Is it the same as the non-pave love bracelet? Or is it like the JUC where you have to buy a different size?

Does anyone here with a 14cm wrist own the love pave bracelet? I tried on in store and the 15 seems a bit snug while the 16 is rather loose. I’m so conflicted. Please help. I have never owned the traditional love bracelet, only the cuff— which I have in size 16 and it’s perfect, but it fits much differently. Anyway it’s been a decade and I’m ready to upgrade. I adore this piece I just don’t know what size to go for. Small wrist ladies what would you do?
You’re wearing them so prettily. Are those YG? I think you wear YG perfectly.
My wrist bone is 14cm. Thinnest part is 13.xcm. Cuff16. Love15 and 16(sm).
I am team snugfit so I like how 15 fits on you. But if you plan to stack, or change wrist (if your other arm is dominant that may be slightly bigger) then 16 may be more safe?

Yes it's YG! Thank you for the kind words and feedback. I don't want to stack it with other bangles since it's such a standout piece. I was planning to pair with my VCA 5 motif. I did think the 15 looked more like "me" while the 16 I felt looks like I'm wearing my mothers jewelry lol. It's so big from what I'm used to. My cuff is 16 and I also have a love sm in 15. But yes my dilemma is then I would need to commit to wearing only on my left because it would be uncomfortable on the right (dominant) hand. Ahhh.
Both look beautiful and the 16 does not look too big in my opinion. If it were me, I would go 16 because then it is more versatile and not uncomfortable in hot or warm weather. I too have super small wrists, measuring about 13.75" so I understand the dilemma of not wanting a bracelet too big but the 15 when it slides of you arm looks a bit snug to me (1st pic) and there is not hardly any wiggle room. I would worry that it might be too tight when there is any swelling or if you pair with another bracelet. Good luck with your decision and it is certainly a great choice on you!
As long as it doesn't feel too tight I think the snug fit looks better on you. However, if it feels constrictive, I'd go for the looser fit. Personally, I like the comfort of looser fit but since you're not going to wear it 24-7 I think you can go either way.
Gorgeous choice. I personally enjoy a tighter fit and like to feel like my stack is a part of me, so if I was you I would do 15. But I think it’s really personal preference. Idk if there are cheap knock off love bracelets you can buy and wear for a while then toss to see what sizing you prefer but that might be a good option. If it’s summer where you are, I would do the 15 since we swell more in the summer (or so I’ve heard) and the 15 will likely fit a bit looser in the winter.
The number of diamonds differ across these 2 sizes, the Size 15 uses fewer (but could be slightly larger diamonds) compared to Size 16 - which in my opinion, has a more balanced layout of the pave setting and screw motif. It's really down to a personal preference; both are great choices for you!
After studying your photos I can see your dilemma. This is a big investment and I completely understand that you are struggling with a decision. I would choose the 16. It seems a bit loose but the 15 looks too snug and personally that would drive me crazy in hot weather.
Good luck with your decision!
Good luck with your decision!
You are wearing the larger on your R hand right? So on your left it will look and feel even bigger. When you put your hands down is when the smaller might look a little snugger. I personally do not like when bangles go down my hand when my hand is down. For me I wish they made 16.5cm, but I went for the 17 because I like the option to stack. Good luck.
You wear both of them so well! Personally I would be choosing the size 16 for its fit because I love a slightly looser bracelet that moves up and down versus a snug fit.
As the other posters said, it is about personal preference. I think it might be worth going back and trying the size 15 on your right hand to see if that's comfortable (and where you normally wear your bracelets)? Do you live in a hot climate where you need to have a bit more give in sizing? Would you want the flexibility of swapping which hand you wear it on?
What an exciting decision to be making though! Please show us when you decide!!
