Cuff! I have two and haven’t regretted choosing them over the full bracelet versions at all. I love the flexibility of being able to take them on and off when I want. Plus, you still get all the look of the full Love but at a much better price point! View attachment 4776336

they look great on you! I was curious if it would be a fit issue if weight loss happens, would the cuff fall off vs the regular would just slide around?

Thank you! The cuff definitely shouldn’t fall off, the opening is very narrow and you have to loop it on to your wrist in such a way to get it on that I can’t imagine it falling off. I guess if you lost a dramatic amount of weight then it could be at risk of being too loose.
 
The thing is that the cuff does not have that may options.

Another question here: Do cuff and regular have the same sizing in order to stack them? I feel that this is of particular importance as they should not come above each other .... happend to me on two regulars of the exact same size which obviously can damage the rims.

I’ve never owned the regular but if stacking cuff with regular I heard that you should choose the regular in a size smaller than the cuff as the cuff comes up smaller. Both my cuffs are a size 18 so if I wanted to add a regular I would need a 17.

Cannot believe that. First the regulars need to come larger than standard bracelets by 1 to 1.5 (cm). This would mean the cuffs should even be larger again? Does not make sense to me. Second, if they are of different sizes they definitely will come across each other resulting in massive scratching.

No, it’s true. The cuff is tighter. I wear an 18 in the bangle and when I tried on the cuff, I needed a 19. The 18 would not fit, it was far too tight.

someone did a comparison and stacked the cuff on top of a regular bangle and it indeed showed that the cuff needed a size up. Unfortunately, I can’t remember which thread it was in. A 19 cuff matches an 18 bangle, they will not cross over.

I believe that is what the SAs recommend,
as I said I can’t speak from personal experience. Remember that they effectively wouldn’t be of different sizes as the cuff comes up small, so in the example I gave a size 18 cuff would have the same fit as a size 17 full bracelet. I’m sure someone who owns both will be able to comment on the fit :)

This is what I always understood too.
 
I'll be at a Cartier tomorrow and will check in person. Kinda interesting
Pleass report back, it would be good to know officially either way! My dream is to add a thin Love with diamonds (literally a dream sadly!), if my guess is correct I would need a 17 to be able to stack it with my size 18 cuffs.
Here you go. Post #541:
