Cartier Love Bracelet Sizing Thread!

[Himeko057]

Hello everyone, I have been a silent follower of this forum but I don’t have an actual account til now. I am currently wearing my thin love size 16 and JUC size 15. My wrist is 14.5-15 cm using Cartier ruler. I am thinking about getting a paved thin love to stack with the other two. I was not sure if I choose correct size from the begining. I love how it fits on me but some people in this forum prefer larger size. I have attached the pics. Can you let me know if they look nice or too snug on me? Should I get size 17 for my thin love? Thanks everyone!

Your bracelets look great on you. I wouldn’t say this is too snug at all. I think you should get the pave in the same size.

I also think the size looks perfect on you! Not snug or too loose! So I think you should get the pave in the same current size.

Are you sure you measured correctly?

I have a 14 cm wrist, and also wear a size 16, and my Love falls down my arm very similar to yours (see pic).

I consider this a loose fit since it’s a + 2 cm difference, which I prefer.

Either way, I agree with @Himeko057 & @Familyfirst, the size looks not too snug and not too loose.

Both of mine are size 15!

Hi! May I ask how much your wrist measures? I’m debating between a 15 and a 16.

 

[andforpoise]

Hi all! My wrist measures 14 cm. I’m thinking a size 16 would be best but I wanted to hear some of your thoughts. Does a 16 sound right?

ETA: I’ve tried on both a 15 and a 16 but still debating a bit. The 15 does seem a bit snug.

I measure a hair over 14 and like the 16 best.

I think your 17 fits perfectly. It looks so pretty on your wrist.

I have a size 13.5-13.75 wrist and still got sized by two different Cartier SAs for a 16. I could have gone with a 15, but they said the screws would poke into my skin. Mine falls about 3 inches down my forearm too.

I have 15.5 wrist and now I tried 17 and 18 for thin version and think when I gain weight in the future 18 is loose but 17 I am scare the screw will dig in when I sleep what size do you think I should get

Hello!

Just got my first love bracelet this weekend after wanting one for years! I'm so excited and love it so much, but just wanted opinions to confirm I got the right size. I know there are already many posts on this, but had to ask for myself!

The first time I tried on, I tried the 16 and thought that was good for me, even though the SA commented on how it got stuck on my wrist bone and didn't slide over, but the 17 seemed big to me at that time. Tried on again two months later at a different Cartier store with a different SA and he without hesitation said 17, so that is what I purchased.

My wrist at the biggest/boniest point measures 15.5 cm with the slimmest part measuring 15 cm. My 17 moves around quite a bit and feels a bit looser than I would probably like, but the 16 was fairly tight. I could get it over my wrist bone but would have to push or really shake my wrist to get it over. DH also pointed out that the screws on 16 were knocking into my bone and would probably get annoying over time and the SA mentioned about possible swelling in the summer. I will also probably stack with other bangle and cuff bracelets (non-Cartier) that are a bit looser fitting.

So basically I think I know the 17 is the better option even though it's not perfect (as so many have said I wish Cartier made a 16.5!), but probably better to be a little on the loose side than potentially too tight, right? When I lift my arm up my 17 slides up about 3 inches and when my arm is down it hits right where my palm meets my wrist (it doesn't slide onto my palm at all). I've attached pictures for reference and am interested to hear what experienced love owners have to say that were in a similar situation of being in between sizes. I think some of it is I'm overthinking it because it's new and I'm super conscious of it right now whereas I won't think about it as much as time goes on, but I need the reassurance haha! Thanks so much!

Your male SA seems to know what he is talking about - I totally agree with him. With a 15.5 cm wrist and taking a size 16 is way too tight. In my opinion and from what I have read on this forum and elsewhere, adding 1.5 cm to your wrist size is perfect. Also, the technique of making a fist and placing it on your other arm and if the bracelet falls right underneath where your fist is from wrist to bracelet makes it a perfect fit also. It looks perfect and beautiful on you!

With a 15.5 cm wrist, if you go with size 17, that’s a +1.5 cm difference, which I consider am exact fit.

If you go with size 18, that’s +2.5 cm difference, which is definitely a loose fit.

Either would work I think but is strictly dependent on your own individual preference.

Do you have pics?

Thank you so much for reply here are pics of 17 love and 16 Juc and 18 alone

I think they both look good on you, and just as I suspected.

The size 17 doesn’t look like the tight fit, but like an exact fit = +1.5 cm difference.

Whereas, the size 18 looks greater than +2 cm difference, at +2.5cm as it falls down more than 1/3 of the arm it seems.

Mine is in between the two of those sizes and exactly a 2 cm difference. (You can refer to my picture a few responses up on this thread.)

I think you can decide by the look that you like best or feel most comfortable in.

I don’t think in either sizes that it will be uncomfortable when you sleep, but also take into consideration that during hot weather, it will not fall down your arm as much as it does now.

However, I’m leaning more toward the size 17 for you. What did the SA recommend?

Thank you so much for your suggestions SAsaid go for what I feel comfortable and I am also scare of weight gain in the future that is the big concern for me. I'm in year round hot and humid weather country. However, I am also concerned about bracelet move around is it happen to you?

I can flip/turn the bracelet around at any part on my arm if I do it manually, but it has rarely happened on its own.

I know I have read on this forum by some that “you shouldn’t be able to turn it”, but I believe that’s the “tight fit”, which the SAs like to recommend, but I prefer the loose fit.

Do you plan to stack? Maybe that can help you decide because as you stack, it gets tighter.
