I have the same concern with OP. Is my love too tight?
I have a few pics
Sitting on my wristBone
sitting on the narrowest point on my wrist
How far it can go down my arm without digging into my skin
how far it can go down if I pull it down,digging in my skin.
I got size 15 and my wrist size is 13.5 cm

My first Cartier so being extra careful here. Went to the store and tried on 15 and 16. SA recommended 15 because 16 could spin near my wristbone. Got the 15 but been reading up on swelling in the summer / weight gain so now paranoid. Is my 15 too small? There is a bit more room near my wristbone but it gets tight as you move down towards the forearm. Should I exchange it for a 16? Pics attached. First pic is the lowest it will go on my wrist. I like it near my wristbone it is pretty roomy but it doesnt stay there. Thanks everyone!

If you are correct in measuring your wrist bone and say it's 13.5 cm, then I would say size 15 is perfect for you. I think adding 1.5 cm to your wrist bone gives a perfect comfort fit if you don't want the tight fit.

My wrist bone is 14-14.25; therefore, I went with a size 16. You can print out the Cartier wrist sizer and measure it to your wrist bone. That is how I was able to figure out the perfect fit for myself even though I fit both sizes.

This method of adding 1.5 cm to your wrist bone allows the bracelet to fall about 1/3 down the length of your arm which I think allows a very comfortable fit. Another method I read is making a fist with your other hand and placing your knuckles starting at the wrist bone, and if your fist fits that area from wrist bone to bracelet, it's PERFECT!

Hi Chaton,

thank you for the reply! 13.5 cm is my wristbone but I think it goes a bit less than 1/3 of my arm and in order to fit my fist I’d have to place it in between the bracelet and the bottom of my palm, not from my wrist bone

ideally I’d like 2 cm exra wiggle room. But too bad cartier doesn’t make 15.50cm
I have been reading a lot of posts that is saying to size up if you’re in between sizes. And most people seem to prefer a looser fit. This really makes me think if I made the right decision. I originally wanted it to be snug. But after seeing the marks it leaves on my arm, I am not too sure anymore

I should’ve tried 16 with the actual bracelet lol but my mind was set on 15. So I didn’t want to Go through the trouble. My SA put the sizes on me and I knew it was too big right away. now I’ve also learned that sizer is not that accurate. Oftenly it fits bigger than the actual bracelet

your wrist bone size is perfect for 16! It’s the 2cm I dreamed of lol

I definitely should get size 15 according to cartiers official website lol. But I think they don’t really count for the swelling or stacking ( they def don’t recommend to stack lol)

I have very tiny bones. But my arm is just a little bit meaty.So I think my arms get thicker a bit quicker than normal people, if you know what I mean. Maybe that’s why it can only go up to less than 1/3

Stella0925- It looks a little smallish to me but it’s also such a personal preference. If you are in doubt and still within the exchange period, I’d remove the bracelet now and call your SA in the morning.

Also I saw you said they don’t recommend stacking? Curious, where did you read that?

I already worn it for a week and it has quite a few scratches lol I’m pretty sure they won’t allow me to return.

my personal preference would be a 15.5 hahaha but that’s not gonna happen. I think I just have to learn to live with it for now. It’s a bit small to my liking but maybe 16 is probably a bit too big

Oh it’s not from Cartier’s website. But my SA didn’t recommend for stacking cuz it will scratch the bracelet pretty badly. And at Rolex, they were pretty Surprised that I wanted to stack my love to Rolex

ohhhh got it, I thought you meant they don’t recommend stacking the love bracelet at all, which seemed surprising. I would be afraid to stack my love bracelet with the Rolex too, I wear them on opposite wrists and stack my classic love with a thin.

For the size, like you said, it’s possible with the 16 you’d feel like it’s too big. I agree they should come in half sizes!

Yea I don’t think I will wear my watch and live together lol.

It just sucks that I have to buy brackets/bangles in extremely small size in order to stack with my love

I have a tennis bracelet that’s been resized to a pretty small size but it still slides over my love easily when I wear them together

IMHO looks small. Like PC1984 mentioned you should remove the bracelet immediately (to avoid scratching) and contact your SA. If your boutique is open with appointments perhaps you can try both sizes.

I was also in between sizes and went up to a 17. Fast forward, three more LOVES to my stack and I am happy that I got 17s.

Yikes oh no, I never wear any jewelry with my Rolex (right hand) .

That’s a good point about other bracelets but I think either way it would be hard to get an exact perfect same size fit. The Van Cleef perlee bracelets come in sizes as well, so between VCA and Cartier there are a bunch of bangle options that come in sizes.
I also have the clash (Cartier) and it pairs beautifully with the love and also is a bangle that comes in sizes.

All these pieces sounds amazing to pair with Cartier love! I just feel that this will limit my options of stacking. Lots of contemporary brands don’t offer bangles/bracelets in these small sizes. Especially bracelets, it’s gonna be a pain to put it on if it fits just right for my wrist.

but I guess I will just have to spend my money more carefully then, sometimes less is more lol
