The tricolour heritage of the Cartier myth
In 1924, the visionary mind of Louis Cartier designed an atypical ring made up of 3 moving, intertwined rings. He moved away from traditional jewellery to impose a purely architectural design. This model, crafted in 18-carat yellow, white and pink gold to 750 gold, features the external cursive engraving les must de Cartier. This stamp anchors the piece in the prestigious productions of the House from the 1970s to the 1990s. This second-hand ring is the historical equivalent of reference B4052700, offering direct testimony to the evolution of the Parisian collections.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The architecture of this ring is based on the fluidity of an assembly of 3 independent rings, each measuring 3.4 millimetres in width. The half-rimmed profile imposed on each metal band ensures ergonomic rolling on the phalanx. The absence of a central setting focuses attention on the brilliance of the raw metal. The mirror polish applied to the tricolour gold underlines the integrity of the setting and the precision of the fit, guaranteeing unimpeded mobility of the massive rings.
Why this second-hand ring
Acquiring a second-hand ring of this nature is an aesthetic and intelligent move. Here, the connoisseur values the remarkable density of a massive setting, far superior to today's standards, which are often lightened for reasons of profitability. The shaping of 18-carat gold and the complex engineering of interlacing represent a considerable craft cost. The second-hand market makes it possible to obtain a generous volume of gold and a historic patina for a controlled budget, without compromising on technical excellence.
