Hi there! I actually had to switch the arm. I had it on the right but I couldn't get use to it (full disclaimer though I have issues with that arm, I wear a brace sometimes at work because of using the computer too much). It is fine on the left but sometimes I'll have to move it at night. Got use to it for the most part :smile: I have the tank watch and I get annoyed wearing it on the left with my watch and ring but will have to just deal with that.

Have you tried the bracelet on!?

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes I tried it on while on vacation a few months ago and then tried it try it on again at a store local to me but they'd only let me let lay the top part over my wrist to see how it looked, so I couldn't really assess fit. :hrmm:

Hello! I just have a quick question. I just got a love bangle but had the confusion as to whether choose the size 16 or the 17. My wrist size is 15 cm. I got the 16 but I think I made the wrong decision. The 16 feels snuggle but I don't know if I have enough room for another swollen pregnancy, but the size 17 had a lot of movement back and forth. Anyone felt this way? Regrets? If you could exchange it, would you? TIA

I'm currently going through this right now. My wrist is 16cm but 17 feels like it will drive me nuts but the 18 has a decent amount of room. I'm leaning towards the larger size as I don't like tight jewelry at all, so it's for sure personal preference. Let us know what you decide. Good luck!

Thank you for your response! I did not exchange it for the size 17. I went to the store to try it once more and it is a big difference.

This is how my love bracelet looks like on me. It's too big right? I bought it online as there are no boutiques near me.

It's in size 16 and my wrist is 13.5cm .

Does it look ok or should I accept that this bracelet is unfortunately not for me? 20170207_150852.jpeg

I see what you mean, I always like the idea of a love bracelet that actually fits around my wrist, and mine are too small for even their smallest size so I have decided to forget about it. That being said, I think they do look nice worn like yours, I've noticed plenty of people wearing them like that, especially if they layer with other jewelry. If you are happy with it and the price you paid I think it looks lovely on you, but if it's not what you want then don't keep it. I believe 16 is the smallest they are making in that style, then there's the thinner style that they go down to 15 in... I unfortunately size to be a 14 although I am curious now to try a skinny one on in a 15...

Have you considered the cuff instead of the bracelet? It fits different than the bracelet, I'm a size 16 in the bracelet but a size 17 in the cuff. So maybe a size 16 cuff would fit better on you? I know, if you love the bracelet, the cuff might feel like second best and it's still a lot of money. Lots of luck with your decision!

I personally like this look, but ultimately it's up to you if you'd prefer a size smaller. AFAIK you can special order a regular Love in size 15 but there's a 30% (I think) surcharge.

30% surcharge for less gold in weight? No way! [emoji24]

I do like this look now but it wasn't what I was expecting when I purchased it.

The thinner style looks very nice as well!

You know what I was considering the cuff but thought that it'll move around too much. I thought that the bracelet would be a more secure fit and move aroubd less... guess I was wrong!

I second that you should try the cuff. It fits quite snugly compared to the bangle. My wrist measures 14.5cms and I have been wearing a size 17 cuff 24/7 since last September. It's very comfortable and doesn't move around much at all. The size 16 cuff may be perfect for you. I'll find a pic to give you an idea on fit!

I've just checked, and the furthest it can move up my arm (toward my elbow) is approx 1inch from my wrist bone. This is after I have removed my baby trinity which normally stops it moving toward my elbow at all!
Hope this helps :)
That said, a lot of people do like to wear them looser more like a bangle, it just depends which you prefer!

it does look big, this is how 16 looks on my wrist. my store did have the 15 for me to try on to compare, and it's significantly smaller with has a lot less movement. She was joking that a 15.5 would be perfect. The SA said if i intent on stacking then go with the 15, but if i only intend on having one bracelet, then go with 16. Although, I was really only trying on the love for size comparison to the JUS, which is the one I'm after. it also fits quite big.:sad:
