The thinner band has a more minimal yet elegant allure to it. I managed to try the gorgeous new LOVE with 10 diamonds in Harrods. You will still need a screwdriver to lock the bracelet, but overall, it’s supposed to be a friendlier mechanism.įor folks who adore the classic LOVE but hesitate due to the closure design, the new LOVE might be just the solution. It basically features a hinge on one side, and and a turn lock on the other. Instead of having to connect two separate parts of the bracelet together, the new Love is an one-piece bracelet. This collection is designed with the aim to celebrate self-love and independence, it allows the bracelet to be fastened with no help from others.
I never really regret having one, that’s why it’s still in my collection.Ĭartier introduced the thinner band LOVE bracelets in 2017. If your lifestyles allow you to leave the bracelet on everyday, then it might be a perfect piece for you. It looks stunning and would really compliment any outfits. Please don’t get me wrong, I do love my Love bracelet. The little thing is gold plated so a charge is not to be surprised at. What if I need to remove the bracelet? What if the bracelet is loose on one end and not the other? What if I lose the screwdriver on holiday? Cartier does charge for a replacement screw driver. If I wear the bracelet on a long holiday, I will make sure I bring the screwdriver. My second issue is miniature screwdriver. However, I am more concerned about the wear and tear of the little screws within the bracelet. Scratches tell a story about your jewellery and they do add to the character of the piece. I am usually not someone who worries about scratches on jewellery. The amount of manoeuvre can really add to the scratches. Imagine wearing the bracelet every Friday night, and removing it for Monday morning. While my husband is happy to help, it really can become quite a chore. Personally, I feel you really do need someone to give you a hand to tighten the bracelet (I guess that’s the whole point). I did consider this before making the purchase, but I just stubbornly convinced myself that I would somehow make it work. With my job, I can’t wear any jewellery apart from my wedding band.
I am glad I went for the bigger size, it feels really comfortable.īack to the locking mechanism, it simply doesn’t work for me. SA are there to provide information, but only you know what works best for you. Just like everything else, I think you should go for what feels right for you. When I visited Cartier, the SA did try to persuade me to go for the smaller size, as the bangle is designed to fit quite snug, and you should not be able to turn the bangle around your wrist. Size 16 would fit my nicely too, but I wanted a more feminine look so I much prefer the bracelet to sit lower on my wrist. My LOVE bracelet is in size 17 and yellow gold. The locking mechanism using a miniature screwdriver makes this bracelet unique, and many think it makes a perfect present for their other half. So, this bracelet is really Cipullo’s metaphorical interpretation of loyalty for your loved one. I am not sure if the whole charity belt story was romantic but that is another topic for discussion. He was inspired by the idea of men locking up their wives in chastity belts to ensure they would remain faithful. The LOVE bangle was created by Italian jewellery designer, Aldo Cipullo in 1969. This really is my personal take on the classic piece. So I will just keep this short and sweet. I am sure there are a lot of reviews on the Cartier Love bracelet.
