Q: What is this Cartier Trinity bracelet, on chain? A: A signature Trinity design featuring three interlaced 18k rings in rose, yellow and white gold suspended from a fine double rose gold chain with a secure lobster clasp. Originally conceived in 1924, the Trinity motif is an enduring Cartier icon.
Q: What do the three gold colours represent? A: The tri‑colour rings are traditionally associated with three values: love, fidelity and friendship, which is why Trinity pieces are often chosen to mark special relationships and milestones.
Q: Is the length adjustable and what size is this piece? A: Yes. This corresponds to Cartier’s size 18 and offers three fastening positions at approximately 16, 17 and 18 cm for a tailored fit. It appears as Adjustable 18 in our product information.
Q: Is it suitable for daily wear? Will it scratch? A: 18k gold is appropriate for everyday jewellery, but fine surface marks are normal with regular wear—especially on bracelets that meet desks, keyboards and other hard surfaces. To minimise wear, remove it for sports, manual work and when using cosmetics or household chemicals; light professional polishing can refresh the finish when desired.
Q: How should I clean and care for it at home? A: Occasionally soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, brush gently with a very soft brush, rinse and dry with a lint‑free cloth. Store it separately with the chain closed to avoid tangles. Avoid abrasive cloths, ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. Polishing should be done sparingly over the bracelet’s lifetime.
Q: Can the chain be resized beyond the three closure positions? A: Minor adjustments, clasp checks and polishing can typically be handled through Cartier’s service. Significant length changes may alter originality and are not always recommended; a jeweller’s assessment is advised if you need more than the built‑in 16/17/18 cm options.
Q: How can I be confident of authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication. Authentic Cartier jewellery usually carries precise metal fineness marks and a Cartier signature, though stamp style and placement can vary by era and workshop. This vintage bracelet is also accompanied by its certificate; we can provide close‑up photos on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the piece is listed under the product information section. For this bracelet, the original box and a Cartier certificate are included.
Q: How does the chain version compare with the cord version? A: The chain version offers a refined, fully precious‑metal look with secure clasp adjustment, ideal for dressier or layered wear. The cord version uses a textile cord that can be swapped for different colours and tends to read more casual.
