Silver, signed, circa 1970

 French goldsmith and jewelry designer, Claude Pelletier (born in 1930) trained at the Paris School of Jewelry, Jewelry and Goldsmithing. He worked for Mauboussin and Van Cleef & Arpels from 1946 to 1962, before opening a workshop in Biot in 1963, while directing that of Vivianna Torun from 1963 to 1968. From 1976 to 1985, he collaborated with Oméga, Guy Laroche, Cartier, Christofle. Today, he creates exclusively for collectors. The eclecticism of his creation is always accompanied by a technical virtuosity and a constantly renewed imagination, whether it is his optical jewelry like this extraordinary ring from the 70s evocative of an op art spiral or an immemorial ziggurat architecture, or the series of jewelry from the 80s with draped shapes in gold or ebony, and finally in the use of unusual materials such as thermoformed glass. Her jewelry was exhibited in prestigious Parisian galleries such as the Galerie du Siècle in 1972 or more recently at the Galerie Parisienne, or museums such as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
