Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What makes the Cartier Trinity Necklace so iconic? A: The Trinity design is one of Cartier’s signature jewellery motifs, recognised for its three interlocking bands and timeless, minimal look. It is especially loved for blending three gold tones in one piece, making it easy to wear with other jewellery.
Q: What do the three interlocking bands represent? A: Cartier traditionally associates the Trinity design with love, fidelity and friendship, which is one reason it remains such a popular gift and collector’s piece.
Q: How long is this necklace, and where will it sit? A: This necklace has a perimeter of 40 cm, so it will usually sit close to the collarbone on most wearers. The exact drop will vary slightly depending on your neck size and how you like your necklaces to fit.
Q: Is a 40 cm Cartier Trinity Necklace good for layering? A: Yes. A 40 cm length works well as a shorter everyday necklace and layers nicely with slightly longer chains or pendants. It is a good choice if you like a neat, close-to-the-neck look.
Q: What condition is this vintage piece in? A: This necklace is listed in Good Condition. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle wear and typical for a vintage Trinity design with moving interlocking elements.
Q: Do Trinity pieces scratch easily? A: Light surface scratches are normal over time, especially on designs with moving rings that rub gently against one another during wear. Many collectors see this as part of the natural character of well-loved gold jewellery rather than a flaw.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Cartier Trinity Necklace? A: Store it separately, fasten the chain when not in use, and avoid contact with perfume, lotions, chlorine, seawater and harsh cleaning products. For routine care, wipe it with a soft cloth and, if needed, clean gently with mild soapy water before drying thoroughly. For polishing or restoration, professional jewellery care is best.
Q: Does this item come with original box or papers? A: No additional items are included with this piece. If anything is included, it will always be stated in the product information on this page.
Q: How do you verify authenticity on a pre-owned Cartier necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed before listing. For pieces like this, experts assess hallmarks, materials, construction, finish and overall consistency with the model so you can shop with confidence.
