So after years of lusting and saving for the Love I finally had a chance to pop into the store and try it on with the intention of buying it that day! However when I tried on the sizing I am so torn between which one to go with.

Size 15- love how it looks around my wrist, it doesn’t rotate by itself, it does not leave indents and doesn’t slide up and down a lot. However, I am concerned if I gain weight (I am 21), if I swell up a lot in summer that it might get uncomfortable.


Size 16- it is a lot more loose, travels up and down my arm a fair bit especially above my wrist bone, if I gain weight or swell up then it will still fit me.

I’m really surprised about how different the two look and the sizing!

(Sorry about the terrible image quality the lighting was quite dark ahaha)

To be honest, the 16 also looks great on you. I went a size up and am happy it’s not tighter when I go to the gym and sweat. If you want to layer also with another love you have to account for the space above that wrist bone- how many can fit comfortably and how it feels bending your wrists in different directions.
It’s not like the 16 is falling off or super super low on the wrist.
In the second picture of the 15 doesn’t look like there’s room to layer another one.
They both have good room above the wrist bone- not sure how low the 15 falls when your hand is down.
It’s what you feel good with.
 
I purchased a Love Bracelet recently and went with size 17. (My wrist measures close to 6 inches around.) It fits on my arm around the same as how the 16 fits on your arm. I'm really glad I didn't go any smaller because I've discovered when stacking the bracelet with other bracelets (like my Clic H) I need that extra room to move the bracelet up my arm a bit. So just keep that in mind as you decide on a size. If you like the idea of stacking your Love with other bracelets, you may want to wear those the next time you go in to try on the bracelet just to make sure you can stack them as you would like.
 
I was in a similar situation before ordering a custom bangle. The jeweler gave me some cheap stainless steel bracelets to test both sizes for a few days. At first the bigger one bothered me more, but I found out that typing on a keyboard all day is way more comfortable for me if I can move the bracelet up the arm. I also felt mildly claustrophobic wearing the smaller bracelet with my watch. The fit was very similar to your pictures. On the other hand, the bracelet will get more banged up.
