slightly regret not getting a size 16–this love is a size 15 and my wrist (where it sits) measures 15, and wristbone measures 14. only recently have been noticing some discomfort when i wake up but nothing too significant, but i know a lot of people go 1cm up. when i tried on the 16 it felt way too loose and my SA said the 15 sits right where it’s meant to. there’s nothing much i’d be able to do since i got it back in june but it’s also a bummer because they don’t make the small juc with diamonds in 14 yet

No regrets! Mine is size 16 and it's a "tight" fit on my wrist. I did gain a little weight since I bought it 4 years ago and I may not like the looser fit of size 17...

I plan to get another in about a year's time after I lose the extra pounds I've gained. :giggle:

Hi .. if you don’t mind asking me.. when you bought size 16 was it loose .. I just recently bought one in size 16 .. it’s kind of good now .. it even moves right now but am worried if later in life when I age will it be tight .. not sure confused

No regrets on all 7 Loves. Think you cannot go wrong with the Love unless it is the reg Pavé. My only regrets are the JUC and a watch (non-Cartier).

If I'm allowed to broaden this thread a bit to all Cartier jewelery I know about:

Things I would not live without:
- Love bracelets: all but the reg Pavé; expecially the rainbows or the sm Pavés are lovely and the std reg is so classic
- Panthère massail rings :love:
- Panthère bracelets :heart:

Cartier which may stay:
- Love rings - somewhat uncomfortable
- Trinity rings - extremely uncomfortable but so nice
- JUC bracelets - danger for other items, reg is somewhat uncomfortable

Items I would definitely get rid of:
- reg Pavé - too thick and too dominant :shocked:
- Panthère grid rings - too massive albeit not uncomfortable
- Clash - the noise would make me crazy

I do have knowledge of other Cartier collections but not enough to have a funded opinion.

Thanks, this is great! I have to agree on the love ring. When wearing for a long time, it does cut into my finger as the edges are not fully rounded? I wasn’t aware the trinity is uncomfortable- good to know.

I regret mine! I wish I got something easier to take on and off. I’ve been wearing my love bracelet regular size for 2 years straight but I still find I’m constantly moving it into a different position. And I always wake up with creases in my arm.

This is one of the reasons why I got a thin love instead. It’s so comfortable sometimes I have to double check I still have it on! Been wearing it 24/7 but have the option to easily take it off myself. Maybe give that one a try?

Thank you for your post. I currently have 2 reg loves (WG and YG) w/4 diamonds and 2 small loves ( WG and YG) w/6 diamonds. Thinking of adding two rainbows (you guessed it, WG and YG), but wasn’t sure if 6 loves would be too loud. Your post makes me feel better.

The YG rainbow is a special order submitted a few months ago. I’m hopeful it comes to fruition — time will tell.

Interesting observation re: pave loves. I’ve never been able to pull the trigger, but I also have not been able to vocalize why. Perhaps it’s all the bling (dominance) in one bracelet that you alluded to.

Once I bought my first full size love, I returned it within a week. It did not at all complement my lifestyle, everyone knows what it is and, in comparison to my small love, people notice it from far away so I just felt embarrassed. Not because of the piece because the bracelet is GORGEOUS but because I am in a field that requires me to be discreet and also take bracelets off at least once a week. I called my SA and exchanged it for a new diamond necklace since nobody will know its cartier (unless you know know) and it doesn't make me feel any type of way. I will definitely buy again but in no time soon, once I become more established or change my job. Right now it wasn't worth the price to sit on my dresser and not be worn 24/7. I'll admire everyone else's pieces from afar for now.

No regrets here! I held off for a long time because I normally take off all my jewelry the minute I get home and thought there was no way I could wear something 24/7. I tried wearing a DY cable bracelet 24/7 to see how that would go and it drove me crazy so I crossed the love off my list for a while. That was a bad idea, a rounded cable bracelet is nothing like the comfort of the love bracelet, if you are going to test it out, definitely use a bracelet that is more similar to the love.

Finally, I just decided to bite the bullet because I couldn’t get it out of my mind and I am so glad I did! It is so incredibly comfortable and most of the time I don’t even remember it is on, it is just a part of me now. My only regret is waiting so long to buy it!!

I have typical size regret over my Love bracelets too like so many people do since Cartie doesn't offer half size, so you have to choose a loose side or tight side, but I also regret that I casually bought 2 Classic Loves without diamonds. I love my classic plain Loves too but I often think I could easily afford both bracelets with diamonds while I bought so many bags ( mostly Chanel that costs over 6k each ) addicted too much, half of them are sitting in my closet now. I feel so wasting but too lazy to do start all over again, like selling and re-buying, just feels too silly to do that..lol
