Cartier Trinity ring: a symbol of strong bonds and a unique piece of jewelry

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 Cartier company, which produces luxury watches and jewelry.

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

Taking three elements, made of white, yellow and rose gold, brought from different parts of the world, Louis Cartier combined them in one piece. White color in this combination symbolized friendship, yellow - loyalty, and pink became a symbol of love. This is how the first Trinity from Cartier appeared, which pleased Cocteau and his beloved. The artist and his beloved did not part with gifts for the rest of their lives.
By the way, not only customers liked the original precious thing. The new idea quickly found its fans all over the world.

However, there is another version of the appearance of the "trinity".According to her, the ring was the result of the futuristic views (which were widespread at that time) of the head of the House of Cartier. 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 XX century.

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

The downside of popularity or how not to buy a fake
The popularity of Trinity has led to the triple ring becoming one of the most counterfeited pieces of jewelry. Many of the replicas are almost as beautiful and of high quality, but they are still not original.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-10.jpg)
In order not to be deceived and not to buy a fake instead of the real Trinity, you need to know:
- A real branded item from Cartier is never cheap, is rarely sold in ordinary jewelry stores and salons, and is definitely not sold on market stalls. It is worth buying the original exclusively in the branded salons of the French house.
- The original product has a sample and a serial number on the inside of the pink element. And on the outside there is a calligraphic inscription - the name of the manufacturer.
- Upon sale, a certificate is attached to each product unit (the number on the certificate coincides with the number on the ring itself).
In addition, upon purchase, the original is carefully packed and the packaging is sealed.

Decoration for all occasions
The Cartier three-stripe jewel is most commonly used as a bridal paraphernalia. An important role here is played not only by an attractive appearance, but also by symbolism.

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

Trinity is perfect for women of different professions and of any age, for going out and for everyday wear, will harmoniously fit into any image, add a "zest".
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-16.jpg)
An example is the fact that today the legendary ring is worn by many movie and pop stars in various countries of the world. And they are not worn with evening dresses and festive dresses, but with ordinary everyday clothes.
Due to its composition, the item will also be perfectly combined with any other accessories made of precious metals.

Variety of models
Currently, in addition to the classic "trinity", the designers of the French jewelry company offer its "improved" models. They may have different ring thicknesses, finishes and even the design itself, which only adds originality to jewelry and makes them even more attractive.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2020/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-1.jpg)
In the classic design, which has remained unchanged since 1924, when Louis Cartier completed the commission of his friend, the white gold circle serves as a frame and connection for the rest of the elements. All gold has a purity of at least 750.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-220/2017/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-21.jpg)
In modernized 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. And there are only two disks with this option.
For those who love luxury, Ceramique classique is also made with a decor of hundreds of diamonds, the total weight of which is 0.45 carats.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-165/2017/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-23.jpg)
For a delicate and romantic look, Trinity de Cartier combines pink gold with 90 sapphires. The weight of all stones is about 0.9 carats.
In the model range you can find not only three-color "trinity", but also one-color, also decorated with diamonds (total weight of stones 0.18 carats).

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2017/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-48.jpg)
There is also a one-piece model, traditionally consisting of gold stripes of three colors, in the center of which a diamond sparkles.
One of the trends has become the wearing of this accessory on a thin chain worn around the neck as a pendant. To do this, you just need to thread the chain through one of the elements.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2017/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-50.jpg)
In addition to the design, the models also differ in size: there are very small, full-size and as wide as possible - so that everyone can choose the right ring for themselves.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-24.jpg)
It is important to remember that Cartier Trinity is a transformer, so it is very important to choose the right size.
To ensure that the jewelry does not cause discomfort when worn, it must be folded correctly before putting it on. To do this, it is enough to grab one of the circles and easily throw it onto the palm or some smooth surface - the decoration will fold itself as it should.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-165/2017/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-27.jpg)
If the triple structure from Cartier is folded correctly, then the inner surface will be perfectly flat, and the individual parts will fit snugly against each other.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2017/06/kolco-trinity-ot-cartier-52.jpg)
If folded incorrectly, the risk increases 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 not in the way the author intended (to swap the elements), then you should choose a larger size product.

Storage and care
In order for a jewel from Cartier to delight with its beauty for a long time, and the shine of stones and gold does not 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 contact with chemicals.
- Do not go to the beach with a ring - the bright sun negatively affects both the precious metal and precious stones. For example, a whitish coating can form on diamonds, which can only be removed by additional faceting.
- It is best to store the ring separately from other jewelry to protect it from scratches and other damage. The box or box in which the product will be stored must be upholstered with a soft cloth. You can store Trinity in a velvet pouch.

You need to clean your jewelry regularly. To do this, use a soft flannel napkin and a mild soap solution.
To prevent sweat, grease and other stains on the rim, wipe the jewel with a flannel after removing it from your finger.

Nice additions
In addition to the rings themselves, the Cartier collection includes 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. Products are encrusted with all kinds of diamonds, aquamarine, sapphire and pearls.

In addition, the trading house provides such a service as engraving on a 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 the certificate for it.
