It is not without reason that the Trinity ring design has three intertwining rings made of different types of gold - pink, yellow and white. The jeweler put deep meaning into the creation of this collection.
History of the ring Trinity de Cartier ring
Back in 1924, the writer and artist Jean Cocteau asked his friend Louis Joseph de Cartier (son of the founder of the Cartier jewelry house) to create an unusual ring for himself and his lady love. And with a special meaning - the ring was supposed to consist of three types of gold, woven into one whole, inseparable. Each Trinity de Cartier link symbolized a character trait. A white gold ring is a symbol of friendship, a yellow gold ring means fidelity, and rose gold symbolizes the main feeling - love. The customer and his beloved were delighted with the performance and did not take off their wedding rings all their lives.
Today, the House of Cartier has become one of the favorite jewelry houses of the elite, gaining fame as the jeweler of kings. The Trinity ring has become the basis of an entire collection, which includes rings with different plate thicknesses and diamonds.
The ring's name, Trinity, means "trinity" and features three intertwined rings made from three types of gold. Due to its design, the ring can be worn as a necklace on a chain. The Cartier Trinity ring has not changed its design or appearance for over 90 years.
From the history of the brand
The Cartier brand has a one and a half century history behind it.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a poor owner of a shop producing gunpowder horns, named Cartier, had a son, who was given the name Louis-Francois. At an early age, the boy showed remarkable talent in creativity and was identified as a student of the Parisian jeweler Picard Adolphe.
Mother turned out to be a categorical opponent of this idea, because in her opinion, working with gunpowder is much more profitable than working with gold. After all, everyone around is interested in gunpowder, but gold products are the lot of a handful of rich nobility.
Distinguish an original from a fake Trinity ring
Due to the popularity of the brand, many stores now offer copies or fakes of Cartier rings. If you want to find the original, then you need to understand that the purchase can only be made in the official Cartier boutique; there are only two of them in Moscow - in GUM and on Petrovka. It is impossible to buy an original Cartier ring in an online store or anywhere else. Upon purchase, the boutique will issue a certificate for the product, pack it in branded boxes with seals and put it in a nice burgundy bag. On the inside of the ring there will be a number, hallmark and marking.

Unique jewelry
For many years, it was believed that Cartier jewelry belonged only on the clothes of the imperial family and the highest nobility. Jewelry from this brand has a certain aura that emphasizes the special status of its owner.
Rings
Any Cartier ring is not only a beautiful thing made of precious stones and precious metals, but a real miniature jewelry masterpiece.
Each ring, like other Cartier pieces, is housed in a bright red leather case stitched with gold thread.
The company's most talented jewelers regularly manage to find a fresh vision of jewelry design, new ways of processing precious stones and other details. They truly represent true innovators in their field, creating unique things.
There is a legend about how the familiar Trinity Cartier ring was born. The famous philosopher, artist, poet and playwright Jean Cocteau placed an order for Cartier at the beginning of twenty-four.
This talented artist believed that the ring has great significance for both men and women. He had a rich imagination, and he dreamed of an unusual ring, at the same time simple and at the same time, elegantly unique.
Cartier put both of these principles together and created a three-piece piece that is now a classic for the brand. Three rings intertwined together speak of friendship, loyalty and love.
Each link uses a different metal (platinum, yellow and rose gold), in keeping with the sentiments above. Jean Cocteau associated this ring with “absolute love.” According to legend, this was the birth of the unique and simple Cartier ring.
A little later, other jewelry pieces were included in the Trinity line, for example, bracelets with the same design.
In the history of mankind, many happy halves have been united with unique Cartier jewelry rings. They were given as a sign of recognition of love, with their help they expressed feelings. Some Cartier rings are constantly surrounded by many legends and exciting stories.
Thus, such a romantic legend turned into a love story of actress and model Kelly Grace, a guest of the film forum in Cannes in the fifty-fifth year of the last century.
Soon after the film festival, Grace participated in the Monaco screening, where she met Prince Rainier the third, and passionate love immediately broke out between them.
At the end of 1956, during the engagement, a ring from Cartier appeared on Grace’s hand, with diamonds weighing more than twelve carats on it.
The incredible elegance and beauty of the ring is due to the presence of an original cut diamond in the center and the presence of a platinum frame on which two baguette-cut diamonds flaunt. This pair of stones makes the main stone look much more amazing.
Grace Kelly wears this ring all the time. Even when participating in films, she does not film it.
Everyone could see this princely gift on her finger at the presentation of the film “High Society,” directed by Charles Walters. The House of Cartier today presents a whole bouquet of lines of engagement rings, these are the classics, Cartier d'Amour, with engraving, Solitaire 1895, Trinity Ruban, Ballerine and others.
Bracelets
Cartier's bracelets are truly iconic. Externally simple and at the same time exclusively chic, these accessories have long and deservedly enjoyed love in all countries of the world.
At the beginning of 1969, at a New York exhibition, designer Aldo Cipullo presented the Cartier Love bracelet, which is a symbol of the fusion of two loving hearts.
This apparently simple model has no analogues in the world. The Cartier Love design features Medieval belts symbolizing chastity and fidelity.
Jewelry from this line can be seen on Monica Bellucci, Kristen Stewart, Jessica Alba and many other well-known personalities.
The special thing about these bracelets is that the set includes a small screwdriver that is used to open and close this piece of jewelry.
The surface of Cartier Love is decorated with screws underneath it, as well as a scattering of diamonds and cubic zirconia. It is impossible to close the bracelet on your own hand; it is imperative that your significant other screw it on, who will then keep the key.
The bracelet is made as two semicircles connected together, symbolizing endless devotion to each other.
Many Hollywood stars strive to become the owners of a slightly modified bracelet, which is a silk cord hugging the wrist, with the inscription LOVE made on a small gold ring.
After each bracelet purchased, the Cartier House makes a donation of one hundred and fifty dollars to charitable organizations.
The company carefully monitors the quality of its products, which are packaged in exclusive boxes with a company logo. Each product has a corresponding certificate.
When purchasing a Cartier Love wrist bracelet, you should remember that its price cannot be lower than $1,000. Everything else is fake.
Earrings
Cartier earrings have always had an unpredictability of shape. Cartier's style is simplicity and naturalness, so the earrings are made of platinum, as well as white and yellow gold.
Gemstones are not usually used, except in jewelry made from small, delicate diamonds or pearls.
Sometimes you can see painted multi-colored enamel on attractive Cartier earrings. They are appropriate for everyday wear and for attending celebrations.
When anyone wants to surprise their beloved with an expensive, exclusive gift, there is nothing more worthy than the exquisite jewelry of the House of Cartier. Any of them will help express your impeccable devotion and endless love.

Let's talk in more detail about the most popular collections.
How did it all start?
Cartier wedding rings began being produced in 1925. At first it was a piece of intertwined gold and platinum links. Yellow and pink gold was used, which gave the jewelry originality and elegance.
Unusual Cartier rings have gained popularity, so the company also released a bracelet to go with them. Uncomplicated and elegant jewelry made the company a leader among jewelers around the world.
Today, the famous Cartier triple engagement ring is called the “friendship ring.” Jean Cocteau explained the presence of three materials:
- pink symbolizes love;
- silver – friendship;
- golden – fidelity.
The company's so-called exceptional rings brought worldwide fame. They are released in pairs. Each pair includes women's and men's Cartier wedding rings. The popularity of these decorations is increasing every year.
Cartier's creativity combines classic motifs and the most advanced fashion ideas. It was this company that first began to use platinum in the manufacture of rings, and also began to combine different colors in one product. Today the company produces wedding rings, including wedding and engagement rings, as well as any jewelry for a wedding ceremony.
