Cartier Love Bracelet Sizing Thread!

Hi everyone!
I was very lucky to receive a thin YG love bracelet for my 30th birthday.

I finally went to Cartier yesterday where I tried on the 18 and 19 sizes. I ended up buying the 18 - Ihave chunky wrists as I need to loose weight and am on a health plan at the moment (I want to loose around 5 stone)!
I asked the SA if the 18 will still be ok when I have got to goal weight - I don’t want it falling off of my wrist and he told me that it will be absolutely fine.

My question is should I return this and try on the 17 and put up with it being tight whilst I drop the pounds or would you keep the 18 as it is? It’s not loose atm as like I said, I’m carrying a lot of extra weight! In the long run I don’t want it to be as tight as it is now as I like a looser fit but terrified it will be falling off of me!

I would love some advice!

TIA!

I think I would keep the 18. It does look tight right now but when you reach your goal weight I think it will be a more comfortable fit. A size 17 would be uncomfortable right now in my opinion.
 
Just purchased the love yellow gold in regular size yesterday. I tried on size 17 and 18 but bought the 18. Initially it was a great fit but been running around all day. But after showering sitting down and resting I tried on the 18 and it fits good but it rotated a lot at wrist near my palm. It also touches my palm. But if I put on a watch I am able to push it up so the watch can sit closer to the palm. I am currently about 15 lbs heavier. Should I exchange for the 17 or keep 18. The 17 was sitting on my wrist in store but at the time I wasn’t sure if it was snug. I am able to fit 3-3.5 fingers in when it’s closer to the palm. Pictures of it at size 18 where I pushed it as high into my arm (fits 2-2.5 fingers)

also: does everyone’s screw after tighten face horizontally with the others because one of mine is horizontal at its tightest one is vertical around 11-12 o’clock

happy birthday!

5 stone will probably take a length of time to lose, right? I think in your situation I would keep the 18 so that I can enjoy it while I am on the weight loss journey, and see where things end up. It does look tight now, so even if you lose 2cm off your wrist (which is a lot for a wrist to lose) I think it will still be a good fit for you.

Good luck with your journey!
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and the birthday wishes! X

Thank you so much for your advice. I’m sticking with the 18! X

The 18 looks tight. I personally wouldn’t size down any further, even with the anticipated weight loss. In my opinion, a looser fit always looks more feminine and creates the illusion of a thinner wrist!
Thank you so much, that is very true! I’m going to stick with it. Thank you for your help

The 18 looks really tight - I might even have gone for the 19...
Thanks for your advice, it’s slightly looser than in the photos but it’s definitely snug. I did try on the 19 but it was too loose and was banging around everywhere which is really odd considering how snug this is. I’m going to stick with the 18 so it will still look ok when I loose weight.

My advice is to size up to 19 :) I love the loose fit!

I want to add another love bracelet to my stack and can't decideView attachment 5056548 between size 16 or 17 regular Love. My wrist is 15 cm, currently wearing 18 love cuff and 16 JUC. Anyone know if the 18 cuff will overlap with 16 regular love bracelet?
Equivalent size for the cuff to full size love bracelet is to size one size down so a 17 would sit flush all together with your cuff and JUC

Does anyone wear the same size love cuff and bracelet? Can you share some photos? How do they fit together?

I was thinking I want to stack with my classic but don't necessarily want to have two bracelets on all the time. Thanks!

I tried the cuff a couple years ago in the same size as my classic and found it to be too big. I was told I was trying a 16 (wrist is 14) but now I am doubting the SA gave me the correct size. See photos. I'm surprised to hear the cuff runs smaller. I thought it ran bigger based on my experience in store. I couldn't possibly get go up another size in the cuff...

Hi everyone, it's been about 3 months since i got my size 16 Love bracelet and i still can't stop thinking about the size! I've always had a size 16 small love as a gift so i didn't give much thought or research to sizing since I just purchased the same size. At certain points of the day, my bracelet feels so tight and I have to physically move it down which i hate. Other times it freely falls. My wrist fluctuates like crazy. I tried on the 17 and it was just so huge. If you were me would you just deal with the uncomfortableness from time to time, or just go for the 17 for movement at all times? I have pictures of how the size 16 fits me when it's comfortable (1), snug (2) , and then the last 2 are 17. Feeling sad because i feel like neither size is perfect =[

Love the size and your bracelet stack!! I also have the white gold thin love :heart: I would suggest moving your thin love bracelet to the front of your wrist instead of the back this might help a little with sizing. Weird I know but it works for me lol

The Love is extremely comfortable when fitted correctly. I understand you had a prior size 16 so it makes sense to get the same size; however, unfortunately, I don't think the size 16 was the right fit for you, and it looks too tight of a fit on your arm to me.

Size 17 would have definitely been a better fit even if you thought it was too loose. The best way to find your correct fit is to measure your wrist bone and add at least +1.5 cm or more or have the Love fall about 1/3 down your arm for a more comfortable fit.

On the other hand, if you are a righty, you might do better placing them on your left arm as your less dominant arm tends to be slightly smaller than your dominant arm, and the bracelets may be slightly more comfortable for you.

Also, aesthetically, I do think with your particular stack, the bracelets look better when the small is closer to the wrist rather than near the elbow as the arm tends to get bigger near the elbow; therefore, it looks more pleasing when the bracelets follow the same trend (small to bigger).

around the bone my wrist is 14.75CM, the size 17 is way too big, as the picture shows. unfortunately i am just in-between sizes and need to deal with it being too snug or way too loose and which one is less annoying.
