Cartier Love Bracelet Pave Sizing

[Goyardorgohome]

Both look very good on you! The YG pave is my dream bracelet I’m currently saving for. I say get the smaller one.

Can you share a photo? I wound up buying the 16 but quickly regretting my decision as it looks huge on me and spins freely on its own, so im waiting for them to order the 15 to exchange. Oiy.

That's exactly how I felt with the 17. However I am not much help to you as I went with 16 with a 14.5 cm wrist. I do note that the 16 rests half way down your arm as well as fully on your hand which would totally drive me nuts. The 15 still moves a fair distance down your arm before stopping, so that's a good sign it will work for you. At least you are in USA (I think) so you can return if it doesn't.

My wrist is 14 cm and I have full pavè Love bracelet white gold in size 15.

Pic for reference please? Happy New Year!

I had the same "problem" as you and decided Love wasn't for me (until they make half sizes). If I had to choose though I'd go for size 16 - better too loose than even slightly too tight! Plus, the screws leave indents.

Indeed it’s a first world problem lol I wound up going for the 16 but of course now I’m thinking exchange for 15 but it literally spins on my wrist.

The spinning would bother me. Does it do that easily? My 16 love can spin, but only if I manually do so. If I really flick my wrist I can make it spin I guess, but not all the way around. Just halfway so it makes an oval. Picture of it after I flicked my wrist quite hard.

What did you end up doing? The pave is such a special piece!

I personally like the look of the 16. We are pendant twins. You have to factor in swelling, changing side to dominant wrist (naturally larger), and weather. I have lost weight, and I actually wear a 18 (I'm now a size 0). They don't fall off. Plus, you may naturally gain weight. You never know. I'm always team larger. The YG is gorgeous. Pave vs. full diamond Bulgari serpenti on my wishlist for sure.

What size is your wrist? mine is exactly 14 cm .. all valid points regarding the 16 I think im just not used to it.

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.

Yes I wish they made half sizes...

Oh interesting that you pivoted away from the full pave Love - just for comfort reasons?

yes but I went back to it lol I purchased the 16

I still like the full pavé on you ....guess I am biased!

Me too, nothing else compares, I came back to it, purchased the 16 but now thinking I should exchange for the 15 it keeps turning and driving me mad! Ughhh

If you have to give the size 15 a little push/tug to get bracelet below your wrist bone then you need a size 16 Or the 15 would keep getting stuck and not be able to fall naturally to your wrist/palm.

that's exactly what happens, I got the 16 it honestly seems huge, maybe ill get used to it

This sounds a bit silly but have you tried swapping the two sizes on your wrists? The reason I ask is because my size 16 love fits differently on either wrist because my right is ever so slightly bigger, and therefore the bracelet fits tighter on that one.

yes the 16 works slightly better on my dominant arm (right) since it's a tad meatier but would prefer to wear on my non dominant (left)

oh you are the perfect size! if only I had half a centimeter more circumference lol.. stay tuned I should be getting the 15 this week!

yeah it turns a little too easily, any movement on my arm and its sitting lopsided like that. I think yours looks like the right fit, im waiting for them to order the 15 to exchange !
