The pendant of column design set with carved wood and topped by a ring in pink, yellow and white gold, suspended from a yellow gold torque necklace METAL: 18k SIGNATURE: CARTIER (to both pendant and necklace) MARKS: Each numbered SIZE/DIMENSIONS: Pendant 5.5 x 1 cm; Necklace inner diameter 12.5 x 12 cm GROSS WEIGHT: 46.5 grams Late 20th century Among the firm's most recognizable creations, Trinity jewels are truly iconic examples from the house of Cartier. Set with pink, yellow and white gold representing love, fidelity and friendship, they were true avant-garde representations of minimalism when the collection was first created by Louis Cartier in 1924. Trinity jewels were favored by some of Cartier's most loyal clients including artist Jean Cocteau who wore two trinity rings stacked on his pinkie finger throughout most of his life. This particular pendant also brings the idea of "touch wood", which is said to bring luck to the wearer and is a wonderful and more unusual example of the reinterpretation of an iconic design. ~Please note that this lot is made from or contains material that may be either protected or regulated.
