after 1 month with size 15, I bought 16 and I’m going to sell the 15. 16 will definitely turn on it’s own on my wrist but my goal is to stack with juc. Too bad juc doesn’t come in 14
Bought 15 first. After a month I decided to get 16. I couldn’t stand the idea I can’t stack the love with a juc! And I find it hard to stack even with my other bracelets. So now I have to sell my 15
How unfortunate that you have to sell!
I don’t know your wrist size, but mine is 14 cm and although I fit both 15 cm and 16 cm, I went with 16.
Quite honestly, I believe VERY, VERY few people actually end up purchasing a size 15 cm bracelet (even if you are very petite and small like I am), and usually those who fit both, should probably go with a size 16.
I am able to turn the size 16 easily on my wrist (from all areas: wrist to where it lands); however, it doesn’t ever turn on its own.
I probably should have posted this a lot sooner, and I regret that I didn’t in case it might help others from regretting purchasing size 15.

I’ve even read a few instances where people with a wrist of 13.5 cm, which is tiny, regretting size 15 when the general rule of thumb is adding 1.5 cm for the perfect fit).
I am able to turn the size 16 easily on my wrist (from all areas: wrist to where it lands); however, it doesn’t turn on its own. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being able to turn it manually on one’s arm so long as the bracelet is not doing it on its own from just normal wear - in which case, it’s probably too big.
From all my research & everything I have read (and I have READ A LOT!!) the bottom line is generally (MORE LIKELY THAN NOT) most people will end up purchasing size 16 and in extremely RARE cases (a very miNUTE percentage of people) end up with size 15 and are happy with it.
Therefore, if in doubt, go for size 16!! Chances are it’s probably a better fit in the long run!

Agree! It really limits your ability to stack with other bracelets when you go with the absolute smallest size Love bracelet that will fit your arm. Plus, it's much more comfortable if the bracelet can move up and down the arm a little, especially during the summer when it's so hot.
You hit the nail on the head when you said, "...when you go with the absolute smallest size Love bracelet that will fit your arm" because essentially that is what you are doing!
Additionally, being that very few people actually fit the size 15, it makes it A LOT harder for reselling unfortunately.
My right wrist is 13.5cm and I got the size 16. I love how it fits! 15 would have been fine, but I prefer the looser fit and I can push the bracelet up on my arm when I'm cleaning.
yea it really sucks that I have to sell the 15. I haven’t sent to fashionphile for a quote yet as I’m too scared to see the offer haha
The thinnest part of my wrist is 13.4 cm so 16 turns on it’s own around that area. I’ve had worn the 16 for a day only and I’m not too sure about my feelings on the looser fit. though I it’s noticeable heavier than the 15. Oh well it’s more gold so I’m happier
I think there are many people suggesting going up a siZe . really my fault not doing the research before I made the purchase . My mind has set on the 15 for the longest time. I have small wrist and it has been very hard for me to even buy a bracelet as most of them don’t offer size that small.All the bracelet/bangle I end up buying are still too loose for my liking. I always prefer tighter fitThat’s why I thought I knew what I want and I was so certain.Turned out I couldn’t be more wrong
15 fits actually ok. But since the bracelet is thick and heavy, it feels someyimes suffocating on the wrist.There are room but just not enough. one super hot summer night, I woke up in the middle of night, thought there was a spell on the bracelet and it was trying to kill me. Of course I was half conscious. On cooler days, it seems fine
I think if I weren’t going to get a juc to stack, I may just live with the 15. But after I tried the 15 juc with my 15 love, juc just fits way bigger than love. That’s when I knew I had to get 16. To me there is no point to get a love if I can’t stack lol. I had to move all my bracelets to my right hand cuz all of them would go over the love bracelet. If I stack with one or multiple same size love, I can picture how overwhelming and claustrophobic they will look against my wrist. It is what it is. Just have to pay for the loss to learn a lesson.
To sum up my rant lol I guess main reason for me to get the 16 without hesitation is because of the juc. I knew 15 just not gonna work out for me. I’m not too sure what I’ll do if juc comes in 14. In the perfect world, I’d get love in 15.5 and juc in 14.5.
Anyway, Now I can finally preorder a thin juc with diamond in peace ✌️
My wrist measures right at 6 inches without pulling the measuring tape really tight and I went with the size 17 in the 4-diamond Love bracelet. I added a Rainbow Love bracelet a few months later, again in size 17. I can rotate both around but they don't rotate around on their own. I purchased that size based on the recommendation of my Cartier Sales Advisor and it has been perfect. I can easily stack them with a Hermes Click H bracelet in the PM size and they are a perfect match in size, never crossing over each other which would cause damage to the Love bracelets. I plan to add a third Love at some time and because I didn't go with the absolute smallest size that fits my arm, it's easy to stack them and/or add additional Love bracelets. I really appreciate having a bit of extra space during the summer season when it's so hot and humid out. Hope this helps with deciding what size works best.
I think it depends on how far down the wrist the bangle goes. For my preference I prefer the LOVE to be able to travel down at least 1/3 of my arm to call it a comfortable fit. Even if it sometimes rotates around my wrist. This is how I decided.
So I'd recommend the 16. It look more "comfortable". You will have room to pull it up when you're typing or doing housework, and the looser look is a great look, better than "fit" in my opinion. And you're only 21, so you're probably at your lowest weight now.
In the future, if you ever decide to sell, 16 will have a bigger market than 15.

My wrist at its widest part (towards the hand after the wristbone) is 14.5cm. I wear a size 16 LOVE. You may have to size up to a size 17 for a more comfortable fit.
