In the realm of luxury jewelry, Cartier's Trinity ring stands as a beacon of timeless design and elegance. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of this iconic piece, Cartier honors its heritage with three almost-simultaneous events across the globe, in the very cities where the Cartier brothers—Louis, Pierre, and Jacques—established the Maison's foundational sites in the early 20th century: rue de la Paix in Paris, Fifth Avenue in New York, and New Bond Street in London. This celebration not only pays homage to a century of craftsmanship and style but also to the perfect and magical number three, mirroring the Trinity ring's design ethos.
