Love The idea for the Love bracelet– a sleek band that is tightly secured to the wearer’s wrist by individually-turning screws– came to Aldo Cipullo while he still worked for Tiffany, according to scholar Vivienne Becker for Phillips. He took the concept with him to Cartier and quickly launched it. The minimalist design perfectly aligned with the changing trends of the 1970s, as well as a growing movement to democratize jewelry for everyday wear.
