The distinctive silhouette of these Trinity half-hoop earrings
Louis Cartier designed the motif featuring three intertwined rings in 1924, establishing a wholly new design language. This structural design combines 18-carat white gold, yellow gold and rose gold in a continuous flow. This pair of pre-owned earrings embodies the austere aesthetic of Cartier’s classic design. The three shades of metal emphasise the geometry of the design. The purity of the lines offers a direct and elegant interpretation of the piece.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The architecture is based on the assembly of three semi-circular bands of identical volume. With no gemstone settings, the solid frame features a fully polished finish, ensuring a smooth and uniform reflective surface. The clasp system incorporates a straight pin that tilts to lock into a rear paddle-shaped retaining clip. This mechanism ensures the structure remains stable when worn. The interlacing of the rings lends a beautiful density to the overall design.
