Trinity

Three rings of yellow, rose and white gold, linked so that they roll over one another on the finger.

Chance Infinie

A figure eight laid on its side, the infinity sign and the number of the house's eightieth year, made into a gold link.

Numbers drive both. Trinity counts to three, three rings in three colours of gold, linked by Louis Cartier in 1924. Chance Infinie counts to eight: FRED drew a figure eight laid on its side in 2016 to mark eighty years since Fred Samuel opened his shop, and the eight doubles as the sign for infinity. FRED redrew its eight in pink and white gold in 2025, with a fully paved high jewelry set; Trinity, a century on, still rolls on the finger as it did in 1924.
