No, it's not loose. My wrists measure 12.5 and 13cm and my Loves are size 16 (though when I buy a new one, I might go for a 15). I prefer my bracelets a bit looser.
I think it looks fine. You can definitely try the 15 at a store, but for long term wear, 16 might be more comfortable. And remember we're in fall/ winter right now, so in the summer, you might want it to be looser.
I plan on purchasing the classic love bracelet when I travel in about a month but I can't decide on size 16 vs 17! My wrist measures 14.75cm at the smallest pt and 15cm at the wrist bone. The SAs recommended size 16 as the 17 looked too big on me.
Size 16 - like the look and fits well but just a bit snug when it falls towards my hand or at the wrist bone. It falls ~ 2 - 2.5in down from my wrist bone and I'm able to turn it if I force it. I'm concerned it may feel uncomfortable long term, in the heat, swelling or change in weight? Although, I haven't noticed my wrist swelling. Do you get used to how it fits?
Size 17 - fits fairly loose with lots of movement. It falls ~ 2.5 - 3in and turns very easily on my wrist. Does 17 look too big on my wrist?
Would love to know your experience and how your love bracelet fits! If you've exchanged to a bigger or smaller size - why? Thanks in advance!

I have yet to get a love bracelet (though I will be getting it next month!!) and I will probably be on the same boat as you. My first time trying them will be the day I purchase it. I've measured my wrist using the measure provided online, and I'm pretty sure I'm in the size 16/17 range.
Personally, I do like the look of the 16 on your wrist. I like how it's "fitted" and not dangling like how the 17 is. However, I would be concerned about wrist swelling/weight gain/etc (btw, do you have kids already or not yet?) Ultimately it's personal preference.

I think the 16 looks better. My wrists are fairly small and I have two size 16's and like the fit better. You don't want the bracelet to be able to spin completely around the wrist.
Size 16. It still looks like it has a little room. The 17 you will have to wear it further up. It will bash about. Plus the 17 just looks way too large.
I prefer the look of the 16 on you. It looks fitted but not too tight. Does it feel comfortable? If so, go with the 16. My wrists are 14.5cm at the smallest point and just under 15cm at the wrist bone (so almost the same measurements as your wrist) and I went with the 16. The 16 and 17 both fit me exactly how they fit you. I tried on the bracelet several times at different boutiques when I was traveling and all the SAs recommended the 16 for me. Good luck! It’s a beautiful bracelet [emoji7].
16 looks best. It looks like how the bracelet is supposed to fit
Hi! I was in the same exact boat as you! The SA was encouraging me to get an 18 versus size 17. The 18 had lots of movement which I was told was the way it should fit. However, I personally don’t like a lot of movement, so I went with a 17 and so happy I did!
I think it’s personal preference on how much movement you want!

I prefer the look of the 16 as well but was second guessing after reading other's experience - exchanging for a bigger size. No I don't. Good luck!
