So I think I have a semi- loose fit and wondered often and obsessively if 2 sizes up would have been better. But overall have decided to be happy with it since for 24/7 wear the semi loose is more practical and more just apart of me now than I think very loose would be. Plus definitely it is the way Cartier had intended and it - and what many say makes it unique ( the fitted style）

Anyways very personal choice as many have said - and I am stuck with mine since it was given to me to celebrate our first born with a beautiful engraving. But definitely good motivation to never gain weight as I do like the wiggle room I have now - not sure if I would like it fitted nearly as much. (. Which could be reason to get it 2sizes loose)

Also I use to be worried because it always leaves little dents in my arm from the screws, so I thought that meant it was too tight - but apparently the newer designs have the screws stick out more. Per SA.

I posted this on another thread, but I was at Cartier today, and I mentioned that I wonder if I should have gone bigger, and she was adamant that mine fits perfectly, and it isn't suppose to fit like a bangle. So, I will try to embrace my fit!

I have the Love Cuff and bought the size that the SA recommended.
It fits just right. In general I like my bracelets to fit alittle tighter.
A loose fit drives me crazy!

Well, some of you know my story, but for the sake of those that may not have read through what I did, this is how it happened:
I went to Cartier last year and got fitted for a size 17 for my right wrist. I didn't think to measure for my left.
My SO and I decide we want to exchange Love bracelets as our 6 year anniversary celebration. My SO says that I should keep the wg one, and that he will buy it for/from me, since I already found the perfect bracelet, why search for another one? He is right, so I keep it off of my wrist, and I give it to him for safekeeping.
I find a bracelet for him on Ebay, and we had sized him for a 19. When the bracelet arrives, it isn't the right fit at all! I was so mad. I couldn't return the bracelet; it was "no returns". His wrist is not oval, it is more round, so I ended up selling that bracelet on Ebay, and we went straight to Cartier and I bought him a 20 in yg. They didn't even have his size in stock! We had to get it sent to us.
We do a bracelet exchange in April, 5 months before our 6 year anniversary, which was pretty cool, since now we have a new date to celebrate!
I try wearing it on the left again, and after about a week or so, I have to switch it back to my right. Holding my wrists up to each other, I can SEE the difference in size! It was a 1/4" difference. So yea, and 18 would have been the right size for my left wrist. I am now frustrated, because I really want this on my left wrist, since we exchanged these as commitment/engagement gifts. But, I can't exchange or return it...
Well, one day I was on Ebay, and the person that I had bought Cartier from, had a size 19 wg bracelet for sale. I impulsively sent her a message, asking her if she was willing to swap my 17 for her 19. After a bunch of email back and forth, two weeks later I get the 19! I like having one size looser than recommended, especially after going through this hot hot summer witht he 17 sticking to me.
So, I prefer one size bigger then recomended. :)
I drove my SO crazy with my quest for the right size Cartier, but now I am FINALLY happy with what I have!!!

Hi!

I am looking at all the modeling photos here as well as the celebs thread. Some prefer it loose and others prefer it tighter (moves within say 2 inches around the wrist bone).

Personally I like all my bracelet to fit a bit snug. I like how they look that way and feel more comfortable with less movement.

So I wondered.. How do you like it to fit? Just for fun :p

I am unsure what I prefer...but when I got my bracelet, I opted for a loose fit. Ideally I would have purchased a size 17.5 but alas, it does not exist! I went for the 18, and the bracelet can go move up my arm about 3 inches from the wrist bone (or about 1/3 of the way of my arm).


For reference I have a 6.1 inch wrist (or 15.5 cm).

I'd appreciate if others could list their wrist size and love bracelet.

I don't have a Love bracelet but I'm planning to get one very soon. I prefer a snug fit, and I hope size 16 will not be too loose on my wrist cuz I have such tiny wrists and size 16 is the smallest available.

Does anyone know how the size 16 Love bracelet compares to the Hermes H Clic Clac in PM?

I wear mine loose but I wish it were more snug, and it is more apparent now that I moved my love from my right to left wrist. I got a size 17 but think I should've gone with the 16!

Actually that is me too! I got it quite loose and wish I could go one tighter now.

I wear two loves, both size 16. They are pretty loose cause I have small wrists and slide pretty far up. However, I like it loose and have been wearing loves for six years now. I think in order to get a size 15, you have to special order. As far as the Hermes clic clacs, they are a little bigger but I still pair them with the loves sometimes, they just may slide over the loves - I don't mind them overlapping. On another note, I just got a single row diamond pave bracelet from DeBeers that is the exact same size as the size 16 love and looks amazing stacked! Tiffany's has a similar one too in their Metro line.
