximate decade that Monsieur Dumas wandered around the seaside, a small sketch book in hand. In 1937, he logged a design for an anchor chain, a substitute for the colossal ones used on boats. Some time later, he sketched the idea for a clasp resembling a subtle mix between a Brandebourg and a Kabig breton. Except that no fabricant wanted to make a silver style, preferring in those days to work only with gold or platinum. And so he confided the creation of the mock version to a bold man by the name of De Perçin...
