About Forstner Established in 1920 in Irvington, New Jersey, the Forstner jewelry company stands as a timeless American jewelry firm. Although the company produced a few distinct jewelry items, its primary emphasis was on crafting accessories for watches, including chains, straps, and bracelets. In 1939 the company invented a novel strap design called Komfit. This design became a part of the most significant inventions of the 20th century. Forstner’s watch strap had a dynamic buckle and clasp system that could smoothly adjust along the length of the strap and lock securely into place once the needed fit was achieved. This distinctive clasping mechanism permitted precise resizing and continues to be employed in the contemporary Komfit reissue. As to the jewelry pieces, Forstner was primarily known for snake and gaspipe, or tubogas, motifs. In 1980, the corporation ceased operations, making all Forstner jewelry rare and highly desirable for collectors. Today, the company is reviving vintage watches that have long been discontinued by introducing precisely executed reissues of historic watches and bracelets.

Cartier by Cipullo Love Bracelet

Cartier by Cipullo Love Bracelet

By Aldo Cipullo for Cartier

Located in Beverly Hills, CA

Being a symbol of commitment, a Love bracelet was designed as a minimalistic piece in 1969 and was bound to become iconic. The Cartier Love bracelet is supposed to be put on by someone who mutually loves you. Two screws on both sides hold the bracelet together to represent locked in feelings.  The gold Love bracelet looks very neat. It has a perfect width, it's shiny yet classic and elegant. It's a perfect Cartier bracelet that suits anyone's taste.  This particular Love bracelet is signed by Love bracelet designer Aldo Cipullo. It's from 1970s and that's why it has both signatures, the Cartier and Cipullo. This Love bracelet is size 19 (will fit up to 7" wrist). Comes with a screwdriver. About Aldo Cipullo Aldo Cipullo is mostly known as a creator of the famous Cartier Love bracelet. However, he designed several iconic pieces, and his talent was appreciated by David Webb and Tiffany & Co. His father was a costume jewelry maker, and Aldo worked as an apprentice at one of his workshops. But Cipullo’s ambition went further than Italy where he was born. After he turned 23, he moved to New York to study at The School of Visual Arts. In 1969 Aldo Cipullo started to work for Cartier, and his glorious journey began. Very soon after Cipullo came up with the idea of Cartier Love bracelet. The new design made a big splash in the jewelry world. It was a completely new perspective of the classic look. There is a story behind creating Love bracelet. It says Cipullo was heartbroken at that time after a failed love affair. He wanted to lock in his memories as it was all he had left. Being fascinated by industrial features of New York City and all things hardware, he drew his first draft of the bracelet. Another emblematic piece by Cipullo called Juste en Clou (Just a Nail) came up in 1971. The minimalist, wrapped around nail-looking gold bracelet was a great success. Today the yellow gold, rose gold and white gold Cartier Nail...
