The one thing I do notice from reading all the Love bracelet "fit" threads is that maybe the shape of everyone's wrists and arms are different? Because for some of the posters, a size 17 was too big for their 6 inch wrist but others, it was a snug fit... The only reason I can think of is that even though we all measure 6", maybe some wrists and arms are more rounded in shape? I know that mine are. :rolleyes:

I had a snug fit with a 17 but the SA encouraged me to get an 18 instead. I'm glad I did...I have a MacBook and the keyboard extends out a great deal. Fortunately I'm able to push my 18 far enough up my arm to keep it from getting scratched.

The good thing about the love is that it looks chic no matter how snug or loose it fits. And when stacked, it doesn't matter!

I have WG love bracelet in size 16. And I have YG with 4 diamonds love bracelet in size 17. I worn them together. Personally I don't think it matters to me. I think they look great together even though it's two different sizes.

I have the same wrist size and the same Love size. I do think a looser fit would look a little prettier, but when you wear something 24x7 like the Love, it HAS to be comfortable and not in the way, and that is what the "tighter" fit gets you.

I went through the same thing, wishing I had perhaps gone one size larger, but now I'm totally happy with my size.

I would love to see pics of this !!! DH thinks for baby #2 we should get a second one - but I'm not sure ( so pricey and I really always thought I would only have one). But if I did get two I might want WG one size up .

Just wanted to share my experience... I was given the LOVE bracelet for Christmas and really struggled with the fit. The Cartier SAs all said I'm a 17 which will give me a fairly loose fit since I'm technically a borderline 16/17. The 16 would have been a very very snug fit which she didn't recommend (but just to illustrate that I could technically fit a size 16).

Since I wanted me to fit loose, I opted for a size 18 (which the SA was very against). The weird thing is, the size 18 doesn't go up my arm that much more than the size 17. Neither one will allow me to take them off without screws but I thought the size 18 would slide much further up in arm.

I then realized that my arm is fairly round and the 18 (and 17) goes about 2.5 inches up my arm. But on the size 18, there are room on both sides of the bracelet. So I'm exchanging it for the 17.

Just wanted to come back to share that I ended up keeping the size 18. I went to another Cartier store and the SA had two LOVE bracelets stacked and it looked great on her. She said that she originally bought the size recommended for her but after wearing it in the store for an hour, she exchanged it for one size up and have been so happy. So both of her bracelets are technically one size bigger than the Cartier recommended size and they look great stacked. She said she didn't think that the "banging" factor was that much more when you go one size up.

Funny thing is both she and another SA there both said that the 17 and 18 would both work for me but they think I'll be happier with the 18. It's funny how SAs all have different recommendations.

One thing I did want to mention... Not sure if it's the location... I go to the Beverly Hills and the Topanga Canyon stores. The SAs there said that they've been recommending the slightly looser fit (i.e. one size up) due to what they feel the customers now want. Apparently, there are a lot more who exchange for bigger sizes than the other way around. They say that most of their customers now prefer a looser fit.

So true. I was sized twice and one SA recommended a 17 and one recommended an 18. I went with the 18 and have been really happy. Enjoy yours!

From the pictures I have seen of Kristin it is very loose on her.

this thread is sooo helpful. Thanks ladies. Now my question to you all is .....

It is a personal preference and both are nice but with the WG without diamonds you have to keep in mind that it will eventually turn into more of a greyish color like actual handcuffs. Mine is YG. There is a poll on the color metal Love bracelet the ladies on here have, you can do a search for it.
