Cartier Love Bracelet Sizing Thread!

[ckelly914]

Hi!! I got my first love bracelet about a month ago and am also really second guessing my size! My wrist measures slightly over 14.5cm and I purchased the 16 which my SA assured fit perfectly. It falls about 2inches below my wrist when my arm is up and has very little space on either side when sitting write below my wrist bone (both screws almost touching skin). It felt perfect at first, but as the weather has warmed feels too tight. I feel like I’m always moving it to make it more comfortable, but maybe that’s normal?

However, the 17 seemed so big! I was able to easily rotate it around my arm, whereas I can only do that with some force at the smallest part of my wrist with the 16. I’m considering going back for the 17 to get a looser fit, but don’t know if it just looks way too big! Does anyone have advice!?
First 3 photos are the 16. Last 3 the 17 (in store

these are my exact measurements and the size i went with. in my opinion the 17 looks too big, it sticks out too much. i also end up moving and adjusting mine a lot though. it depends if you like things to fit more on the snug side, or if you like the bangle feel. for me personally, i hate when i'm wearing a bracelet and it moves up and down every-time i lift my arm. i've had a small love in 16 for 4 years, and it's never been a problem in the summer. It's definitely been tighter some days but I never thought twice about it until i discovered that sizing is such a hot topic. i think it's easy to second guess ur size on this forum. i think your fit is perfect, but if you like movement size up.

16 looks perfect and 17 looks way too big, IMHO

my wrist is about the same size as yours

Right Wrist on the bone 14cm not on wrist bone 13.5

Left Wrist on the bone 13.5cm not on wrist bone 13cm

I ended up buying the 16 but I feel it’s to big and should of went with the 15 . The 16 does a 360 easily on my left wrist and just sometimes in my right wrist.

the reason I didint do the 15 was because it would get stuck in wrist bone but I think I would of been okay with that. How do you like the 15?

I am very happy with the 15! At first I was afraid it was too tight on my wrist but I’m glad I got the smaller size. I feel like the bigger one would get dinged up more since it’s looser.

I’d go with the bigger one, personally. I’m not sure my actual measurement but I was between the 16 and 17 and went with the 17. Whenever I’m sweaty on my Peloton I’m so grateful to not have a tight bracelet on.

17 is definitely a better size in my opinion

Hello all!
I am new to Cartier and was wondering if this 17 is a good fit for me, my wrist is about 6 inch. I tried the 16 but was rubbing on my wrist bone. Also is it normal for the bracelet to leave indentations?

Thanks, and would also be open to color suggestions as the last pic RG, WG, YG

My wrist measures 15-15.25 cm and both of mine are 17s since I wanted a loose fit and I love it I would never change it. Your’s looks perfect to me!

I have the exact same measurements on both arms but wanted to wear my love on the right. I was sized with the 15 in store and it felt fine until the first night. Then the next day I noticed red welts all day from the screws. I could rotate the size 15 and agonized over the sizing. I finally exchanged it for the 16 and am much happier. Had I purchased the 16 first, I would have said it was waaaay to big an exchanged it for the 15 like you'd like to do. I like that I can push the 16 up my arm when doing chores or typing. I think it will actually scratch less (despite what others on this forum suggest).

If you decide to try the 15, I suggest you use your hand in the store, drink water with it, write, etc. I noticed when I was modeling it looked great and felt totally fine! When I used my hand in every day situations and the muscles/tendons flexed, it was too tight. I kept a photo of my wrist with all the red welts for every time I think I should have kept the 15... LOL.

Good luck!

Go back to page 45. I posted them both together.

oh yeah the 16 def looks better.

 

[Onebagtoomany]

I’d go with the 16, the 17 looks too loose IMO.

Hi! Does anyone know how does Love 18 and Hermes Clic H size GM (also 18cm) compare in sizing and inner shape?

Do you think Love should spin in your arm around your wrist? What about movement, how many centimetres of movement up and down is normal?

After long debating between size 16 or 17, I finally decided to go with size 16 on the classic love bracelet and 16 as well on Juc. I sold my love cuff 18 because it cannot line up correctly with either size 16 or 17 on classic love ( I tried them in the boutique). The opening of the cuff will easily overlap and scratch the regular love at certain angle if that makes sense.
