The piece wants to represent love and at Cartier, the latter is far from lasting three years. It was in 1969 that the bracelet Love for the Parisian house. All these decades later, the flame of passion still burns. Fashion continues to show off what has become one of the world’s best known and most popular jewelry items. The legend even says that in New York, the emergency services are equipped with the small screwdriver necessary to remove it so often it was necessary to cut it before making X-rays to their patients. It’s a fact, everyone continues to pass the most luxurious of handcuffs around the handles. The Beatles said that “All You Need is Love” and this is especially true if we are talking about Cartier.
Love, a beautiful love story by Cartier
It is to the designer Aldo Cipullo that we owe the concept of this jewel: to encapsulate in a bracelet the memory of love stories. He therefore imagined an innovative piece with clean lines and a pattern that stands out in the very chic world of jewelry: that of visible screws. The latter are important, because it is one of them that allows the bracelet to be fixed for eternity… or almost. To seal it, it is necessary to bring a small screwdriver, an act that requires the presence of two people and can turn into a real ritual with the loved one. The same gesture will be necessary to remove it, understand: le bracelet is here to stay (at least as long as romance). To establish the symbolism, Cartier will offer, when it comes out, the bracelet to mythical couples such as Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor or the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. It was enough to write the legend.
A timeless bracelet
From, le bracelet Love has never lost its luster. What distinguishes it from other models of its kind: a fairly simple design, easy to wear and above all unisex which has made it a must for personalities as eclectic as Kylie Jenner or Meghan Markle. In the face of success, Cartier declined its best-seller in a whole line Love counting necklaces, rings or earrings, available in three different golds, with or without precious stones. Note that the mythical bracelet, now available in a thinner version, also has an open model, easy to put on and take off. Symbol of an open relationship? A commitment with variable geometry? Who knows. Anyway, no need to wait for the great love, now the Love the Cartier buys for oneself in order to self-declare one’s flame. The proof of love we deserve!
