The Cartier Trinity Design Is Back In Fashion: Trinity Ring Celebrates 100 Years

The Cartier Trinity Design Is Back In Fashion: Trinity Ring Celebrates 100 Years

Cartier has recently celebrated 100 years of the creation of the Cartier Trinity Ring, and as a result, the ring is more popular than ever. 

When Cartier originally introduced the simple platinum (later white gold), yellow gold, and rose gold interlocking rings in 1924, it was a bold move away from the extravagant accessories of the era. 

The ring has since come to represent the three romantic ideals of love, fidelity and friendship, where it became one of the most synonymous designs to the Cartier jewellery house. The design remains one of the most versatile and timeless pieces within the collection, where its wearers can appreciate its history and modern simplicity. 

Legend says the ring was inspired by Louis Cartier's friend, the artist Jean Cocteau, who imagined the rings around Saturn during an opium-induced dream. He asked Cartier to create a ring representing something vast and universal in a small, personal form. 

Regardless of the tale's truth, Cocteau played a crucial role in the Trinity ring's iconic status. When he wore two rings on his little finger, it became a cult accessory, admired even by the  Duke of Windsor in the 1940s. 

Since then, the luxury fashion house has introduced pendants, earrings, and bracelets in the iconic white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. The signature chromatic trilogy of the Trinity design is accentuated by the purity and simplicity of its form.
