cartier trinity sauvage
In honor of the public opening this summer of Jean Cocteau’s country home in Milly-La-Forêt (30 miles south of Paris), luxury jewelery house Cartier has unveiled 2 new designs of their Trinity ring: the Trinity La Belle and the Trinity Sauvage, created in celebration of France’s most beloved l’enfant terrible. The Trinity La Belle features six intertwined bands (Cocteau liked to wear two of the original Trinity rings stacked together on his pinky), with one band displaying Cocteau’s signature star stamp. The Trinity Sauvage features one leopard printed band (Cocteau’s walls sport a leopard and panther motif), one studded with diamonds, and one engraved with the Cartier insignia.
What better way to pay homage to Jean Cocteau’s penchant for the decadent than by taking a decadent little shopping trip to Paris to buy your wedding rings? Once here, it’s only fitting that you make a B-line to Cartier on Place Vendôme to test run a Trinity or two for yourself. While on the Place, pop into Bulgari, Boucheron and Van Cleef & Arpel- as well as Chanel, Dior, Mauboussin and Fred. And don’t be afraid to wander off the beaten path- around the corner and straight into Tiffany’s or Montblanc, that is! .
