Cartier Love Bracelet Yellow Gold

Aldo Cipullo designed the Cartier Love bracelet in 1969 around a specific idea: a bangle that closes with real screws and can only be fastened or removed with the small gold screwdriver that comes with it. This yellow gold version follows that original oval, hinged construction, screw detailing running along its surface as a functional and decorative element rather than a purely decorative one.

The screwdriver ritual is part of what has kept the Love bracelet culturally significant for more than five decades, worn as a symbol of a bond between two people who fasten it on each other, though plenty of clients today wear it simply as a piece bought for themselves. Cartier has kept the silhouette essentially unchanged since 1969, a slightly domed oval band sized to sit close to the wrist rather than loosely.

The bracelet is sized to Cartier's standard Love proportions, a slightly domed oval built to sit close against the wrist bone rather than sliding loosely, and it is the width most commonly stacked with a second Love bracelet in a different gold tone. Clutch confirms wrist sizing against the specific bracelet before any purchase is finalised, since resizing a Love bracelet after purchase is not something Cartier offers on pre-owned pieces the way it does on new purchases from a boutique.
