I replied this in another thread but your fit is similar (looser, even) than the fit in the original Love ads:
Ultimately it’s personal taste. I had the opposite problem and got a 16, and then later wondered if I should have gotten a 15. I decided the 16 still looked good and felt comfortable and it wasn’t worth losing money to resell it and buy the smaller size.
If you’re still within the return period, you could go try the 16 on and see how you feel.
I think Love bracelets are supposed to have a tight/snug fit.. yours looks great!
Many will tell you that it is supposed to be fitted. But many (myself included) prefer a looser fit. So it's entirely your preference. Maybe try on the next size up and that will help you decide. Some find that going up even one size ends up with a bracelet that spins and they prefer the snugger fit. At least you can see and feel both and decide which is best for you. Based on the photos, it seems to slide quite a ways down your arm so I think any bigger and you'll find the bracelet spins.
I had the same issue and @tuplipfield responded to my post. Mine fits tighter then your 15 does and the 16 spins. Like everyone else said, it's your personal preference. I love stacking bracelets but I do that on my other arm. When I purchased this love I wanted it to stand alone, I don't stack it with anything. The 15 works for me. At times I wonder should I have gotten the 16 and is my 15 to tight. In the end if I had the 16 I would keep looking at it wishing I had a tighter fit. I think having it go up and down on my arm would bother me more. Having small wrists like we do I've never had a bracelet that truly fits, fits me and now I do. Choose whatever feels good for you
Is it uncomfortable going over your wristband? And did you measure your wrist by any chance? It’s hard to tell from just photos. I had A love that was too tight, but in the photos it looked just fine. Please share that info if you have it. Will make giving advice a bit easier.
It's not uncomfortable at all over my wrist bone. It slides over it just fine. It just doesn't go up my arm as far as most people (from photos I see). I think in an ideal world I would have a 15.5. There isn't anything I can do about it now so I have grown to accept it (kinda lol). Since I wear it alone and not stacked I think it looks fine. Just has more of a cuff look, then a bangle. Thanks for replying!
It looks fine to me. However, it is your bracelet and if you aren't happy & you are still within the return/replacement period, do so.
I have teeny tiny wrists, too. I got the 16. I forget I have it on. I would rather not feel the bracelet than feel it go over the wrist bone.
I have the cuff and the thin love the JUC, ecrou and now the clash. My FAVORITE and the best fit is the cuff. I took a 16 in the cuff and a 17 in the thin love and a 16 in both the JUC and ecrou. Clash runs big so a 15. But honestly I feel after leaving the thin on without taking off until today that the 17 is too big. It turns and I kinda wish I got the 16. Imo the love cuff is the best fit of them all.
Wish they would start with half sizes. Seems so many people have these issues. ♀️
Do your thin loves feel too tight if your wrist swells in the heat? I’m starting to regret not taking the 16 in the thin. The SA convinced me it would be too small in the heat but it rotates by itself and is starting to annoy me. I’m a 16 in the cuff and a 16 in the JUC and Ecrou. For some reason those don’t rotate. The thin is fine if I sandwich the clash between the cuff and thin but with only the cuff and thin it got annoying and I actually took it off tonight for the first time in about 9 mos.
Hello lovely TPFr’s!!
I will be purchasing the small Love for a milestone birthday in August... I’m turning 50! When I have been sized for the Love in the past they always told me I was a size 17. I went into Cartier to try on the bracelet... was debating on the cuff so was testing things out. I tried on the 17 it didn’t turn completely around but the SA said it was too big and had me try on the 16. It seemed to fit fine not tight but more fitted. Should I consider as I age my wrist will changes sizes? Do any of you consider this? I like the more fitted look but wondering if my wrist would change and it would become too small. Any thoughts or experiences with this? Love to hear from you.

Congrats, for I too have a Birthday in August... The LOVE bracelet is oval and is not meant to be able to turn around on your wrist without you doing it manually.. if it does, then it's too big. You should have room for it to slide up and down your arm. If the 16 feels too tight, then it probably is. It all depends on your wrist and arm... and your comfort level. I don't know anything about the cuff, but I do fancy myself as an expert on the LOVE bracelet.

I like the slightly bigger fit. Also I find it‘s too expensive to become perhaps too small in 10 or later years. Congrats on your milestone!
