One wouldn\u2019t expect an iconic fashion statement to have roots in construction work, and yet, for over 40 years now, Cartier<\/a>\u2019s utilitarian-inspired accessories\u2014namely, the Love<\/a> and the Juste un Clou<\/a> collections\u2014have reigned supreme. Aldo Cipullo, the luxury brand\u2019s jewelry designer, was the genius behind the simple, iconic pieces.<\/p>\n

Cipullo was not just a jewelry designer; he was an avid observer of the world around him, and he was so inspired by life\u2019s minute details that he channeled his creativity into some of the most popular jewelry collections<\/a> in history.<\/p>\n

The Cartier Juste un Clou bracelet, the iconic Love bracelet\u2019s younger and easier-to-remove sister, was inspired by the humble nail. Released in 1971, the bracelet was steadily in line with Cipullo\u2019s minimalist, androgynous style and the designer\u2019s professed love for all things nuts, bolts and screws.<\/p>\n

In 2012, to commemorate Cartier\u2019s 165th<\/sup> anniversary, the brand opened an exhibit at the Cartier Maison on Fifth Avenue. The focal point of the exhibit was Cipullo\u2019s work, set against a backdrop of New York City in the 1970s. To add to the glamor of the evening, Cartier released an entire collection based on the Juste un Clou bracelet.<\/p>\n

The new Juste un Clou collection was comprised of rings and bracelets shaped like gracefully bent nails, like the original, but with a modern twist. They were made available in rose, white, and yellow gold, and some models were outfitted with pav\u00e9 diamonds set into the \u201chead\u201d of the nail.<\/p>\n

2017 saw Cartier expand the incredibly successful original collection to include earrings, cufflinks and a torque necklace. The most recent iterations are available in rose, white, and yellow gold. Some designs are available with pav\u00e9 diamonds studding the entire piece, as well. In addition to that, the bracelet line has been updated to include thicker designs and a winding wrap design.<\/p>\n
