Hi Ladies!

I am trying to decide between a 16 and 17 Love, and wanted to get your opinions on how you like to wear your Love. Do you prefer it to be loose, or fit tighter? The 17 goes halfway up my arm, which is nice, but my concern is that it will get banged around quite a bit while typing. I haven't tried a 16 yet.

If anyone has any pics, that would be very helpful!

I am totally in between too! I tried the 16 and for me it felt perfect and the 17 felt like a bangle which I thought would annoy me if I'm wearing it 24/7. That being said, I don't know how it will be once I get it. Curious to hear others' opinions.

My personal technique is, hold your Love wearing arm up in a vertical position. See how it drops down naturally, don't pull it down....if the space between your end of your hand/palm to where the bracelet drops equals about a height of your other hand's fist....then it's perfect.

My wrist measures 16.5 cm so I thought I would be fine in the 17 because I was hoping for a close fit.

The SA said it was too snug and that we should go for the 18, which we did.

I am really happy to have mine-especially since it has the old style screws-but I wish I had gotten the 17.

This 18 slides all over the place-I would have prefered the 17 and should have stuck to my idea of a close fit .

Maybe my next one will be a 17 !

I'm glad someone asked this because I was wondering too - have found a preowned yellow gold one in mint condition for a reasonable price and am seriously considering buying it soon if it is still available. As it is preowned it comes in one size - 16 - but I wasn't sure I should opt for a looser fit. My wrists are very small and a 16 would be comfortable but close fit. I wasn't sure if I should opt for something a little looser like a 17 but it aounds like a tighter fit might be the way to go.

So I had the same problem with the 17 - it felt like a bangle. My only concern is...what if I gain weight and then the 17 doesn't fit? :cry:

My wrist is 15cm...maybe I can get away with the 16 then? I appreciate your feedback!

I would say it's on the looser side but I wouldn't say it's loose (if that makes sense). I snapped a couple of pictures with my phone ~ I hope this helps! The second picture is how the far bracelet falls when I hold my arm vertical.

I think this is perfect advice. I couldn't stand having a bigger bangle going up and down my wrist every day! Mine is a 16 and so far I love the size, it goes almost half way down my wrist. I can push it out of the way and be comfortable..like right now while I am typing! I think the beauty of the bangle is the close fit, when I've seen women in person with the love bangles and it being too loose I feel like it doesn't work look wise, it loses the lux look a bit. I'd go and try the smaller size first!:smile1:

If your weight goes up and down then maybe it's a concern?? Where do you gain weight? I've pretty much always been the same size, but when I have gained a few pounds, it doesn't show in my arms/wrists.

Have you tried the bracelet yet? When I tried them it it seemed clear that the 16 was the right one. I think if you try them both, you'll know!
