Is each ring piece 2.9mm wide or is the entire ring 2.9mm wide?

Another trinity lover here. I have had mine (XS, about 1.5mm wide) for several months now and it's certainly not as pristine as the day I first put it on, but it doesn't bother me that much. It's a beautiful band, and I too have PS to curse/thank for introducing me to the trinity!
This is so gorgeous and I just had to bump this thread back up to comment!
Another XS trinity! The picture was taken years ago and I decided on a different ring at the time. I have since found it second-hand at a screaming price ($385 + tax) and decided to get it for Valentine's Day. I can't wait to wear it with the solitaire.Fun fact: My dad dabbled in jewelry-making and actually made a tri-color ring for my mom over 30 years ago. I would happily wear hers but she won't let it go.

I bought one second-hand online from Japan. Couldn't swear that it's genuine but a reputable jeweler thought it was when he inspected it. I wear it a lot in colder weather as it's a tad snug but I love to play with it!
I DO think new ones are overpriced but I would recommend a second-hand piece as it's a stunning classic piece that goes with any metal colour worn.

My experience is that if it comes from Japan, it is more likely to be authentic than not. It’s a cultural thing, they HATE “copies / fakes” intensely. And they are very fashion forward, they don’t hesitate to “out with the old, in with the new”. A good source of pre loved LV bags btw.I bought one second-hand online from Japan.

Selling fakes is also highly illegal in Japan.

I bought a classic Cartier trinity ring some years ago and I have to say that it's one of the best jewelry purchases I've ever made. This ring looks beautiful when worn and it's extremely comfortable. Sometimes I forget that it's there! I've received a lot of compliments on it and it always makes a great impression! I enjoy wearing it alone or stacking it with my solitaire ER.
Here are some photos.... (for those who are wondering about the hair, Yes, I dyed it dark brown!!! Still trying to get used to it!!!)

I bumped quite a few trinity threads up back in January. I had saved up enough for a trinity, but then I decided at the last second to use the $1200 toward a trade up for diamond studs (went from .60 ctw to 1.01ctw). I made the right decision, for sure, as I wear my studs everyday and they are a big visual increase on my lobes!
Buuuuut... I have begun to save again for a trinity! I love the look. I am trying to be good and not have another setback. My local shop is resizing a ring for me. When I was in, I browsed the counters. In the clearance section (50% off), there were pink tourmaline/diamond halo leverback earrings. I have been wanting a pair of short drops/leverbacks. With the discount, they’re just $250. I resisted the urge to run back in today to try them on, but I think I’ll have to try them out next week if they’re still there when I pick up my ring.
But but but I shouldn’t get distracted from my goal! Even for a good deal on diamond halo drops. Tourmaline isn’t even on my radar. There. I’ve done it, I’ve talked some sense into myself.

Ohhh, Yssie, thank you so much for the kind words...
Back on the trinity ring, for anybody who's contemplating buying one: Do buy this ring. It is such an amazing piece. I just can't explain what a great presence it has and how beutiful it looks, both asa stand alone piece and stacked with another ring, preferably a solitaire. I also tried to stack it with my 5mm white gold wedding band and i thought it looked wonderful! I will post a pic a little later!

Uhm total impulse buy, got it today while walked by their brand new SF store and LOVE it with my wedding band! Originally thinking I will get the smallest band, but it kinda got lost on my size 53 finger... love it on its own too!

Wow, that really is a perfect fit! Do you have pics of the XS size? I’m thinking of both sizes and I’m leaning toward your size (small?) because I’m worried that the XS will get lost on my size 56 finger.
Post more pictures!!

I have a trinity ring in size 51, which is at about 5.25. Usually I wear 5 in a solitaire or in an eternity, but with wider rings or with rings I want to stack I need 5.25. So I think you should rather size up, but surely not size down.
I hope, it helps!
@KristinTech sorry I didn’t take any pictures of the smallest band. It was pretty apparent that I needed the wider one. And I needed to get out of the city before trapped traffic! And @mdmc I normally wear size six, the 53 is a 6.25

Stonewell that is a beautiful set! I really like your solitaire with the xsmall trinity! Humm... now you got me thinking about that...so is your solitaire rose gold? How were you able to match the gold with your trinity? Because it really matches well!Oh my, I love everyone’s trinity rings!!

Thanks @Crazie4Cuts, I’m pretty thrilled with my set currently.
I have several bands to stack, but often feel like it ends up looking too thick or overwhelms the solitaire. So, the trinity gives me the sense of stacking without adding a lot of width.Yes, the solitaire is entirely rose gold and set in JAs modern tulip setting. And tbh, I hadn’t planned how the shades of rose gold would work out - I just got really lucky!

I have a skinny (xs) in a size 56 that I wear on my middle finger. I can take a pic if that would help for size. I have the small for my ring finger too. I’m a Trinity lover. Lol

Isn’t the 51 a size 5.75? I use to own a 51 but sold it. So I can’t double check the size.
