The History of the Cartier Love Bracelet Collection

While the Cartier brand has been around for over 175 years, the Cartier Love Collection is a more recent introduction to its archives. Launched in the 1970s, this iconic line of jewelry, including bracelets, rings, and earrings was imagined by celebrated designer Aldo Cipullo. These pieces were meticulously crafted to capture and symbolize the true everlasting beauty of eternal love and commitment.

At the heart of the collection lies the much beloved Cartier Love Bracelet, also known as the ‘Cartier Screw Bracelet.’. This unique design was a first-to-market concept that was designed to symbolize unbreakable love. Its silhouette appears endless to the naked eye, with a cuff design that can only be opened and closed with a special screwdriver. Its minimalist appearance is adorned with subtle eye-catching symbols and motifs inspired by the screw that holds the bracelet together. These motifs are more than ornamental – they hold the jewelry together, echoing the idea of the unbreakable bond of love that will withstand the test of time. The screw itself symbolizes the so-called shackles that one lover puts upon another when in a true, meaningful relationship.

The beautiful silhouette of the Cartier Love Bracelet can be found in the rest of the pieces within the Love Collection. Whether it’s a smaller design created as a wedding band or a symbolic charm added to a necklace, the beauty of the Cartier Love collection can be seen in each and every piece within.
