Toni Cavelti 1970 Rare Brutalist Convertible Pendant Brooch 18Kt Gold with Pearl
About the Item
Convertible pendant brooch designed by Toni Cavelti.
Fantastic piece of brutalist art, created in Vancouver by the famous iconic Canadian designer and goldsmith Toni Cavelti, back in the 1970. This one of a kind convertible pendant brooch has been crafted in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with polished and highly textured finish. Fitted at the reverse with a bale to wear in a chain or a necklace and a hinged horizontal bar with a trombone security lock to wear as a brooch.
The design of this unusual piece of jewelry is made up of a circular figure which bends and fractures in the middle creating an explosion of spheres, in this case represented by pearls which transition geometrically from a circle to spherical elements.
Pearls: Mounted with a beautiful arrangement composed by 12 round white pearls graduated between 3 mm to 7 mm.
Weight: 40.95 Grams, (26.25 Dwt).
Measurements: 55 mm by 66 mm (2.16 x 2.60 Inches).
Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark, the gold assay mark and signed, "CAVELTI 18KT".
Toni Cavelti, was a creative artist, craftsman, and jeweler based in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Canada. He has retired from jewelery, but continues to be a creative artist. He has said that he feels jewelry is more craft than art. However, the jewels we see from the Cavelti workshop are easy to see as art. Apprenticed in Switzerland, in 1954, a young Toni Cavelti arrived in his chosen new home of Vancouver, British Columbia. He found work in the jewelry business, and his designs and style promptly became an important part of Vancouver style and society. In the 1960s and 1970s, nature and geometry combined in vibrant designs that are both bold and joyful. The combination of space and reflection, texture and polish create highlights and depth of form. Cavelti’s work is widely recognized as innovative, carefully considered, and expertly made. Cavelti jewels have a balance and form that is immediately appealing to the eye. They are comfortable to wear, and make a joyful statement.
