Cartier Celebrates Trinity’s 100th Anniversary With Star-Studded Event in Singapore
Since its first piece was created by Louis Cartier in 1924, Cartier’s Trinity collection has long captivated shoppers with its multi-metal make. In 2024, Cartier commemorates the Trinity ring’s 100th anniversary — the French jewelry Maison officially kicked off worldwide celebrations in early February. On July 10, the in-person festivities reached Singapore, where Cartier reunited ambassadors and friends for a lavish party at the Marina Bay Cruise Center.
Trinity 100
First presented in 1924, the Trinity ring is one of Cartier’s signature items. The iconic piece is often misattributed to French multihyphenate artist Jean Cocteau. However, the design was actually created by Louis Cartier, inspired by the avant-garde wave taking over design in the 1920s.
First presented at the International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, the Trinity ring stands out for its uncommon melange of metals — the piece consists of three interlocked bands in white, yellow and rose gold.
Meant to represent and celebrate all forms of love — from romantic bonds and friendship to fraternal affection — the Trinity collection has become a favorite of Cartier patrons and celebrity friends. Over the years, the likes of Grace Kelly, Alan Delon and, more recently, pop icons such as Jisoo and Jackson Wang have sported designs from the collection, which now spans rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings.
A-List Guests
Touching down in Singapore, Cartier invited its most well-known and beloved celebrity endorsers to inaugurate the Trinity 100 pop-up experience. Some of the Asia Pacific (APAC) region’s biggest names joined the 100th anniversary celebration.
The French label tapped into local star power with Singaporean actors Zoe Tay and Desmond Tan. Zoe made her appearance in a floor-length black gown, while Desmond sported the brand’s representative red hue.
Chinese musician Jackson Wang, who stars in the latest Trinity campaign and is one of Cartier’s most notable global ambassadors, wore a sleek black ensemble.
Meanwhile, South Korean star Jisoo Kim and fellow actress Roh Yoon-seo opted for strapless dresses. Jisoo, Cartier ambassador and Trinity campaign star, kept it simple with a structured brown mini dress, while Roh embodied Cartier-approved elegance in white.
Filipino star Heart Evangelista and Thai actor Jeff Satur were also present. The well-versed fashionista Heart sported a turtleneck collar white dress and Jeff embraced the color of the night (gold) with a pair of high-waisted tailored trousers paired with a sheer top and black blazer.
Other stars in attendance were Thai stars Ink Waruntorn Paonil, Kimberley Anne Woltemas and Thanapob Leeratanakachorn (Tor), Australian actress Alycia Debnam-Carey — who stunned in a brown silk dress — and style icons Yoyo Cao, Chantalle Ng and Jasmine Sokko.
Top Notch Entertainment
As for entertainment, Cartier wowed its high-caliber guests with performances across the musical spectrum, including a piano set by Churen Li, a dance showcase by the Sydney Dance Company and music stages courtesy of Benjamin Kheng, Jasmine Sokko and Jeff Satur.
Jeff, who also serves as a Cartier brand ambassador, was the main act of the night. The Thai actor, singer and fashionista hit the stage to perform renditions of his most popular singles, including ”Dum Dum,” “Feeling Good” and a cover of Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control.”
The Trinity Experience
Cartier’s Singapore event followed a slew of celebrations commemorating the centennial of the Cartier Trinity ring. Back in February, the French luxury brand reunited a noteworthy group of celebrities in Paris to unveil the Trinity centenary campaign featuring brand ambassadors Jisoo, Jackson Wang, Paul Mescal, Yara Shahidi and Labyrinth.
The Trinity 100 pop-up experience in Singapore will be open between July 15 and 23 at The Arts House. The space, spanning over 674 square meters, will flaunt interconnected rooms displaying the Trinity collection’s history chronologically. If you’re in town, you can register to see the exhibition here. Admission is free.
In addition to the event in Singapore, Cartier is launching an immersive experience in multiple cities around the world. The brand is collaborating with regional talent to generate buzzworthy installments in cities like Shanghai.
