OK, so I saw this ring just before my trip back home. It's a Cartier Entrelaces ring, 18k white gold, from the estate jewellery department of E.B. Horn of Boston, which is a great place to go for preloved high-end jewellery as it's always in great condition. They have a fabulous reputation and have been in business since 1839.
The Cartier retail price of this ring is $1,339 incl. tax. This ring was priced at $650, and the store owner said $600 including any sizing. Since this was not my first rodeo at E.B. Horn, I knew I'd better wait for my usual SA. Over the phone, she said $450 plus any sizing. I said, hold that baby for me till I return from the Old World!
It's a size 4. Weirdly, it fits, although I'm really a 5 on my right hand. Not sure what happened there, unless I lost a bit of weight.
In pictures the ring looks small, but it's extremely heavy for its size, like lead, and so, so white. It's a great little piece - a young-looking, carefree ring. I would never have paid $1,339 for it, but for $450...I mean....
I also love it when I'm wearing something super-high-end and expensive for what it is, yet no one else knows unless they're in the know, know what I mean?

I was at E.B.Horn myself recently and tried on a couple of preloved Trinity rings. The SA I spoke with said that the stated size of the trinity ring refers to the size of the individual bands making up the ring, not the size where the ring would actually fit on a mandrel. If there are 3 interlocking size 5 rings, there's probably only going to be enough room left inside for maybe a size 4 finger. To make matters more complicated, the width/height of the band (XS, S etc) probably factors into the equation as well, so you might actually wear two different size Trinity rings based on the width of the bands. The thicker the band, the less room for a finger, since they are interlocking. I'm not sure I totally grasp the concept, but I know that I'll probably never buy a trinity ring without first trying it on!
I'll buy lunch...you get me the steep discounts! 
very cool ring. Enjoy it!
