History of Trinity de Cartier
Since Cartier’s creation in 1847, the brand has been known for their unique and colorful jewelry. The first Trinity ring was made by Louis Cartier in 1924 at the request of Jean Cocteau, a French artist, writer and filmmaker. This movable ring was made of intertwined white gold, yellow gold and rose gold bands. Each band represents the stages of a romantic relationship with white gold representing friendship, yellow gold representing fidelity and rose gold representing true love.
Trinity de Cartier has remained the brand’s longest running and most popular jewelry series. Pierre Rainero, Cartier’s artistic, image and strategy director, stated that, “Not only is the design still very contemporary, but also it was very modern when it was created.” This collection has expanded to include necklaces, earrings and bracelets while utilizing materials such as colored stones and pearls.

How to sell my Trinity de Cartier without Box and Papers?
When selling your high-end jewelry, it is ideal that you have the original box and papers that came with your jewelry purchase. There are unfortunately a large amount of counterfeit Cartier jewelry being sold on the market. Having your jewelry’s original box and papers helps you show their authenticity and can give you up to 10% more on your offer. However, even without box and papers, you can still sell your Trinity de Cartier.
First gather any documentation you have about your jewelry, this can include its receipt, warranty card and information booklet. All of these documents will better assist you in demonstrating the authenticity of your jewelry and can expedite the selling process. To learn the characteristics of your jewelry, such as its color grade, cut grade, and materials, you can meet with a local jeweler. You do not need to ask for a written appraisal as they cost money, rather you can ask for a general idea of your jewelry that you can share with a potential buyer.
Where to my Sell Trinity de Cartier
You have several options available to you for selling your Trinity de Cartier:
- Pawnshops – Pawnshops allow you to quickly sell your jewelry and get paid. However, as they do not have designer jewelry specialists on staff, you will not be paid for the actual value of your jewelry.
- Auction – Auction houses employ trained specialists who can determine the value of your jewelry. However, you will need to wait for an auction to be held and for your item to sell, if it does sell at all. Auction houses will also take a percentage of whatever your jewelry was bought for.
- Online – There are numerous sites where you can privately sell your items online such as Craigslist which allows you to name your own price.
