The Cartier Love bracelet was originally designed in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo, taking inspiration from Chastity belts in medieval times. The design of the iconic Love bracelet is timeless and classy, fits snuggly on your wrist and comes in two parts: the bracelet itself and the vermeil screwdriver through which you open and close the bracelet. It symbolises the idea is of being 'locked in love'. Since the bracelet is made of high-quality precious metals and is meant to be worn at all times, it changed the way people interacted with jewellery, essentially establishing itself as a staple rather than just an accessory.
