The Object: Cartier Reimagines the Love Bracelet in Colour
Few jewellery designs are as instantly recognisable as Cartier’s LOVE bracelet. Now, the maison introduces six new interpretations that bring colour to the iconic collection through pink sapphires, blue sapphires, tsavorite garnets and brilliant-cut diamonds. Some designs replace the signature screw motifs entirely with pavé-set gemstones, while others incorporate carefully graduated coloured stones, offering a fresh and more expressive take on one of jewellery’s most enduring creations.

Elegant, intuitive and highly personal, Oura Ring 5 represents the next evolution of wearable wellbeing.
