About Cartier

To truly appreciate the Cartier bracelet, it is important to learn a bit about the company that is behind it.
The Cartier company was founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis Francois Cartier when he took over the workshop of his master, Adolphe Picard. He began making fashionable wristwatches and other jewelry that featured an Art Deco design. He is credited as the first designer to create the men’s wristwatch, a more convenient alternative to the pocket watch.
Cartier remained a family owned company until Louis’ death in 1964 when his son and daughter sold the business and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swiss Richemont Group.
The Cartier company has grown over the years and is now known as one of the most prestigious jewelry manufacturers in the world. It was ranked as Forbes 59th most valuable brands and has a history of sales to royalty.
King Edward VII ordered 27 tiaras from the company and issued a royal warrant to Cartier in 1904. After that, many kingdoms followed suit and similar warrants were issued from the courts of Spain, Portugal, Russia, Siam, the House of Orleans and more.

The Cartier Love Bracelet

With a history of terrific jewelry, you know there has to be something very special about the Cartier Love Bracelet that makes it one of the designer’s most iconic pieces.
The Love Bracelet’s locking mechanism is its defining feature. Most bracelets can be slipped over the wrist or easily opened to be put on. The Love Bracelet can only be opened using a special screwdriver which comes with every bracelet.
The bracelet is therefore locked on the wrist of its wearer and can only be taken off by the possessor of the screwdriver, ideally the person they are in a relationship with. The screwdriver can be sold as a necklace and worn around the neck of the loved one.
The bracelet is a thin bangle which has circles around its circumference that have a horizontal line through them. This design alludes to the bracelet’s locking mechanism.
It was designed in 196 by Also Cipullo for Cartier SA. Early versions of the bracelet were gold plated but more recent designs were sold in gold or platinum.
Over the years, there have been many variations on the Cartier Love bracelet. It is available in 18k yellow, pink and white gold as well as platinum. However, the platinum bracelets have been discontinued.
Some bracelets feature diamonds in place of or in rotation with the screw motif. Other additional features include ceramic details and other precious gems. Cuff versions that do not close or lock are available and thinner versions of the bracelet have been produced as well.
In June 2006, Cartier introduced the Love charity bracelet which consists of a silk cord and golden ring bearing the word love. Cartier donates $150 of the sale of each of these bracelets to a celebrity backed charity. The 2009 version was promoted by actress Eva Mendes.
Prices for the Love bracelet can vary depending on its material and features, but the classic version starts at around $6300 for the yellow and pink gold. The white gold starts at around $6750. Even though the white gold has a heftier price tag, the gold metal version of the bracelet is the most popular and the most likely to increase in value over time.
But when it comes to the price of these bracelets, the sky is the limit. Some can fetch over $56,000.
As of 2019, the bracelet is still in production. Cufflinks, rings, earrings, necklaces and watches have been created as an expansion on the design which has been considered the ‘most successful collection in Cartier’s history’.
Although the bracelet has been well received by most, it still gets its share of criticism. Many compare it to a medieval chastity belt which enslaves a woman to her lover. Airline call is the ‘biggest problem item’ because it needs to be removed when passengers go through security, but this requires a special tool that is often not on hand.

Your Love Bracelet as an Investment

A pawn shop is a great place to buy a Love Bracelet at a discounted price, but it is also a great place to get a loan for your bracelet.
Let’s say you find yourself in a cash crunch…and there’s your Love Bracelet just staring at you! You know you could sell the bracelet to get out of your cash crunch, but you are reluctant to part with it. Well, there is a way you can leave your financial woes behind and still get to keep your bracelet.

Here’s how it works.

Take your bracelet into a pawn shop. The broker will assess it to determine its worth. Then they will offer you a loan. The loan will not be for the full value of the bracelet but a percentage of its total worth.
If you agree to the amount of the loan, terms will be worked out so that you can make payments until your loan is paid off. Your payments will include interest rates and fees.
Once the bracelet is paid off, it will be returned to you. If you are unable to make the payments, the pawn shop will keep your bracelet, but this will never show up as an unfavorable mark on your credit score and the unpaid amount will never go into collections.
