Cartier is marking the 100th anniversary of its iconic Trinity collection with a global celebration, culminating in an immersive pop-up experience in Miami’s Design District. From December 4 to 8, the Cartier Trinity 100 event invites visitors to explore the history and evolution of a design that has captured hearts for a century.
The Trinity collection, known for its signature three-band design in rose gold, yellow gold, and platinum, was originally created by Louis Cartier in 1924. Over the years, it has evolved into one of the most recognizable pieces in the luxury jewelry world, embraced by everyone from avant-garde artists to Hollywood royalty. This year, Cartier is celebrating its enduring appeal and its lasting impact on jewelry design.
A Journey Through Time and Design
The Cartier Trinity 100 experience offers a multi-sensory journey through the collection’s history, showcasing how the design has transcended trends, cultures, and generations. The immersive exhibition spans five distinct rooms, each dedicated to a different aspect of the Trinity collection’s story.
One of the highlights of the pop-up is a room dedicated to Jean Cocteau, the French avant-garde artist who helped popularize the Trinity ring in the 1930s. Cocteau’s distinctive style, including his iconic pinky rings, gave the Trinity collection a touch of artistic and cultural significance that continues to resonate today. The room, filled with old-world charm, offers visitors a glimpse into the French artist’s world and his influence on the Trinity design.
Another room of the exhibit delves into the collection’s significant appearances in pop culture. Over the decades, Trinity has been worn by countless celebrities, designers, and cultural figures, solidifying its place as a symbol of timeless elegance. From Hollywood stars to musicians and artists, Trinity has remained a constant in the world of luxury, evolving but always staying true to its iconic three-band design.
The pop-up also explores Cartier’s long-standing fascination with the number three, a motif that runs like a golden thread through the Maison’s history. This room honors the importance of the number three in Cartier’s legacy, showcasing how the design has been an enduring symbol of unity, harmony, and balance throughout the years.
Cartier’s Collection on Display
As with any Cartier event, the exhibition is as much about the pieces as it is about the story they tell. The Trinity 100 pop-up features an array of extraordinary pieces from the Cartier Collection, a treasure trove of over 3,000 archival designs that document the Maison’s rich history in jewelry craftsmanship. Visitors will have the chance to view rare and historical pieces that highlight the artistry and innovation that have defined Cartier for over a century.
Among the displays is a glimpse into the latest evolution of the Trinity collection. In 2024, Cartier will unveil a fresh interpretation of the classic Trinity design: a new cushion shape that reimagines the iconic three-band structure. This modern take on the beloved collection represents Cartier’s ability to innovate while honoring its timeless legacy.
Limited-Edition Designs and Global Launch
To mark the centennial of the Trinity collection, Cartier is also launching a special limited-edition line that will be available exclusively in North America starting December 1. The collection draws inspiration from Cartier’s signature animal motifs, featuring designs inspired by the Maison’s famous panther, tiger, and snake. The limited-edition pieces include bold items like a two-finger ring and a striking single earring, adding a modern edge to the traditional Trinity design.
For those unable to visit Miami or purchase the limited editions in North America, the collection will be available worldwide starting February 1, 2025. The global launch of these exclusive pieces will allow Cartier enthusiasts around the world to experience the latest chapter in the Trinity collection’s storied history.
A Century of Elegance and Innovation
For 100 years, Cartier’s Trinity collection has stood as a symbol of timeless elegance and exceptional craftsmanship. Its ability to evolve with the times while staying true to its roots is a testament to Cartier’s mastery in jewelry design. The Trinity 100 pop-up in Miami is not only a celebration of the past but also a look ahead to the future, as Cartier continues to push the boundaries of innovation and artistry.
