In 1924, Louis Cartier designed a single ring with three intertwined bands of platinum, rose gold, and yellow gold. Over the ensuing century, the design, avant-garde for its time, spawned the Cartier Trinity collection, one of the house’s most enduring styles.
To celebrate Trinity’s centennial, Cartier is staging a five-day pop-up in the Miami Design District this week, from Dec. 4 through Dec. 8, concluding a series of global celebrations that began in February in New York City and included events in London, Paris, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo.
The Miami pop-up, aka Trinity 100, is set to open to the public at 23 NE 41st St. on Wednesday at 11 a.m. The experience tells the story of Trinity in five unique spaces, including a room dedicated to Jean Cocteau, the French poet and filmmaker whose double-stacked pinky rings helped popularize the collection in the 1930s; a tribute to the number 3, and how Cartier has used the pattern throughout the brand’s history; and a room dedicated to Trinity’s place in pop culture over the decades.
The exhibition features jewelry and objects from the Cartier Collection, an archive of more than 3,000 pieces created by the jeweler over time.
On Dec. 1, the brand introduced a range of new Trinity styles—due to launch globally on Feb. 1—destined to one day join the collection. The limited range incorporates animal motifs, in a nod to Cartier’s iconic panther. Visitors will have the opportunity to try on jewels to complete their immersion in Trinity.
