Cartier Love Bracelet Sizing Thread!

I went through the same thing......I bought the 17 after FINALLY deciding on 17 rather than 16..........wore it for a week........and I felt that it was too big, and had too much movement on my wrist. So I called the store, and said I could exchange it for a 16. That's what I wear now. Anytime I see pictures of Celebs with the bracelet........it's pretty fitted! I think b/c you wear it 24/7.......you shouldn't feel it flipping around......did this make sense? JMO
That's right, because it is supposed to fit snug. But if you want a loose bangle style, then get the 17.

You can go back to the store and try them on again... it's hard to deicide at home without the bracelet in front of you.
 
I'm confused at why it's not supposed to move around, when people seem to agree that is a good look.
We like the look of a loose bangle because it makes our hands look smaller. But the Love Bracelet is supposed to fit more snug and not move around and stay on forever. So it's more practical if it is smaller.

Jayne1,
You are right, i think I am going back to the store (at least 1.5 hr) to try both on again. I am inspired and like the look on Reese Witherspoon, which is rather loose but wonder if it's practical for everyday wear.

Thank you for patiently answering all my questions, you r a gem!

Right now, I am still torn between 16 and 17. Look vs practical daily wear ?

I meant that I really didn't like the feeling of it moving around too much, since I wear it 24/7. It makes me aware of the bracelet, and the fact that I need a screwdriver to get it off........so, I'd rather not "notice" it on!:nuts:

Where is the Reese picture? I love seeing pics of the same jewellery as me. But Reese is an actress, she probably doesn't wear it for long periods of time.

I think you secretly want the 17 because it hangs down.
 
Here is Brooke Shields wearing hers in a very causal way. It's hard to see the Love bracelet because she wears other bracelets. (I do that too.)

^ She wears it so loose! It would slide up and down so much when she was doing the dishes and changing diapers. :p

I don't think your wrist will grow that much that you have to get a size for when you may get fat. I've gone up and down and my wrist kind of stays the same. Also, you don't get folds and wrinkles on your wrist... lol

But I do think you want the 17...
 
I would choose the 16. That's where my Love bracelet sits on my wrist and it's not too tight and not too loose.

I was originally sized up as an 18 but went for the 17. Best decision ever made!
 
Babalogist, Reese's pics show exactly how I wear my love bracelet in size 18 (but a little be tighter)!
I just don't like the snug feeling because it makes me feel the bracelet all the time.
The loose style gives me more opportunities to play with my watches and jewelry IMO.

It totally depends on how you like the bracelet on your wrist!
