They say diamonds are a girl’s greatest buddy and the phrase couldn’t have felt far more true final night time as we headed over to the recently-opened Resort Americano in far west Chelsea to gawk about the new Trinity de Cartier collection. As we walked into the basement El Privado lounge, we ended up practically blinded by dazzling diamonds covering quite a few versions on the iconic triple ring style. From the attractive and modern day white gold, palladium and black ceramic versions that hit the boutiques this week (the “basic” non-blinged-out piece runs around $ 1500) to the hypnotically thoughts-blowing diamond-encrusted cuff bracelet that would set you back again a neat $ 600,000.

Cartier director of picture, style and heritage Pierre Rainero was on hand to information extensive-eyed attendees through the impressive assortment. The property of Cartier created the original Trinity ring again in 1924, so how does the staff uncover the inspiration to keep items fresh new?

“It’s extremely easy, you know,” states Rainero as he begins to explain the legendary style. “It’s 3 rings that interlock and three hues of gold. So [on the one particular hand], it is easy to work with simply because the style is robust, but quite hard simply because you [can not] alter it.”

The creation of the oft-copied triple-ring design was apparently fairly ahead of its time in conditions of shape and design and, dare we say, the pre-cursor to the jewellery kind of substantial-very low dressing. “Not only is the design and style nevertheless quite contemporary, [but also] it was really modern when it was created,” Rainero explained. “It was quite shocking to see Cartier — the jeweler to kings at that time — to develop a really simple item that was wearable from the morning to the night as an intimate piece on your finger. Traditionally, it was noticed as a symbol of faithfulness, really like, and friendship.”

Even with the flexibility in the design, really don’t go pondering that Cartier would even take into account a designer collaboration alongside the lines of other Parisian large-stop designer contemporaries, these kinds of as Lanvin or Karl Lagerfeld. “We usually operate with our very own designers,” Rainero explained. “And for us, design is genuinely our statement, so we see no level in doing work with external designers. And also what we think in is the idea of a ‘maison’ — maison that means home in English, of class — because it’s extremely symbolic and it signifies that underneath the very same roof, we merge all the essential expertise to produce jewellery. Which means not only the designers, but also the atelier — you know the spot where we have the staff, the craftsmanship.”
