The Cartier Love Bracelet has been popular since the 1960's, when its designer modeled it after legendary chastity belts, said to have been bolted to wives' waists when their husbands went away--to keep the wives faithful. The Love Bracelet comes with a tiny screwdriver to bolt it onto the wrist, signifying a committed relationship. Cartier just introduced a new twist for the original bracelet, the Love Charity Bracelet, a knotted silk bracelet in several colors. Each silk bracelet holds a miniature, pink gold bracelet at its front. Silk colors represent the charity that a portion of proceeds will be donated to and each charity is sponsored by a celebrity. Sarah Jessica Parker, Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, Ashley Judd, Spike Lee and several others are involved in the project.Photo © Cartier

I love the charity bracelets. The look is updated. I would pick contemporary over classic any day.
It amuses me that the symbolism behind the original Love Bracelet is pretty much on par with that of a collar and lock as used on a submissive in BDSM culture, and yet this is so mainstream and considered sweet and romantic in a vanilla context.
Well it depends to where the money ends up. do you research first. Unfourtenately, I know that the money raised for a good cause ends up in the wrong hands in this case!!!!
This bracelet is horrible! It takes FOREVER to put on. I hate it. I think any man who thinks of giving this as a gift obviously doesn’t love his girlfriend.
Well if you don’t want yours Lyndsay I’ll happily re-home it lol. I think it’s a beautiful classic look.
Hellooo everyone…………
It’s the most gorgeous and meningful piece of jewellery any girl could ever own!!
I just got the white gold /diamond one as a 20th anniversay gift and i dun intend to take it out for the next 20!!
Luv it to Death!!
I want one soo much!! (Saving for it!!) They’re beautiful and wearing it shows support to others who know what the charities are and are fighting for a charity themselves like cancer or aids. It shows you aren’t alone and also makes a constant reminder to help those in need and remember the charity that you donated too.
I JUST RECEIVED A FOREVER LOVE BRACELET FOR MY BIRTHDAY. MY HUSBAND AND I PUT IT ON TOGETHER. WHAT A SWEET WAY OF SHOWING TWO HEARTS JOINED AS ONE! EVERY TIME I LOOK DOWN IT REMINDS ME THAT LOVE IS FOREVER WITH THAT SPECIAL ONE FOR BETTER, OR WORSE! COMMITMENT COMES FROM THE HEART, BUT A SPECIAL REMINDER IS WONDERFUL.
