The indelible imprint of the Love ring
Created in 1969 by designer Aldo Cipullo in New York, the Love collection turned traditional jewellery codes on their head by transforming the silhouette of an industrial screw into a radical, unisex symbol of attachment. This second-hand ring is a faithful reflection of this historic heritage, with a solid 18-carat pink gold setting. Reference CRB4084800 has a sleek, sculptural look. The rose gold alloy lends a distinctive warmth to the piece, while the absence of a setting focuses all the light on the clean lines imagined by the Maison Cartier.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The architecture of this ring is based on a flat profile and a width of 5.5 millimetres, emblematic dimensions of the classic model. The technical mastery is expressed in the striking contrast between the absolutely mirror-polished outer surface and the famous screw-head motifs, engraved with strict geometry into the mass of the metal. The generous, full structure of the frame ensures a perfect fall against the skin, guaranteeing undeniable density and presence when worn.
Why this second-hand ring
Acquiring this signature creation second-hand is an aesthetic and highly rational choice. The level of finishing required to achieve such a smooth finish on solid gold represents a considerable production cost today. Investing in this jewel provides access to a very satisfactory volume of precious metal, while at the same time being part of an intelligent circular economy approach, favouring the transmission of a design that has proved its worth for over 50 years.
Delivered contents and condition
The authenticity of the frame can be verified by its rigorous interior markings. These include the master hallmark guaranteeing its provenance, the official signature, the Au750 grade indication for 18-carat gold, the size 50 and the unique serial number HLS986. The brand's official workshops carried out a complete restoration in 2024, including high-precision polishing and filling, erasing all traces of previous use. This jewel is delivered with the invoice for this technical intervention and an original protective transport pouch.
