Vintage Cartier Trinity Ring
Vintage Cartier Trinity ring dating from the 1990s. The bands are in 18 carat gold - white, yellow, and rose - with French assay marks and signed Cartier Paris inside. First produced in 1924, this year the Trinity ring celebrates its 100th birthday as an iconic staple in Cartier's collection, its enduring popularity a mark of its timeless and elegant design.
From British Vogue's website: '"There’s something mysterious and magical about Trinity," says Pierre Rainero, Cartier’s image, style and heritage director ... Officially, the three bands in three different shades of gold represent fidelity, friendship, and love. But Trinity is open to other possible interpretations – the name, referencing the Holy Trinity, has a spiritual appeal. Over the years, the Trinity collection has acquired the sort of loyal fanbase brands dream of. As well as Grace Kelly, the late Princess of Wales and her daughter-in-law Kate Middleton, and the French New Wave legend Alain Delon, there was Jean Cocteau, the French poet and playwright, who wore two Trinity rings on his pinky finger. “Trinity is a universal icon that has woven bonds of love into daily life for 100 years,” says Arnaud Carrez, Cartier’s senior vice president and chief marketing officer. “The concept of its bands and its particular symbolism grant it a unique status in the world of jewellery. It is a messenger of emotions and diversity.”'
