Hi! I am still in-between sizes for stacking 2-3 Cartier Love bracelets. Hope someone can help! Here are my measurements: left hand (non-dominant) 13.5CM before bone, 14CM after bone. The 16 on my left fits PERFECT for my liking. However, I would prefer to stack on my right, (as I wear a heavy watch on my left). My right hand measurements: 14CM before bone, 14.5 after bone. I just realized my dilemma: a 2.5CM difference is the perfect fit for my liking, :crybaby:and only achievable on my left, ah!

Curious to hear if anyone has been in a similar position and is happy with their decision? One where they ended up either stacking 2+ loves (and/or Jucs) and staying at a 2CM difference, or going for a more 'loose' fit (around 3CM after bone)? I've read a ton of posts on here and it seems a lot of people who have gone with 16 (and have a slight loose fit that I like), measure at 13.5, (like my left hand). Please share your thoughts and photos would be awesome! Thanks!

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 ✌

Hi, did you ever decide to size up? I am looking to purchase a Love for my sister and she has extremely small wrist - 13cm. We do not have a Cartier boutique near us, so it is difficult to determine which size would be appropriate - a 15cm or 16cm. She likes a tighter fit, but I want it to be comfortable, as she likes to stack behind a watch - so it will be above the wrist bone. A lot of people say size 16, but since she doesn't like a looser fit, I am worried 16 will have too much movement. Any feedback would be great!

The 15 should be plenty big. I have a fairly small wrist (14cm at the smallest and 14.5cm at the largest part of the wrist bone) and I can just get on a size 15 with no movement, and the 16 has plenty of room and goes up and down my wrist and lower arm. So the 15 will be equivalent on her and will have plenty of room. 16 will be more of a bangle fit on her, which is not what she wants.

That is what I am leaning towards. Thank you for your input!

My wrist is 13.5 cm and yes I ended up getting the 16! It’s a bit loose to my liking but I still prefer it to the 15.
Though if her wrist is 13cm, I think she should stick with 15!

First, thank you for the feedback! This is a lot of help!

But... I measured her wrist again tonight, and it happens to be 14cm above the wrist bone, and 14 1/4 at the bone - whoops!:biggrin: With that being said, that brings me back to the question - 15 or 16? After reading the previous replies/experiences, I feel the 15 would give her the fit she is wanting, but I don't want to become uncomfortable, and then ruin the experience of wearing it, so I end up undecided haha. Thank you again for the input(s), they will definitely help me get to a decision before the holidays!

Wishing you all a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

I posted this to another thread but i believe it is more apporiate here- I just purchased my first LOVE bracelet. I am measuring my wrist to be btn 13.5-13.75 depending where exactly i measure using the cartier wrist sizer. I am trying to decide between a size 15cm and 16cm. I initially went with a 16cm based on all my reading to "size up" however after wearing 1-2 days It was rubbing into my skin and tip of my hand and turning frequently and did not feel very comfortable. I exchanged for the 15cm, and while It is more comfortable, It is not entirely comfortable as It does leave a few marks and hits into my wrist bone when moving my hand up and down. The SA's in the store were assuring me the 15cm was the "right size". I am wondering which size would be the "better fit" as It pertains to both comfort and look. I am also hoping to one day add another LOVE to my stack. Thanks! Pictures attached of the two sizes. Top two photos are size 16cm and bottom two pictures are 15cm.

15. It will leave marks regardless of the size. I ended up selling my love and JUC to size down. They crossed over each other and hit my palm. Not to mention they banged against everything. I couldn’t wipe my countertops without a wristband over them. I’m so much happier with a traditional fit.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has a 13cm wrist and if so, what size is your Love bracelet? Would a 13cm wrist be able to fit a size 16 small Love bracelet? Or would a 15 be the only option? Thanks!

I would get the 15. I have the same size wrist and the 15 is still pretty loose. It moves down 1/3 of my arm. Is there a particular reason that you want the 16?
