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. They sold the meaning of wearing the Love bracelet, and it clearly was a success, considering that it is one of the most recognisable luxury items, even after all these years. 

Cartier has come up with many designs under their Love bracelet range, which starts at INR 1,60,000 going all the way up to INR 52,00,000 for diamond-studded bracelets. Yes, they're extremely pricey, and now it makes sense why we always spot them on celebrities. If you're looking for affordable alternatives that would have the same symbolic meaning for you, keep reading.

The first one is the most recognizable design, as seen, it doesn't have any stones (or diamonds) on it, is plain and simple so you can wear it with any outfit as well.  We found a pretty similar alternative, we can even dare to say that it's a dupe that's much easier to wear and take off.

We like the dainty design of this bracelet, it has a clasp to put it on with ease. The alternative we found has a similar two circles intertwined design mimicking the symbolic nature of the bracelet.

The bracelet also comes in an open design, like this one, and quite honestly reminds me of an enso circle. We like Tann Trim's hammered silver bracelet that also features the same design and can easily adjust to your wrist—it's made of brass.

If you want a mix of stones and engraving around your bracelet then this one from Jewels Galaxy looks like an exact replica of the Cartier Love bracelet.

This Cartier bracelet features 10 diamonds all around it, and while we weren't able to find diamonds on a budget, we sure did find a look alike in all three signature colours —silver, yellow and rose gold.

While this isn’t a love bracelet we thought it best to give you this option as well as it's also one of Cartier's best sellers. The Juste Un Clou (french for 'just a nail') came in 1971 and continues to be of high value. We opted for an option that's made of 92.5 sterling silver but if you want an affordable option here's one made of stainless steel.
