Love Wedding Band
That a provocative symbol of immutable love should make a stunning wedding band is no surprise. But when that symbol is Cartier’s Love bracelet — the piece that initiated the French luxury jewelry house’s most popular and recognizable collection — it renders a wedding ring that is wholly steeped in history and symbolism.
The Love wedding band is a minimal band of polished gold, with engravings that reference the faux screwheads that adorn the legendary bracelet. Aldo Cipullo (1942–84), the Italian-born American jewelry designer behind the collection, cited the chastity belts of medieval lore as an inspiration. He prized the role of function in good design, and following a particularly stinging breakup, Cipullo was searching for symbols of permanent love. The Cartier Love bracelet, whose two halves could initially only be secured or removed by an accompanying gold vermeil screwdriver, was intended to be worn by one lover while his or her partner guarded the screwdriver. This subversive yet sentimental piece was conceived in Cartier’s New York mansion, instead of the maison’s Paris studio, in 1969, and in the decades since its conception, the bangle has become an incomparable international phenomenon.
The Love collection now includes earrings, necklaces, watches, cufflinks and rings. Given its rich history, the Love wedding band is truly like no other Cartier wedding ring. When the house introduced the accessory, the Cartier Love wedding band was a simple 18-karat yellow-gold band, as unembellished as the bracelet that inspired it, but subsequent versions were inlaid with diamonds and sapphires. Whether simple and elegant or luxurious and extravagant, the Love wedding band truly symbolizes enduring love in the singular and provocative way that its maker intended.
Cartier
For its extraordinary range of bracelets, watches, rings and other adornments, French luxury house Cartier is undeniably one of the most well known and internationally revered jewelers in the world among clients both existing and aspirational.
Perhaps 1847 was not the ideal time to open a new watchmaking and jewelry business, as the French Revolution was not kind to the aristocracy who could afford such luxuries. Nevertheless, it was the year Louis-François Cartier (1819–1904) — who was born into poverty — founded his eponymous empire, assuming control of the workshop of watchmaker Adolphe Picard, under whom he had previously been employed as an assistant. Of course, in the beginning, it was a relatively modest affair, but by the late 1850s, Cartier had its first royal client, Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon Bonaparte, who commissioned the jeweler to design brooches, earrings and other accessories.
Under the leadership of Louis-François’s son, Alfred, who took over in 1874, business boomed. Royalty around the world wore Cartier pieces, including Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the Maharaja of Patiala and King Edward VII, who had 27 tiaras made by the jewelry house for his coronation in 1902 and issued Cartier a royal warrant in 1904. (Today, the British royal family still dons Cartier pieces; Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, regularly sports a Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch.)
Cartier’s golden years, however, began when Alfred introduced his three sons, Louis, Pierre and Jacques, to the business. The brothers expanded Cartier globally: Louis reigned in Paris, Pierre in New York and Jacques in London, ensuring their brand’s consistency at their branches across the world. The trio also brought in such talents as Charles Jacqueau and Jeanne Toussaint.
One of Cartier’s earliest major successes was the Santos de Cartier watch — one of the world's first modern wristwatches for men. (Previously, a large number of people were using only pocket watches.) Louis designed the timepiece in 1904 for his friend, popular Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wanted to be able to check the time more easily while flying.
Cartier’s other famous timepieces include the Tank watch, which was inspired by the linear form of military tanks during World War I, and the so-called mystery clocks. Invented by watchmaker and magician Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin and later crafted exclusively for Cartier in the house’s workshop by watchmaker Maurice Couët, the mystery clocks were so named because the integration of glass dials on which the clocks’ hands would seemingly float as well as structures that are hidden away within the base give the illusion that they operate without machinery.
On the jewelry side of the business, Cartier’s internationally renowned offerings include the Tutti Frutti collection, which featured colorful carved gemstones inspired by Jacques’s trip to India and grew in popularity during the Art Deco years; the panthère motif, which has been incorporated into everything from brooches to rings; and the Love bracelet, a minimal, modernist locking bangle inspired by medieval chastity belts that transformed fine jewelry.
While the Cartier family sold the business following the death of Pierre in 1964, the brand continues to innovate today, renewing old hits and creating new masterpieces.
