CARTIER "Trinity Classique". Ring with three interlocking rings in three-tone 750 thousandths gold, one entirely set with approximately one hundred and fifty modern brilliant-cut diamonds. Signed and numbered OF 1007 (engraved Snoe). Total estimated diamond weight: 0.70 ct Finger : 49 - Ring width : 0.4 cm Gross weight : 13,8 g Notes: Thought of as a manifesto, the Trinity ring has been a Cartier timeless since its creation in 1924 by Louis Cartier (1875-1942), and this year we celebrate its centenary. The history of this jewel remains shrouded in mystery. While some attribute its genesis to a request from the artist Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) to Monsieur Cartier, who wished for a "triple Saturnian" ring, it was in any case the artist who made this model famous, wearing it twice and on the little finger. One doubt remains: "the first ring is you, the second ring is me and the third ring is our love". Could this be a phrase uttered by Cocteau, in tribute to his love Raymond Radiguet (1903-1923) or Jean Marais (1913-1998)? Let's content ourselves with the words of Pierre Rainero, Cartier's Director of Image, Style and Heritage: Trinity evokes the "ideal triptych: love, friendship and fidelity".
