Vintage Cartier Tri Colour Gold Structured Band Ring

Model BG01G751 | Designed 1994 | Cartier Geneva

A refined and highly distinctive Cartier three-colour gold band ring, executed in 18ct yellow, white, and rose gold, and dating to 1994. This sculptural design presents as a single, substantial band composed of three gently contoured gold rows, engineered in a semi-articulated construction that allows subtle internal movement while retaining a cohesive, architectural form.

Unlike Cartier’s classic Trinity ring, in which the three bands are fully separate and freely rolling, this design is deliberately structured, offering a more controlled, ergonomic feel on the hand. The result is a piece that draws on Cartier’s iconic three-colour gold language while expressing it through a more modern, design-led interpretation—very much in keeping with the maison’s mid-1990s output.

The interior of the ring is signed © Cartier 1994, engraved with the serial number and stamped 750 for 18ct gold, alongside the size designation 51. The ring is further accompanied by its original Cartier certificate, confirming the model reference BG01G751 and recording its sale through Cartier Geneva in 1999, noted as a special sales transaction—an important detail that helps explain the rarity of this model today.

Elegant, weighty, and quietly distinctive, this ring represents a lesser-seen facet of Cartier’s design history: a piece that sits adjacent to the Trinity tradition, yet confidently apart from it. A compelling acquisition for collectors of signed Cartier jewellery and for those who appreciate nuanced design evolution within one of the world’s great maisons.
