Popularity contest
Cartier’s Love Bracelet made headlines in January, when it was revealed that “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” cast member Kylie Jenner had been stuck in one of the bracelets for four years, unable to unscrew it from her wrist. Prior to this, the reality star was often seen wearing armfuls of the bangles.
Cartier’s symbol of undying affection was originally sported by celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren as a way to show their connection to their significant others, according to Town & Country. Today, the accessory gets a boost from famous personalities including Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson.
The classic charm of Cartier's Love Bracelets keeps the bangles in high demand in resale (see story).
The number one most searched for women’s jewelry item is the engagement ring, with more than 14 million queries per month. Tiffany engagement rings in particular receive 86,630 searches a month, making them the most researched women’s ring.
