Cartier to Launch New Trinity Collection
, The Trinity La Belle has six rolling bands to reflect Cocteau's double pinkie rings and one loop is stamped with a star in a reflection of the fact that the artist always added a star to his signature when signing his name. Also in the collection is the Trinity Sauvage ring, bracelet, and pendant each of which has a band imprinted with black-lacquer spots to reflect not only Cartier’s famed panther, but as an ode to the leopard-print walls in Cocteau’s study. On a side note, Cartier introduced rings, bracelets, and earrings with a similar star motif made of diamonds at Phillip Lim's fall 2009 show in celebration of their Centennial in America.
The major news at the event, however, centered around the introduction in January 2012 of pearl-accented Cartier Trinity pieces. None of the pieces were yet available to be displayed, but we were shown a slideshow featuring the designs and the lineup includes pearls incorporated into rings, necklaces, and earrings. As for something new you can get now, a platinum, white gold, and black ceramic Trinity ring, bangle, pendant, and pair of earrings just hit Cartier last week (they come in iterations with pave diamonds as well). |
