Hey All,

After much waiting I finally have the Cartier Trinity! I have it for my mother's ring with a kid name on each band. :D I LOVE IT! It's been a long road, but first PICTURES:

Here's the long story:

Hubby and I have an agreement: He spends $$ and I get to spend $$. Well for a few years hubby has been doing these events and so my Sparklie fund has been growing. Now I love the idea of Mother's rings, however I don't really like the look, so I tossed around ideas. One was individual stackers, one for each kid, but I like my diamonds :lickout: And I wondered how I would wear them all. Especially since my RHR is my original wedding band. I choose not to stack it because it has been worn down after being stacked for so many years and I want to prevent further damage. So, about 2 years ago I saw the Cartier Trinity and someone had mentioned they wanted it to represent their family. So, stealing their idea (I'm sorry I can't remember who originally posted the idea), I wanted one too. I scoured EBay but it was such a mind thing that I couldn't get over the idea that it may be a fake and I knew I wanted it to be engraved. So, I waited and waited. FINALLY, after much cajoling (as hubbs didn't agree with the amount, unfortunately for him I kept accurate records AND he purchased several $$$ more items) I got my ring.
I originally purchased the ring last month while in PHX, however I purchased the wrong size :( Cartier was wonderful and I shipped it back and then had the correct size shipped to NY for engraving. I have my children's names engraved on the inside, one on each band. I love it! It's beautiful, iconic, and it's movable. :D I like to play with my rings. :D
 
HI:

Welcome to the "club"! Congrats! Wear it in health!

cheers--Sharon
 
Looks great! I love the idea of engraving it too. Wish I'd thought of that for my own Trinity.
 
Yes welcome to the club, enjoy!
 
Awesome!

Love the simple look of the channel set with it.

:appl:
 
Woo-hoo! :appl: I love the sentiment, and the look of all that lovely gold snuggling up together!
 
It looks wonderful in all combinations! It's such a luxurious piece. Yay!
 
congrats!!! I love it with the eternity. I want one so badly, but just haven't invested the time to really look. Need to get on that.
 
Thanks All! :D The Engraving idea wasn't mine originally but I love it. I was debating on adding the kids birthdays, but in the end just went with their first and middle names.:D

Lorrissey - My eternity is from Facets and I love it. It's thin enough to pair with just about anything. My fingers are big (size 7.5) and long so it gets lost if I wear it on its own, but that's ok with me I'm a stacker ;)

Rosebloom - It's TOTALLY a luxurious piece!!! I did the math on how much my two rings (Eternity & Trinity) cost and well, was surprised when I added them up. :o I realize that they are peanuts compared to the jewels here on PS but significant amount for us. Its crazy how I go to the store and think: I'm wearing Cartier and have a Coach bag :twirl: :lickout:

Jane - I love the gold! :D All this platinum and paladium running around and I"m still loving the yellow gold. But now I have the three toned; love THAT even more!

Niel - The eternity won out as those are the most expensive pieces I own, they make me nervous to leave at home. However, they're both insured so I shouldn't worry but still...neither the Wedding ring or ERing are insured so in truth I should worry about those more. :D
 
Yay for join the trinity club. ;-) I love your collection, it is absolutely beautiful! :love:
