Hello, one of my birthday presents has been a love bangle, but I have doubts about the size. It is size 18, the man in Cartier shop said 17 is perhaps too small, that in summer it will be too thight. And I hesitate, I think this bangle has to be not as big as others. My hand (I don´t know the name where the bangle goes) measure around 16,3. Could anybody help me? thanks and sorry for my english.

congrats on your love bangle.

if your wrist measures 16.3cm, i would think a size 17 should be sufficient for you. does the 18 go up really high on your arm, like almost up to your elbow? mine fits perfectly but isn't too tight. it sits on my wrist nicely but i can still swivel it all the way around without any problems, but yet it doesn't go high up my arm, which would bug me.

you could go into cartier and try on different sizes. they have sizers for their love bangles—similar to sizers for rings—so you can determine how exactly it will fit. don't listen to the SA in the store, you need to go by how you feel and if it feels too big, then go for the size 17. not only that, for me, even in the summer, my wrists don't swell, only my fingers. so imo, that only applies to rings, not necessarily bracelets. but i could be wrong. :shrugs:

Perfect advice right there, :goodpost:
 
I've been wearing a size 17 for just over a month. It slides up 3 inches from where my hand and top of wrist join. Any smaller would be too uncomfortable. I tried the 16 but it rubbed on the bone at base of hand. The 18 would be huge. I use to think 16 and 1/2 would be perfect which obviously they don't make. But I'm extremely happy with the 17 even with the scratches! LOL!
