For me my wrist size was 6-6.2 inches and about 15.2 centimeters. The cartier wrist sizer on me was 15.5. I went with the 17. I think 18 would be too big, not sure about a 16 but I think it might be tight.

I think it really depends on your personal preference and how you plan to wear it. I'm a size 16 and decided to buy a size 17, instead of 18, because I like how it just lays flat on my wrist, doesn't move up and down whenever I walk or exercise. It also stays put when I do errands, wash the dishes or play with my dog. :)
It's also very comfortable when I sleep. The screws doesn't hurt my skin. It also gives me that security that the screws won't easily get loose from constant moving.
Just get what feels right for you and your lifestyle.

I have 14cm wrist and my arm is slender. My SA recommended size 16 love. It seemed so loose. Bracelet would slide up 6cm from wrist bone and 2cm below wrist bone. I plan to stack with regular JUC. If I go down a size love 15,and get JUC 15, the two would overlap.

Mine is also 14, have never heard it referred to as kids size!
It’s personal preference… I like 16 best.

I merged your thread into the Love Sizing thread, I just posted a pic above of my 14 wrist with a 16 small Love with diamonds.

I bought a size 17 but I’m now in doubt if I chose the right size. What would you guys suggest my size is if my wrist is 14.5 cm at the
bone? What are your experiences?

I have been to the store several times and have tried both 16 and 17. My SA adviced me to go with 16 but I ended up buying the 17 in case I swell up when working out or when humid. But it’s quite loose. If they had a 16.5 it would be perfect. The 16 is still loose but it still left indentations on me after I tried it on. The 17 can turn on its own. The 16 can’t even turn manually. I’m wondering if I should exchange my bracelet to size 16 or if I made the right choice with size 17?

Or should I go with the small love in size 16? I feel like its the perfect size. It’s much more comfortable and feels a little bigger than the regular love but it also looks a lot different.

I attached a mod shot photo of me with both small and regular love in size 16. I don’t have a picture of me with the 17 but it sits a bit looser.

Always personal preference of course, and arm shapes vary so widely, but from what I’ve heard and speaking from personal experience choosing a bracelet sized 1.5cm larger is often recommended. My wrist is 15.5 cm and I have the 17 in both the reg love and thin love. For me a size 18 (2.5 cm larger) would have been way too big. I will say the thin love is more comfortable because it is lighter weight and even though it is the same size as my reg love, feels a bit looser because it is narrower—if you’ve ever worn a wide band ring and a narrow ring each in the same size that’s the same idea. I love the look of both but the thin is definitely daintier. Bonus is that I can remove it any time and sometimes I wear it with my reg love, or stacked with a small chain bracelet on my other wrist. Are you considering stacking? That’s another thing to take into account. Hope this helps—it can be a tough decision ( I also wished 16.5 size existed, but several SA’s have helped confirm the 17 is right for me.) Good luck and let us know what you decide! Maybe another trip to the boutique to try out the 16 again would help.

I think you should try on both sizes ( 17,16) back again for comfort but at the same time if you intend to stack for the future try on the Juste Un Clou with the love together it will help make your decision much easier. Comfort is very subjective some people like exact fit with not much movement verses a little room for summer months, weight gain and sleeping/swelling at nights. It’s often recommend if you are inbetween size to go 1.5cm upwards from your wrist that way you can’t go wrong.For example I am 16.5cm wrist and I choose 18 love, Juste Un Clou 17. My bracelets move up and down my arm but it’s great for me also I can stack additional bracelet in the near future if I so desire because I don’t want it to feel tight and constricted it would drive me up the wall hence an expensive mistake on my part. So for me I find trying on both bracelets together help make my decision easier and my heart at ease. I hope other members with your size wrist 14.5 will give you some more input on terms of sizes but keep in mind overall it is what you feel is comfortable on your wrist.

My measurements are the same as yours and I have a 17. It’s true that Cartier recommends 1.5 cm gap but I do like how my bracelet moves on my arm. I tried the 16 and I did not like the feeling.
It really all comes to personal preference, there is no good or bad way to wear these bracelets.
Good luck deciding!

I’m not a fan of stacking hence why I went with the regular first. However I might go with the sm just because of its comfort.
I’ve been to the store plenty to try both sizes and none of them are perfect. When I try the 16 I always think it’s a bit restrictive and the 17 is way too big. But maybe it’s better to have it too big than having it being restrictive

If I should go with comfort only I’d probably pick the sm one. A great idea to try it with something else. I was not planning on stacking but I do have a panthere watch on my wishlist, so perhaps I’ll try the bracelet with the watch to see which size is best. My plan was to have the bracelet on one arm and watch on the other but having the opportunity to have both on one arm is definitely nice

Thank you for the reply, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who went 2.5 cm up. How far down does your bracelet move on your hand and does it bother you in your every day life that the bangle is a bit looser?

It goes down like in your picture I would say. And even more on my left wrist. And no I don’t mind really.. I am on the petite side and we have looooong winters here. When I wear long sleeves (and that’s often), I can still see my bracelet, which I like. And in summer, I like the way it moves on my arm. It looks more like a bangle :) Finally, I noticed that I also wear my watches the same way. I believe it should be the way I like wearing my jewelry in general :)

Hi all!

I just purchased a size 17 SM Love and was wondering what you all think of the sizing on me. My wrist measures ranging 15.5mm to 15.7mm, depending on the day. It feels comfortable, but I see a lot of people’s bracelet are able to go further up their arm. Does mine look too tight? I fear an 18 would look better, but would feel very loose.
All opinions welcome! Thank you!View attachment 5122873View attachment 5122874View attachment 5122875

I have the same wrist size as you. I live in a hot and humid climate. I much prefer the 18.

What do you think of this fit?
He took size 15 n 16 for me to try. He couldn't exactly screw the 15 as the inside screws are already hitting sides of my wrist. I'm here wearing 16.

Price increase is on 15July.
