For you, the 16. I purchased the 16 and regret not sizing up to 17, BUT my wrist/arm is bigger than yours. The 16 looks much better on your arm.
My wrist is smaller than yours but I prefer the 17 
. I felt the looser one looked more feminine on me. I got the 16 and sold it.
I prefer the 17 on you. For me looser means more breathable. Some like a tighter fit others a looser fit. There is no wrong way.

I think so! Here’s how my 17 fits at the start of my wrist and then where it naturally falls:
I hope this helps you even more! I remember I was trying to find suggestions on sizing (I received it as my wedding day gift from my husband and was freaking out on figuring out what size I was because I knew I wouldn’t want to exchange it later on) and didn’t have much luck so I went with what I thought I would be most comfortable with.
I never liked buying one size fits all bangles, they would fall too far down my wrist and I wouldn’t wear them so that’s how I felt the larger size would wear too. Plus I’m usually in long sleeve blouses so again, I like how it doesn’t fall too far down my wrist- but it’s personal preference!!

Definitely 16
I have 16 in white and yellow gold and it fits well. I have tiny wrists as well, even smaller than yours and in reality I need a 15, which isn’t even sold, so 16 was my only option. Bangles that spin around don’t look good, like how it looks like in size 17.
You want a bangle that hugs your wrist, and you won’t swell enough to have 16 be too tight.

Thanks for sharing! The love bracelet looks beautiful on you and love the meaning behind it! I feel the same way about the larger sized bracelets as there's too much movement. I'm going from wearing no bracelets to wearing one 24/7 so I definitely want to get the right size that's comfortable!
+1 me too got the 17 instead of 16 as I like it to be a bit roomyMy wrist is smaller than yours but I prefer the 17

There’s really no “right way” to wear it. I’ve heard many people say it should be “tighter” but when I look at all the Cartier photos on their IG account, there seems to be more Loves worn on the loser side.
I purchased a JUC and Love on the same day to stack and knew I preferred the look of a JUC to be worn looser so I chose my love size based off of that. I chose the size 17 JUC which led me to purchase the size 18 Love. My wrist size is 15.5 cm.
I like a looser fit because of movement and like scarlet555 said, it looks more feminine on me.
I could turn both size 17 and 18 Loves around on my wrist but neither turned on their own. In fact, the 17 would get “stuck” in a weird position if I moved my arm up or down quickly.

I was in the same situation and went with the 17. Im glad I went for the looser fit for a few reasons which weren’t apparent to me in the store:
- I’m on a keyboard all day and being able to push it up my arm is helpful for when I type. Also great for when I need to do dishes or bathe my kids.
- Swelling during summer, working out, even sleeping.
- being able to push it up my arm also helped me to hide it if I don’t want it to be so flashy.

Fully agree! Exactly the same reasons why I chose 17
They have size 15 now! I have small wrist and size 16 is a bit loose. I don't like it move around like completely turn. So I got size 15! And size 16 definitely looks better on you.
Hello all, this is my first thread that I've created on this forum. I'm a 20 year old male and I've been looking to get the love bracelet for two years now and I have not come to a conclusion on which one to get. I usually wear my watches tight at the last hole or even punching additional hole. So I'd prefer the love bracelet to be snug fit and does not move around freely on my 15.5cm wrist but I'm not sure which one to get. According to Cartier sizing guide, it says add 1cm for snug fit but unfortunately, they don't offer a 16.5cm. So I was wondering would the 16cm be too small and too tight for my wrist and also would the 17cm be too big and loose for my wrist? Thank you!!
Hi there, do you have a chance to try the 16 and 17 in the boutique? I would like to think that the 16 might be rather tight. My wrist is just above 14 cm and I just bought the 16. I managed to get the 15 on but decided against it. Also, the SA advised me to rather go for the 16. Depending on the temperatures and climate, the wrist might extend with heat and humidity...
