SINCE ITS introduction in 1969, Cartier’s Love bracelets have been permanently locked tight on to its clients’ and loved ones’ wrists. Created by late Italian jewelry designer Aldo Cipullo, the Love collection—which now includes rings, pendants, earrings and cufflinks—has gained popularity for its modern minimalist style, screw motifs and everlasting symbol of love. High-profile celebrity couples, such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and Ali MacGraw and Steve McQueen, were once spotted donning the then-new Cartier line, along with many notable New York residents. Lovers around the world soon gravitated towards the unique jewelry piece, happily linking and locking its two C-shaped halves—with the help of a miniature screwdriver—on to their significant others’ wrists. Today, anyone can don a Love bracelet; it’s no longer just for couples. What’s alluring about the collection is that it can be for a relative, a friend, a graduation gift or a treat-yourself indulgence. Its unisex design, with both feminine and masculine features, is one of the key reasons to the collection’s success. Any excuse to bestow the gift of love is a reason to gift a piece from the Cartier Love collection. Whether you desire something classic for yourself or a piece to express your enduring love for someone, Cartier’s Love collection is a perfect fit no matter your preference or occasion. Cartier’s new Love collection debuts in February 2017. The boutique is located in Building A, Level 1. For more information, go to cartier.com or call 808.922.7555
