Cartier Trinity Ring

An ageless classic in the world of jewelry for nearly 100 years now remains the Trinity ring from the French Cartier House. Many dream of becoming the proud owner of this original ring - from the royal blood and “stars” of the world scale to ordinary office workers. Moreover, not only women, but also men, have an original accessory in their simplicity.

Cartier Trinity ring: a symbol of strong bonds and unique decoration

Translated from English, “trinity” means “trinity”, which perfectly reveals the main characteristic feature of the accessory, which consists of three parts woven together.

The author of the unusual design was Louis Joseph Cartier - the grandson of the creator of the company Cartier, engaged in the production of luxury watches and jewelry.

The idea came up with the famous designer, when his equally famous friend - writer, artist, poet and director Jean Cocteau asked to create beautiful, but unusual rings for him and the bride. Jewelry should symbolize Love, Fidelity and Friendship - these three components, according to Cocteau, are a guarantee of a strong and long relationship.

Taking three elements made of white, yellow and pink gold, brought from different parts of the world, Louis Cartier combined them in one product. White color in this combination symbolized friendship, yellow - fidelity, and pink became a symbol of love. So the first Cartier Trinity appeared, which pleased Cocteau and his beloved. The artist and his lover did not part with gifts until the end of his life.

By the way, the original precious little thing was liked not only by customers. A new idea quickly found its fans around the world.

However, there is another version of the appearance of the “trinity”.According to her, the ring was the result of futuristic views (which at that time were widespread) of the head of the Cartier House. And three multi-colored discs, in fact, symbolize the rings of Saturn, which excited the minds of scientists and ordinary people in the first half of the 20th century.

But be that as it may, Trinity has not only become very popular, but also laid the foundation for a whole collection of original jewelry accessories.

Trinity's popularity has led the triple ring to become one of the most fake jewelry gizmos. Many of the replicas are almost as beautiful and of high quality, but still not the original.

In order not to be deceived and not to buy a fake instead of the real Trinity, you need to know:

• A genuine Cartier item is never cheap, rarely sold in ordinary jewelry stores and salons, and certainly not sold on market stalls. To buy the original is exclusively in the company salons of the French house.
• On the inside of the pink element of the original product, a test and serial number are affixed. And from the outside there is a calligraphically printed inscription - the name of the manufacturer.
• Upon sale, a certificate is attached to each item (the number on the certificate matches the number on the ring itself).

In addition, the original is carefully packaged upon purchase, and the package is sealed.

A three-band jewelery in Cartier style is most often used as a wedding attribute. A significant role here is played not only by attractive appearance, but also by symbolism.

However, a wedding is not a prerequisite for buying jewelry. Lovers and connoisseurs of gold and diamonds will be happy with such a gift for any holiday.

Trinity is perfect for women of different professions and any age, to go out and for everyday wear, harmoniously fit into any look, add a “twist”.

An example is the fact that today the legendary ring is worn by many movie stars and pop stars in different countries of the world. And they are worn not with evening dresses and holiday dresses, but with ordinary casual clothes.

Due to its composition, the little thing will also be perfectly combined with any other accessories made of precious metals.

Currently, in addition to the classic “trinity”, designers of the French jewelry company offer its “advanced” models. The thickness of the ring, its finish and even the design itself can be different in them, which only adds originality to the jewelry and makes them even more attractive.

In the classic version, which has remained unchanged since 1924, when Louis Cartier fulfilled his friend’s order, the white gold circle serves as a frame and connection for the rest of the elements. All gold has a sample of at least 750.

In upgraded versions, the model can be decorated with a scattering of diamonds, sapphires or pearls.

The Ceramique classique model is one of the new products in which one of the elements is made of black ceramic. Yes, and the drives themselves with this option are only two.

For those who love luxury, the Ceramique classique is also made with decor from hundreds of diamonds, the total weight of which is 0.45 carats.

To create a delicate and romantic look, Trinity de Cartier, combining pink gold with 90 sapphires, is suitable. The mass of all stones is about 0.9 carats.

In the lineup you can find not only tri-color “trinity”, but also plain, also decorated with diamonds (total weight of stones is 0.18 carats).

There is also a one-piece model, traditionally consisting of gold bands of three colors, in the center of which a diamond sparkles.

One of the trends was the wearing of this accessory on a thin chain worn around the neck - as a pendant. To do this, just pass the chain through one of the elements.

In addition to design, the models differ in size: there are very small, full-sized and as wide as possible - so that everyone can choose a suitable ring.

It is important to remember that the “trinity” from Cartier is a transformer, so it is very important to choose the right size.

So that the jewelry does not cause discomfort when worn, before putting on, it must be folded correctly. To do this, just take one of the circles and easily throw it on your palm or some smooth surface - the jewelry itself will fold as it should.

If the triple design from Cartier is folded correctly, then the inner surface will be perfectly flat, and the individual parts will fit tightly against each other.

If improperly folded, there is an increased risk that dressing will be difficult or even impossible. Or the accessory will cause significant discomfort.

If there is a desire to experiment and wear the ring differently than the author intended (to swap elements), then you should choose a larger product.

In order for the Cartier jewel to please its beauty for a long time, and the sparkle of stones and gold not to fade, it is necessary to follow simple rules:

• Limit contact with the aquatic environment - remove jewelry when washing hands, taking a bath, swimming in the pool.
• Minimize exposure to chemicals.
• Do not go out to the beach with the ring - the bright sun negatively affects both the noble metal and precious stones. On diamonds, for example, a whitish coating can form, which can be removed only by means of additional faceting.
• To protect against scratches and other damage, the ring should be stored separately from other jewelry. The box or box in which the product will be stored must be covered with a soft cloth. You can store trinity in a velvet pouch.

It is necessary to clean the jewel regularly. To do this, use a soft flannel napkin and a soap solution of low concentration.

To prevent sweat, grease and other stains from remaining on the rim, remove the jewel from the finger with a flannel.

In addition to the rings themselves, the Cartier collection has triple earrings, bracelets, necklaces and other accessories made using the same technique. In addition to gold, ceramics and platinum are used as materials for their manufacture. The items are encrusted with all kinds of diamonds, aquamarine, sapphire and pearls.

In addition, the trading house provides a service such as engraving on the product. The service is free if ordered no later than three months after the purchase of the jewelry. To do this, it is enough to present the purchase itself and a certificate to it.
