Why the Love bracelet is iconic
Created in 1969, the Love bracelet's concept of fastening the piece to the wearer with a screwdriver made it an instant symbol of committed, unbreakable love. Its clean oval design and unmistakable screw detailing have kept it among the most enduring and copied pieces in fine jewellery.

Does it come with a screwdriver?
Yes, genuine bracelets are supplied with a Cartier screwdriver to fasten and remove the piece; its presence, along with box and papers, supports authenticity and value.
Do Love bracelets hold their value?
As an enduring icon in solid gold, the Love bracelet tends to retain value well pre-owned, though price depends on metal, width, condition, diamonds and completeness of the set.
