Hubby is thinking of buying me a love bracelet
It is beautiful.
Was wondering which hand you were yours on? Is the cuff better or the bangle? And I'm not sure whether to go for gold or rose gold. Any thoughts on this?
Does this bangle age well? How long have you had yours?

How do I figure out which is the best size for me? I don't want it to be too tight that it would be uncomfortable to sleep with? Also, how do you do vat back in Italy? I'm assuming you would wear the bracelet in the store but don't you need it to be brand new and unused in order to claim vat back?

The last time I went into cartier they had a sizer (like the ones for rings where you can try a bunch of different sizes) so I'd recommend going in and seeing what size you're most comfortable with! :)

I went in today and tries 16 and 17.
Are your wrists on both arms the same size?
Do you wear yours on your left wrist or right? Why?

So the 16 fit (is that the smallest size?) but I wished for more wiggle room. I can't do a 360 with the 16. The 17 though is a lot bigger and can do a full turn easily so definitely more of a bangle. The lady said 16 is definitely the right size. Do you get used to it tho? Is it supposed to be almost fitted?
16- It does not pass my wrists bone towards my hand. Is that normal?

I think it depends on how loose you want it. I have a 16 and it does a 360 and can go over my wrist. I would prefer it a little smaller but that is my preference. I wear mine on my left arm because I am right-handed and do not want to damage it more than normal.

I wonder which wrist side is smaller. ?Your left or yr right. Id be looking for my smaller wrist with the 16 if you finding it too fitting. Wow the 17 is much looser?

Same as fingers, Rings are tighter on one side then the other..

Sales lady said a 16 is perfect for me but it did not go above my wrist bone. It was not tight otherwise and I would say perfect fit if not for the fact that it doesn't move above my wrist bone.
I could not do a 360 with it.

The 17 however felt too big... It would rotate without me having to turn it.
Definitely could do a 360. I didn't take pics.

Is it supposed to be very fitted? I'm worried about sleepong in it and what if I get fatter as I get older?

Hi myztic! I was torn between 16 and 17, and ended up with 17 because I was advised that the bracelet should pass my writs bone towards my hand. I have a big wrist bone. As a result, I felt uncomfortable when the bracelet passed my wrist bones. If I had purchased 16 it might have been more comfortable because it tended to stay. I could do a 360 with the 17 without problem. Apparently, 17 looked rather loose fit on me, but I sold it off to get 18. 18 would be very very loose especially on my left arm(smaller), but I must take into consideration my big wrist bones!!!;)

Good luck! If you cannot convince the bracelet is your size, you will be not able to stop thinking about it...

I personally like it to be able to only do a 360 if I put effort into it. The bigger one was too noticeable when I wore it. Could feel I was wearing a bracelet where the smaller one I don't even notice I am wearing it, even when typing or cleaning
