Among the firm's most recognizable creations, Trinity jewels are truly iconic examples from the house of Cartier. Set with pink, yellow and white gold representing love, fidelity and friendship, they were true avant-garde representations of minimalism when the collection was first created by Louis Cartier in 1924. Trinity jewels were favored by some of Cartier's most loyal clients including artist Jean Cocteau, who wore two trinity rings stacked on his pinkie finger throughout most of his life. This particular example, which is set with seven rolling bangles as opposed to the classic three, is a wonderful example of the various interpretations of the Trinity collection, which remains a staple in Cartier's jewelry collections to the present day.
