Question 9

Is the Cartier Love ring timeless?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Cartier Love ring is timeless. Following the immense success of the Love bracelet, a radical and provocative accessory designed for Cartier by Italian-born jeweler Aldo Cipullo in 1969, the French luxury house went on to produce earrings, necklaces and rings. (The Cartier Love ring was originally dotted with miniature faux screwheads that mirrored those of the groundbreaking modernist cuff before it.) It’s long been reported that the Love collection is the brand’s most popular and largest series, as Cartier has since augmented the line with cufflinks and watches, too. Shop a selection of vintage Cartier Love rings on 1stDibs.

Question 10

Is Cartier love a good investment?

Accepted Answer

Whether or not Cartier’s Love jewelry is a good investment will depend upon a range of factors such as rarity, condition and more. While a study of luxury investments in 2019 found that jewelry was among the worst-performing collectibles (luxury handbags had the highest returns), experts have reported that jewelry’s status as an investment is improving.

For its extraordinary range of bracelets, watches, rings and other adornments, French luxury house Cartier is revered all over the world among clients both existing and aspirational, and the Cartier Love bracelet is one of the most iconic pieces of jewelry of the past century, if not all time. When Italian-born American jewelry designer Aldo Cipullo (1935–84) created the company’s signature bangle, he believed that the bond and commitment embodied in love deserved their own distinctive symbol. Eventually, a full-fledged Love collection, including bracelets of different sizes and materials as well as earrings, necklaces and rings, was introduced by Cartier.

Determining the value of any collectible depends upon a variety of aspects. Because Cartier is so well-known for its legacy of craftsmanship and use of quality materials in its wide range of offerings, this can have a positive effect on the long-term value of its jewelry.

Jewelry industry professionals advise that investment-worthy high-quality vintage jewelry should include its maker’s hallmarks. (If the 700 fake Cartier Love bracelets seized in Cincinnati in 2022 were authentic, they would’ve had a retail value of nearly $8.9 million as well as properly executed Cartier hallmarks. On a fake Cartier Love bracelet, the Cartier logo may mistakenly appear on both sides of the bracelet and be sloppily executed.)

At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Buyers should keep in mind that the value of any investment is subject to fluctuation, and any investment decisions should be made according to the guidance of a financial advisor. Find a range of jewelry from Cartier’s Love collection on 1stDibs.

Question 11

What does the Cartier Love ring symbolize?

Accepted Answer

What the Cartier Love ring symbolizes is a matter of personal interpretation. The ring is part of Cartier’s Love collection, which started with the Love bracelet in 1969, a piece inspired by the lore of medieval chastity belts. As a result, many people associate the Love ring and other pieces in Cartier's Love collection with protecting or “locking in” love. Others see the ring as a symbol of everlasting love in a relationship. Find a selection of vintage Cartier Love rings on 1sDibs.

Question 14

What does the Cartier Love necklace mean?

Accepted Answer

While what the Cartier Love necklace means is truly up to the wearer, the accessory’s specific construction had deep meaning for its designer. When Italian-born American jewelry designer Aldo Cipullo (1935–84) created the Love bracelet, which was the first piece in the Love collection, he was inspired by chastity belts and the promise of romantic love. Although it’s since been updated to lock and unlock on its own, the original Love bracelet came with a gold-vermeil screwdriver. One lover wore Cipullo’s striking cuff, while the other carried the tool to open and close it. The piece would thus be an immutable symbol of a couple’s love — immutable, that is, until the guardian of the screwdriver agreed to remove it. The mock flathead screws motif that characterizes the original bracelet can also be seen on the Love necklace’s pendant. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Cartier Love necklaces.

Question 15

What does a love heart necklace mean?

Accepted Answer

What a love heart necklace means is open to interpretation. Most people associate it with love and affection. Depending on who purchased it and the wearer's beliefs, the necklace may represent a romantic relationship or familial love, such as that of a child for their mother. Shop a wide range of heart necklaces on 1stDibs.

Question 16

What do you call a person who loves jewelry?

Accepted Answer

You can call someone who loves jewelry a few things. Gemmaphile is a popular term for someone who loves to collect and wear jewelry featuring gemstones, while chrysophilist is the word for a lover of gold. More casually, you might refer to them as a jewelry lover, a jewelry fan or a jewelry fiend. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of jewelry.

Question 17

What necklace pendant means love?

Accepted Answer

There are a few necklace pendants that can mean love. Many people associate heart pendants with love since the heart is a classic symbol of romance and affection. With its intertwining forms, the Celtic knot also represents love, as does the triskelion, an ancient symbol consisting of three spirals that form a triangle. Remember that people interpret symbols in different ways, so some pendants may signify love to some people but not to others. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of pendant necklaces.

Question 18

What is the point of the Cartier Love bracelet?

Accepted Answer

The point of the Cartier Love bracelet is to add flair to ensembles with the accessory’s sleek metal form and, sometimes, the sparkle of diamonds, depending on the piece. In terms of symbolism, the French luxury jewelry maker's iconic bracelet represents the idea of locking down love for the long term. The lore of medieval chastity belts was one of the inspirations for the design, including the screw detailing that runs along the Love bracelet. Shop a collection of Cartier Love bracelets on 1stDibs.

Question 19

What is the meaning of the Cartier Love ring?

Accepted Answer

The meaning of the Cartier Love ring is widely understood to be rooted in love and romance. The ring was originally dotted with miniature faux screwheads that mirrored those of the groundbreaking modernist Love bracelet before it, which not only referenced the Love series’ playful signature characteristic but also prominently underscoring the theme of permanence that designer Aldo Cipullo had in mind when he conceived of the design.
