Nikki, what a great/sad situation you are in. Great you lost the weight - congrats! So sad your LOVE is much bigger. :-(
I have the perfect amount of movement in my 19. Even though 18 is my size I love the 19.
Yours seems really big on you. I'm sure the engraving won't keep you from selling. You will just gave to adjust the price down.

That looks really big, but sometimes it's hard to tell from pictures. The bottom line is, that it has to be good for you. If you can't make peace with it, find it annoying, and just simply hate wearing it, then nobody else's opinion matters. You would still be able to sell it, just not at a premium. Btw.. Congrats on loosing all that baby weight! :)

Do you guys think I could have the engraving removed at Cartier. To be honest, it is annoying and I wish the fit was more like my cuff. I love the bangle, I don't like this fit. I was around 140 pounds at the time I bought it and I am back down to pre-pregnant 105. To make matters worse, I swelled a lot. So I completely didn't think of it. So sad and confused about it. I appreciate your opinions ladies.

Yes. It is on the right. It even turns now so the screw can sit on the top of the wrist. Very annoying.

I have a 17 and my dances around quite a lot. I'm also 20lbs heavier than you so it's a great fit; I'm really happy with it. But hon if you aren't then ask Cartier if they can buff out your engraving so you can resell it! You shouldn't be sad with something that was made to represent love and an unbreakable bond.

Hi Nikki,

How Your bracelet fits and sits exactly like mine. Size 16 is snug fit for me, so I went for 17.

I'm used to them right now for the past 5 years, but I do wondering whether if I should go for 16 recently tho....

If does bother you a lot, may be you should sell it and get the right one that makes you happy.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi Nikki,
I think you can pretty easily have the engraving buffed out either at a local jewelers or at cartier:cool:

Hey ladies, I am going to ask my SA and see what I can do about the engraving. I asked DH and he said to push it up and keep. He seems to think it is bigger but looks fine. I don'tknow if I want to sell though. Maybe I will get used to it being bigger. I really appreciate the comments and suggestions. You guys are always so helpful. :D

Mine will turn like this and is even larger on my wrist. I would definitely prefer a more snug fit but I am used to it now. Mine will sit like that over my wrist all of the time. I know they have a size 15 in the JUC but every boutique I contacted said the 16 was the smallest size in the Love. I even offered to pay anything for a size 15 and they said it was not possible. See if you will get used to it and if you still do not like it, you can try to sell it.

Yea, I originally wanted a 15 also. But was bigger, and thought the 16 would work. I also didn't want to pay more for a 15. Cartier should make the 15 standard.

I think they send it back Italy and they resize it in there factory it probably would be better then selling special since it has sentimental value it can't hurt to ask your sa

I was actually just at Cartier today inquiring about a size adjustment, as the 16 is really big on me. He said they can send it out to make it a size 15 or even 14, and that it takes average 6 months. He also said that it wouldn't cost extra, but I'm not sure since you've already purchased yours.

That's great info!
Nicki - if you are really sentimental about keeping your current bracelet, (I would be :) then it would be worth the wait and cost for Cartier to send it to Italy so you can have the perfect fit. Even you want a 14 sounds like they can make it happen.

Thanks so much. I am definitely going to ask today. I was just talking to my SA the other day getting appraisals for my bracelets because I finally decided to go ahead and insure them. :D

I definitely think it would be worth the wait. I wear this bracelet daily and I plan on wearing it for at least another sixteen years. I plan on it being a gift to my daughter, so I would prefer to keep this one and not remove the engraving.

That is so cool. I love TPF, I wouldn't have known at all that this was an option. I am definitely going to call today and check into it. I will keep you ladies posted as to what they tell me just in case it helps someone else out in the same dilemma. I am sentimental about it. I engraved it and plan on giving it to my daughter. For that reason alone, DH really doesn't want me to sell it at all. And I agree with him on that. :smile1:
