The Cartier Love Bracelet was first introduced in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo, and it has since become one of the most recognizable pieces of jewelry in the world. What made it so different at the time, and still today, is that it’s designed to be fastened with a screwdriver, a literal lock-and-key moment meant to symbolize love and commitment. It’s simple, sleek, and has managed to stay relevant for decades, so it continues to feel like such a timeless piece.
Yet the very manner in which the bracelet locks has kept me from regularly wearing my love bracelet. I like to take my jewelry on and off, especially my bracelets, as they sit against my laptop when I’m working and press against my skin. When I am going out, I throw on a few of my favorite pieces and go. My Love Bracelet is typically left out, as it takes more effort to put on and take off, creating just enough of a hindrance that I avoid it.

Cartier initially addressed this by introducing the Love Cuff (which is currently not on the website?!) and implementing a more seamless closure. Now, Cartier revisits its Love collection with an update called Cartier Love Unlimited.
The Love Unlimited piece introduces a flexible ribbon-like form, around 200 parts, a patent-pending clasp, and even a design that can flex and connect to others (yes, you could theoretically stack or link them into necklace-like layers).
What makes this feel seamless is how Cartier retains those unmistakable Love cues, including the exposed screws, the gold finishes, and the bold yet elegant silhouette, all while giving us something that works more fluidly in 2025. The “natural progression” piece? The new clasp mechanism (no longer needing two screws in some versions) and the changing form.
So for longtime fans, it’s a reassuring update. The new Love Unlimited feels like Cartier listened; it wants the bracelet to be part of life, not just an ornament. It’s an iteration that invites use, and it’s one that I could see myself using far more frequently than my current Love Bracelet.
The Cartier Love Unlimited is available in bracelets and rings (gold, white gold, and rose gold) in different sizes.
