Cartier Large Trinity Bracelet: Yay or Nay?

[emmykate]

This is absolutely beautiful on you and seems to fit perfectly. There are videos about putting on and taking off tight bangles using the plastic bag method. You could also use a little oil to save the wear and tear on your skin and gold, and wash it off when the bracelet is on. There will be scratches but as others have said, that’s the patina you enjoy as the jewelry tells the tale of your enjoyment of its wear!

Thanks so much! Those are both wonderful ideas! I even measured my "bangle" measurement and it's still a small so it's weird...I will try the plastic bag! I just read hosiery works as well. And the oil is a GREAT idea!!

Warning -- don't take closeup shots of your more than 20 year old gold bracelets. You will notice scratches that you have never noticed before.

My regular medium size looks so skinny compared to your wide one and looks so average compared to yours!View attachment 5121066

Still beautiful! Can't beat that Cartier quality!!

So I found a Grail piece (for me) a Cartier Large Trinity Bracelet. I love the look of stacks but can't bear to scratch my jewelry or watches up so this is a built-in stack that matches everything. LOVE Cartier Trinity but know I would destroy a ring, and I adore the Love and Juste Un Clou collections but find them a bit small for me at 5'10" in height. I'm usually a cuff lover. Do you think the fit is too tight? It does the rolling-up-and-down-the-arm thing but is VERY hard to put on. I have a 5.75-6" wrist, and this is the PD 7" size, but since it's round and has no clasp I fear that I'm going to destroy it putting it on and taking it off (Trinity wearers please weigh in)! I'm trying to find photos and some show it closer fitting (I have about 1" of clearance and it rolls/goes about halfway up my forearm). The Trinity Collection is 100 years old in 2024 so I might enjoy it then flip it later...thoughts?? Thanks, my fellow jewelry-loving virtual friends! I'm also thinking of a Tiffany eternity band/tennis bracelet to match my earrings...a Tiffany Bone Cuff...more Stephen Webster...help! As you can see, I have a large automatic two-tone Cartier Tank Française so I could double wrist it...thanks again! P.S. sorry for the gross pictures: I swear my arms don't look this bad at a normal distance

It had some residue on it and so I washed it with gentle dish soap and water...SO. MUCH. EASIER. to take off and put on while under water with a soapy hand! I'm going to do it that way from now on! I think it's OK (based on Cartier) to wash and gently dry jewelry: gets the oils and salt from wear off as well...phew! I have done that with my wedding rings after a lot of salt! ;D

Thanks so much! I'm not that young and dainty so I went big with both the watch and the bracelet! They seem well balanced to double wrist it!

And OMFG that VERDURA CUFF!!!!!! That is a DREAM.

Yes, soapy water or just having applied some hand cream.

I know it’s an old thread but just curious @emmykate did you end up getting it? I have the opposite problem: the bracelet I found is a bit too big for me but I wonder if I could swing it…

TIA!
