‘Filet Rond’ Brooch

Claude Chavent’s ‘Filet Rond’ pin is a perfect example of the artist’s penchant for elegant, geometric forms infused with ‘trompe l’oeil’ dimensionality. This flat, open circle appears to be a cross-section of a voluminous cylinder, an illusion masterfully created by the artist through his understanding of perspective, and the clever contrast of platinum and 18K yellow gold. Measures 2-1/8″ x 1-5/8″.
