The historical symbolism of the three golds
Designed in 1924 by Louis Cartier, the Trinity collection has established itself as a signature style of Parisian jewellery. It is based on the combination of rose gold, yellow gold and white gold, symbolising love, fidelity and friendship respectively. This model reinterprets this iconic concept in the form of flowing hoop earrings. These pre-owned earrings, crafted from solid 18K gold, embody a pure geometric tradition with clean lines.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting comprises three perfectly smooth semi-circular bands that intertwine without any rigid solder joints. The earrings feature a fastening system combining a post for pierced ears with an omega-style clasp, ensuring a balanced and comfortable fit on the earlobe. The full mirror polish on all three alloys enhances the contrast between the metallic hues and ensures a continuous reflection of light.
