Who Wears the Cartier Love Bracelet?

Oh, the Cartier Love Bracelet: a universally coveted piece of jewelry, not just for its appearance, but because of the meaning behind it, the fairy tale that someday you will experience a romance so eternal, you'll actually screwdrive a symbol of it onto your wrist.

The Love Bracelet, which usually sells for 00 or above, was created in 1969 byAldo Cipullo, who said, "Love has become too commercial, yet life without love is nothing – a fat zero. What modern people want are love symbols that look semi-permanent – or, at least, require a trick to remove. After all, love symbols should suggest an everlasting quality."

A glimpse at the famous couples over the years that exemplified the bracelet Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw, Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti all bound themselves together with Love for a lifetime (for some). These couples professed their inability to live without one another, tattooed in yellow gold. Current celebrities that wear the Love include Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie, Pippa Middleton, Jennifer Aniston and Scarlett Johansson.
