The historical symbolism of the three rings
Created by Louis Cartier in 1924, the ring featuring three intertwined rings quickly became a major signature of the Parisian House. These pre-owned earrings feature this historic design, combining three colours of 18-carat gold, traditionally representing love, fidelity and friendship. The setting offers a striking visual balance and timeless geometry.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The construction of these half-hoop earrings is based on the assembly of three narrowly interlocking half-round rings, forming a structure with an overall thickness of 7 mm. The white gold, yellow gold and rose gold are given a full mirror polish, allowing the light to accentuate the relief of the interlacing patterns. The fastening system combines a straight stem with a hinged mechanical clasp, ensuring a secure fit and comfortably distributing the weight across the earlobe.
Why choose these second-hand hoop earrings
Purchasing a pre-owned Trinity piece is a sensible aesthetic choice. This allows you to add an absolute classic of jewellery design to your collection, whilst keeping costs under control compared to the price of a new piece. The density of the material and the robustness of the mechanical clasp system guarantee the longevity of this piece, whose lines remain completely unaffected by changing fashions.
