Historic jewellery maison Cartier celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Trinity ring with a new collection.
The historic maison was established over 170 years ago in Paris by Louis-François Cartier but it was the third generation of sons, three brother’s Louis, Pierre, and Jacques who established the brand globally. The three flagship boutiques were opened in the major cultural epicenters of Paris, London, and New York, and a century ago they launched a signature design,The modern interlocking gold bands were groundbreaking in 1924 and the first of Cartier’s iconic designs.
“The idea of redesigning Cartier Trinity, an icon ‘par excellence’ seemed almost laughable, an impossible feat. But the challenge intrigued us. We forged ahead but freed ourselves from the obligation to produce a result at all costs. If a new design sparked inspiration, we would fully embrace it. But if it didn’t resonate, we agreed we would not push it any further,” says Marie-Laure Cérède, Director of Watchmaking and Jewellery Design of the new Trinity collection.
The anniversary collection features necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings that are not only tricoloured but various shapes and volumes which Cérède says was part of “a bespoke approach.” “Instead of starting from a hand-drawn sketch, we worked the volume by hand – kneading the material, rolling it, compressing it to isolate a creative direction. To our surprise, an unexpected new shape began to emerge: a cushion. After unlocking the shape, we had to pinpoint its ideal proportions. With the finesse of a stone sculptor, we stripped away layers, little by little, a tenth of a millimetre at a time. It was a work of utmost precision.
