Cartier Love Bracelet Sizing Thread!

[Roms5]

I wear a classic alone..but am considering stacking it with a thin love. I just had a baby too

Like I said, I prefer a loose fit. But I also live in south Florida and the climate is very hot and humid. Tight and sweaty is just a bad combination and makes me feel claustrophobic.

Hmmm I am from Orange County ..California .. and right now here it’s really hot .. that’s why I am feeling like my love feels little right lol .. I’m winter time it’s better .. and I am still 10 pounds up .. post pregnancy.. inspire of baby being 18 months up

I meant love feels tight

17!
My wrist is 13.5 and I first got 15 it was too tight especially in summer. I had to sell it at loss and got 16. So much happier after

Also my wrist swells up to 1 cm with the humidity in the summer. I’ve heard this from other people too but it may not be the same for everyone. I think that it’s important to know though. This is an expensive purchase and you want to wear it and enjoy it and feel comfortable in it. As someone who lives in South Florida, a looser fit is a no brainer for me. Good luck with your choice.

Weight loss or gain may or may not be relevant, depending on where you gain/lose it and your body type. I lost forty pounds a few years ago..my wrist size did not change but I went down one whole ring size.

It’s really personal preference. I prefer a loose fit. I have a 15.5 cm wrist and I wear an 18. It’s a big purchase and I would hate to ever be unable to wear it because it’s too tight or uncomfortable down the road.

Hi Kmang011,

Is it ok for me to see a pic of you wearing the size 18? My wrist is also 15.5. I tried on size 17 Love, and 16 Juc in the store and feel like it’s a bit tight. I prefer a loose fit and plan to stack later on. I was in a rush so didn’t think of asking to try size 18 on. Here are pics of me wearing size 17 Love and 16 Juc. Thank you.

Sure! Photos attached. The 17 is too tight on you for my own liking. But some people like that. To be honest though, these photos that I uploaded make it look looser than it really looks on my arm, as I live in south Florida (very humid) and my wrists swell and also humidity/heat causes things to “stick” more and there’s less movement sliding up and down especially when I go outside these days. Good luck with your choice. It’s a big purchase so don’t be afraid to return and get the size you really need. I wore the 17 out of the store for one day before I felt suffocated in it and returned it the next day for the 18 before it got any scratches on it. Never looked back. The last photo is how it actually looks dangling on my arm.

My wrist size is 16,5cm and this is size 18cm bracelet. do you think it fits? It’s quite round but my wrist is so flat that the screws touch my skin all the time. I’m thinking about exchanging to size 19. I’m worried that it won’t fit when I naturally gain weight with age.

I have the same trouble. I hate tight bangles, so I chose 18. It's large for my wrist but I prefer this size.

Hello. I wanted to purchase the small love online since the boutique has no available slot appointments, trying to beat the price increase. I am trying to figure the best size. My wrist is about 6-6.2 inches and when I use the Cartier Wrist Sizer and it’s about 15.5. What would be the best size? I am thinking a 17. Hopefully it’s not to big. TIA.

I think you should be fine with size 17 also it’s good to take into consideration if in the event that you will be stacking example Juste Un Clou will be size 16 in the near future, if not fitting correctly then return for size but at least you were able to purchase prior to the increase. Note I don’t have your wrist size mine is 6.5 inch (16.5) wrist sizer I took a size 18 and Juste size 17. Hope another member can assist you with the same size wrist

Hi. That is the same size as my wrist and I wear a size 17. I have the small love and also the regular love. very comfortable and not too big for me. They don’t spin on my wrist by themselves, but i can turn them pretty easily with my other hand. i have to say that for a few months after getting them I wondered if a 16 would have been better, but i was assured by 2 different SA’s that 17 was the correct size for me. General rule is 1.5 cm bigger than your wrist, but it’s ultimately personal preference. Like many other posters I sometimes wish a size 16.5 existed. Mine are definitely not a tight fit, and I really like the looser fit with the small—it’s a relatively dainty piece and I think that fit suits it better. Hope this helps, let us know what you get!

I have a similar wrist size and I have the classic Love in 18, JUC in 17. I went for a looser fit. The 17 small Love fit fine, but it was too snug for my personal preference. So it's up to you on how you want it to fit...

I have the same fit as yours (2.5 cm difference with my Love). I got the small JUC recently but don’t wear the bracelets at same arm. How do you find the scratching since you have a loose fit like mine? And how do you put your JUC against your Love? I would be glad to hear from you and maybe even see a pic

Thank you, would you be able to post a pic of the small love?

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!

This is exactly what I needed to read. Thank you so much. I went through the exact dilemma. Bought 17. Went back to try 16. Felt satisfied with 17. It isn’t perfect, I wish there was a 16.5, but if I had to pick a smidge too loose or a smidge too tight then too loose is better in the long run.
