Gothic Trefoil
Three-lobed trefoils interlocking through a six-fold lattice — the tracery figure that runs through Gothic cathedral windows.
The trefoil — three rounded lobes joined at the center — is one of the foundational figures of Gothic tracery, repeated across cathedral windows, doorways, and screens from the 12th century onward. Cut into stone, it carries Christian symbolism; cut next to a four-leafed quatrefoil, it just carries geometry.
This version locks the trefoil into a six-fold field. The lobes of one flow into the lobes of the next, and the negative space between them takes on its own three-lobed shape — the figure-ground inversion that Gothic stonework loved to exploit.
At jewelry scale the trefoil becomes a pendant face. At architectural scale the same field works as a window grille, a screen, or a tile inset.
The same patience that fills a pendant fills a panel.
