Love Bracelet
The Cartier Love was created in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo in New York. Its revolutionary concept: a rigid 18-carat gold bracelet sealed by a screwdriver, worn as a couple's symbol — a wearable love lock. It was immediately adopted by the world's most glamorous couples and has never left the house's permanent collection.
Recognisable by its decorative screws and signature oval design, the Love Bracelet has become the best-selling Cartier jewel in the world, celebrated by celebrities and lovers alike. In 2026, it remains the most actively traded Cartier piece on the secondary market.
How to authenticate a Love Bracelet Cartier
Authentication of the Love Bracelet begins with the 750 hallmark (18-carat gold), the Cartier signature engraved inside, and the unique serial number. The hallmark must be clean and precisely struck. The Cartier engraving must be sharp and perfectly centred.
The decorative screws are perfectly engraved and aligned. The original screwdriver (with Cartier box) must fit perfectly. The precise weight of the bracelet (between 30 and 38 grams for the classic version) is an important authentication element — a counterfeit is invariably lighter.
The most coveted versions
Yellow gold Love is the most classic and most liquid. Rose gold Love is very fashionable in recent years. White gold Love is more classical with a slightly more selective demand. Diamond-set versions achieve the highest values.

Selling your Love Bracelet Cartier — frequently asked questions
What is the resale price of a Love Bracelet in 2026?
A Love Bracelet in 18-carat yellow gold, excellent condition, with box and certificate, resells between £4,890 and £7,070. The value closely tracks Cartier's retail price increases (5 to 7% per year). Diamond-set versions achieve significantly higher premiums.
Yellow gold, rose gold, or white gold: which resells best?
Yellow gold is the most classic and most liquid. Rose gold is very fashionable and commands an equivalent value. White gold is more classical but with more selective demand. All three retain their value well over the long term.
Is the screwdriver important for resale?
Yes, the original Cartier screwdriver is part of a complete set and its absence can reduce the value by 5 to 10%. Cartier produces replacement screwdrivers in boutique, but the original is always preferable at resale.
Does the Love Bracelet appreciate in value?
Moderately. Its value tracks Cartier's retail price increases and the gold price. Over 10 years, a yellow gold Love Bracelet has seen its value increase by approximately 50 to 60%. It is not a speculative investment, but a very stable store of value.
