Cartier Love Bracelet Sizing Thread!

[tro721]

Need advice- new to the Cartier Love bracelet. Just purchased the small Love in size 16 based on advice from my SA. I’m currently 9Ms pregnant and have gained >30lbs. My wrist is currently ~14.9cm at the bone but I’m guessing my pre-pregnancy measurement at the bone is ~14.4cm. It’s also mid-summer in south Texas, so this should be the max size of my wrist. Size 16 moves over the bone comfortably, but no further and drops about 2.5-3in below the bottom of my hand. I see lots of recommendations to size up- unfortunately I didn’t think to try the size 17. I’m thinking of sticking with 16, since my wrist is probably the largest it will be with climate and pregnancy (I had to have my Cartier Tank Must watch resized during this pregnancy with 1/2 link). Any feedback would be helpful! Thanks!!

Here are a couple pics, including a stack with original Love and small JUC:

I like closer to a 2 cm difference personally. I had a little extra weight post Covid and breaking my ankle and being stuck in bed for a couple of months; my 16s were "snug" then, and looser now and I MUCH prefer the freedom of the slightly looser fit.
Before I lost some weight my wrist was about 14.2 and it's about 13.7 now.
In all fairness I also stack 3-4 Loves and a Juc sometimes; typically I wear one or 2 less, but daily I'm wearing several.
Stacking will make the bracelets feel more snug.

I'm also in HOT Texas lol and don't love my pieces sticking.

This happens often during Winter🤦🏻‍♀️I'll only realise it due to discomfort when it goes to this weird angle🙄! Drives me nuts!
2yrs on I still wish I went with love 16 instead of 17, sad part I can't sell it due to sentimental value. Urgh☹️! Ok rant over😅!

I understand. My wrist is 12.5 cm and my VCA bracelet which is 14.5 cm rotates on my wrist. I actually do not mind that it rotates and figure that it will show wear more evenly to both sides since it rotates. I used to have a 16 Love and became used to the size and it was not bad. I only sold it because I had wished I had bought it in a different color. I now miss having a carefree bracelet on my wrist all of the time so I am planning on buying the new 15 Love when it becomes available.

Hi! Your wrist size is 12.5? Mine is too! Could you show me a picture of your love? I might have to get mine custom made to size 14.

Hi all! Really need your help… my wrist is 12cm LOL. I’m debating between a 14 (their smallest custom size) and I put in a request for a size 13 (but don’t know if they’re able to do this yet).
Trying to buy a thin love and really struggling because I can’t try on any of the sizes I would potentially be, and it will cost way more with no returns. I like a tighter fit. My wrist is weird where it stays the same circumference even 1/3 of the way down my arm. Any advice welcome!

If you want a snug fit you’ll prefer 1 cm bigger rather than 2 imo
If there’s a possibility your wrist size will fluctuate larger, or you’ll eventually stack then a 14 would be preferable imo.

Can I request to see what a 12cm wrist looks like? 😬😬 hope you’ll find a happy fit!

Hello All. Your eyes and thoughts on aesthetic would be greatly appreciated.

My right (dominant) hand measures 15 5/8 (15.625) cm around the wrist bone.

Based on sales associate recommendation, my JUC is size 17. Also based on sales associate recommendation for proper stacking, my Love (small model) is size 18. They fit very "bangle-like," which I like. For me, I would rather have them fit "bangle-like" compared to fitting tighter.

Do these look right? Do they look too large?

I think it's all personal preference!! For me, I like them to be more snug. But it's whatever you like/feels comfortable for you. Enjoy them!!!

Agree! I think the love looks great in size 18 - I too have the small model in a size 18 and I love how loose it is but it still sits nicely on my wrist! I love the JUC on you too!
