Just my guess based on pictures… but imagine that the order of the 3 rings doesn’t move, and instead you rotate/spin a single colored ring to expose the hidden diamonds.
But with that said, can the individual rings still roll over themselves like a normal trinity? I think it’s still possible, but maybe this version is more finicky?

It’s interesting that this version only has diamonds on the white gold.

Thank you! There seems to be a selection of new Trinity handbags as well.
Holy cow that ring is over US $28k! Bummer, it looks so cool.
Yikes. I’ll celebrate the centenary quietly once I find a used constellation in my size with rubies and sapphires 🥰
@ezp There so many amazing to consider pre-loved, Philip Lim Stars 2009, pearls/diamonds 2012, coloured diamonds (2015?)

INTERVIEW WITH MARIE-LAURE CÉRÈDE, DIRECTOR OF WATCHMAKING AND JEWELLERY DESIGN
With what kind of mindset do you approach an iconic Cartier design like Trinity? How much creative leeway do you have?
The idea of redesigning Cartier Trinity, an icon ‘par excellence’ seemed almost laughable, an impossible feat. But the challenge intrigued us. We forged ahead but freed ourselves from the obligation to produce a result at all costs. If a new design sparked inspiration, we would fully embrace it. But if it didn’t resonate, we agreed we would not push it any further. To redesign Trinity we started at the beginning: three golds, made into three independent bands yet joined inseparably: three from one, and one from three. Plus the emotion that emanates from their rolling dance... Anchored by its sacred values, we aimed to capture the absolute essence of the original, but with a unique and incremental creative recipe.Why a squared shape?
The new design called for a bespoke approach. Instead of starting from a hand-drawn sketch, we worked the volume by hand – kneading the material, rolling it, compressing it to isolate a creative direction. To our surprise, an unexpected new shape began to emerge: a cushion. After unlocking the shape, we had to pinpoint its ideal proportions. With the finesse of a stone sculptor, we stripped away layers, little by little, a tenth of a millimetre at a time. It was a work of utmost precision.What was your creative aim with the modular Trinity ring?
The modular Trinity takes a counter-intuitive design approach: construction then deconstruction. Like a Kumiki puzzle, we envisioned the Trinity bands interlocked as one structure, and then designed in reverse to deconstruct them into three. This naturally creates multiple ways to wear the same ring, which makes this Trinity so contemporary and adds to its universality. Wear the ring fused together for a discreet day look, then unravel the bands to reveal the diamonds at night.

Diamonds (all-white, 3.5carat) in the square also going to be part of the collection if you don't fancy the Modular version. They didn't have this when I've been in, my SA told me to wait but it'd be off the scale for me.

Not seeing anything I can't live without atm. No design thought IMO.
The round is cute but it's basically a lipstick holder

There is an older version of a Trinity evening bag already that's much cooler (photo Jenscollectable at Etsy)

The 'arcs' cross so when it's square if moe full, the 'rg' and 'wg' colours cross . It's easier to see on the larger versions.

I have no idea why the didn't reissue this for the Centenary unless the leather factory owned the design or they had lots of returns. I would have been interested in a similar concept/aesthetic. The centenary versions seem so tame for a jewellery piece celebration. And why not a third colour, a 3-colour a round or triangular bag?
