Cartier Love

Sketched in New York in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo for Cartier, the Love bracelet is an oval 18k gold cuff sealed by two screws and its dedicated screwdriver — a two-person ritual that turned it into the 20th century's most recognisable love token. JoliCloset carries 1,182 Love pieces in Cartier fine jewellery (bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings), our largest Cartier inventory. Buying a pre-owned Cartier Love typically saves $1,500 to $3,000 against a 2026 boutique tag.

Bracelets, rings and necklaces: the full collection

The hero piece remains the Love bracelet, in yellow, rose and white gold, plus platinum, with classic and Small Model widths (3.65 mm) in sizes 16 to 21 cm. Cartier produces several diamond editions: 4-diamond, 6-diamond, half-pavé and full-pavé. The Love ring echoes the screw motif in a fine band that stacks beautifully with a Trinity. The Love necklace and Love earrings carry the screw signature into pendants and hoops.

Retail vs pre-owned pricing

The Small Model Love bracelet in yellow gold lists at roughly $6,300 in boutique today; the Classic model around $7,400; the 4-diamond version above $12,000. On JoliCloset, authenticated pre-owned Love starts around $1,300 for small leather goods and rings and runs $4,500-$7,800 for a well-kept Classic 18k bracelet. The gap with retail is famously narrow — proof that Love resale value is among the strongest in luxury — yet discontinued rose-gold pieces and large pavé editions regularly trade above their original price.

Authenticating a Cartier Love

Every Love piece is reviewed by our experts before going live: Cartier maker's mark, serial number, 750 hallmark, working screws, perfect hinge and band alignment. The original Cartier screwdriver is engraved with the logo, and reference codes (e.g. B6035617 for the Classic yellow-gold bracelet size 17) must match the listing. On post-2010 pieces, screws are independent — never captive. For the broader picture on the house, browse the full Cartier women's jewellery selection.
