When Cartier introduced the Love bracelet in 1969, it wasn’t simply another piece of jewelry—it was a radical statement. Designed by Aldo Cipullo in New York, the oval bangle locked onto the wrist with a screwdriver, transforming adornment into ritual. Its exposed screws, once considered subversive, became a symbol of permanence and devotion. Couples often bought them in pairs, trading the screwdriver as a private gesture of fidelity.
