I don't regret my purchase of a YG love.
I like that I can't take it off. I feel like this piece of jewelry is more intimate for that reason.
But I think it's an individual choice. If it feels too expensive to you for that particular item, I suggest you don't buy it. Just wait until an item feels like the right one.

For me, I like to wake up and see a flash of gold on my arm. All my other jewelry I feel like I have to take off at night. This piece I can keep on guilt-free. ;-)
And it feels dressy bc it's gold, but it still looks casual. I'm hard on my jewelry but I'm very careful with this bracelet. You can buy an arm band to cover it while doing any house work if you want to. If you like your jewelry to be perfect, and scratch-free, no the love won't stay that way. But nor will any piece of shiny gold jewelry.

If you are unsure, just wait. See what else you might like. :-)

Should love bracelet and cuff be the same size? If you have a 16 bracelet should you also get 16 cuff or 17 because of the slight fit difference?

Thanks for any help! :smile1:

It depends on your wrist - if it's more oval or round. I have the cuff and when I tried on I tried both in size 16 next to each other. Both are the same width (~2.5 inches for a size 16), but the bracelet has a bigger depth than the cuff. So the bracelet looks more round, while cuff looking more oval. Hope I am making sense. I felt the bracelet can easily turn sideways on my wrist while the cuff rests tightly right. Some people go up on a cuff size because the opening is about 2cm and they felt easier to get it on with a bigger size. HTH

Thank you! Yes, you make perfect sense. I am debating on whether I should stick with the size 16 cuff or exchange for the 17. I have a size 16 bracelet and purchased the 16 cuff because that's what fit me originally but it doesn't move on my wrist, I can move it but it won't move by itself whereas my bracelet in size 16 moves freely (I hope I am making sense). So when I have them both on, the cuff is stationary and makes my bracelet a bit uncomfortable because it can't move freely. I'm thinking because when I tried the 16 cuff on it was before I had my 16 bracelet. I have to go to the store and try it but it's hard because I am trying to make sure they don't bang each other. Ugh. :smile1:

Glad to help, or more so confirming what you already know :p

I think if I were ever add on a bracelet to my cuff, I will have to go with the bracelet in 16 (or special order a 15? LOL) But I do think I'd wear them on separate wrists or days. I did not particularly liked stacking a cuff and a bracelet. They just don't flow together like 2 bracelets would. Why don't you buy another bracelet? Just a thought. I wanted to have a cuff because of its practicality and the fact that it's fitting smaller. But if I had a mind of owning multiple and stacking them, I'd start with a bracelet and builds on that. The bracelet collection is just much ampler.

Hi all! :) I'm new to the jewelry forum so apologies if this question has already been answered. I have a VERY tiny wrist, I don't know the exact size but I remember when I got a Michael Kors watch the stock women's size was so big they had to take out 7 links. So I went into cartier and the 16 love bracelet was huge. The lady told me that they could custom make it smaller, but I'm not sure how I feel about paying the same price for a much smaller, and with less gold, bracelet. What do you guys think? Have any of you done this? TIA for the info!

No regrets at all! I have had mine for about 2 years now..it was an expensive purchase and very few people where I live even know what it is. (I think I have had 2 people recognize and comment on it ever). But I still LOVE it! (Pun intended). I love that you never take it off so you are always "dressed".
