The Love Bracelet (styled L⊝Ve, with the horizontal line inside the letter "O" alluding to the bracelet's locking mechanism) is a piece of jewelry for designed in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo for Cartier SA. The bracelet quickly became popular for its intentional resemblance in function to medieval chastity belts. The earlier bracelets were gold plated, while more recent examples are solid gold. Cartier (as of 2014) continues to make the bracelets, and has since created other products based on the original bracelet's design, including cufflinks, rings, earrings, necklaces, and watches, expanding the design into a jewelry line. ==The locking mechanism== Unlike traditional bracelets, which are either wide enough to slip them over the hand onto the wrist or can readily be opened in order to put them on, the Love bracelet is designed to be opened only by using a special screwdriver that is supplied with every bracelet. The screwdriver is also available in the form of a necklace, allowing the bracelet to be "locked" onto one person, while the "key" is kept around the neck of another, as a symbol for their commitment to their relationship. The screwdriver does not act as a secure key, however. The Love bracelet can actually be opened with any standard slotted screwdriver. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Love bracelet (Cartier)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
