I have panic disorder , claustrophobia and agoraohobia . Severe level. I have panicked over nail polish being on my fingers and feeling trapped even though nail polish remover can just take it off your brain just goes into irrational mode. Even I wear my love bracelet 24/7 and i have times where i feel panicky about it and being trapped in it in a life threatening emergency ( also suffer health anxiety )
I totally sympathise for the lady. I went through that after removing it to give birth and putting it back on i struggled to adjust again. Now its a part of me.
I would highly recommend the cuff to her which is what i am purchasing next.

I sympathize, I have sensory processing issues and that's how I feel if I have hair touching my face. For many years I either suffered with it, or wore my hair pulled back every single day. Two years ago I buzzed my head, and it's the best thing I ever did for myself.

I was worried that I'd have trouble with the Love bracelet, but so far, I barely realize it's there.

I don't necessarily regret it, but I do wish I went a size smaller. I just assumed with my recent weight gain, that I would need the larger size, but I would have been fine with the smaller size regardless.

I wish I had gone a size smaller. I tried on both a size 16 and 17 and the 16 felt snug while the 17 is super loose on me. The SA suggested I go with the 17 so I went with her decision. It’s so loose to the point where it gets “stuck” on my arm all the time and leaves crazy indentations and marks. 715F3727-3CA4-4459-BC39-CF48468FBECD.jpeg

They do that even if they are smaller, it's just closer to your wrist. I just moved mine and have the same thing. I cared about it for a little bit but don't even notice it now. Having a little bigger is really important if you want to stack, as your arm gets bigger as it goes up to your elbow. I almost wish I'd gone a size bigger now I have three.

That's good to know. I guess I just don't like how it never really sits on my wrist it's either up too high or hanging below my wrist where my hand is.

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:

Just saw your initial post here in PF. Are you still covering your love when you exercise? Thinking about doing the same thing. How is your bracelet looking after 6 years of being "loved"? (Assuming you still wear it every day?)

If you exercise or do any yard work best to cover it with a sweat band for your wrist. That way it will protect your bracelets!

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.

Did you ever part with the regular pave love? I am thinking of getting it. It is such a beautiful piece but don’t want to have any regrets

I went back a couple of times and tried on different sizes and I really made sure that when I got my first one that I was happy with the size I got. Now I have 2 and zero regrets. They're my favorite things that I own.

I second that! I ended up going back a few times just to make sure that I was happy with it's size. It was a pricey purchase and i wanted to make sure. It's my everyday preferred piece and I have never regretted it as its the only bracelet i never get tired of. If anything - I regret not getting it earlier as I would of saved myself a lot of money by not purchasing all the other bracelets I have stopped wearing since I got my LOVE.

Do not regret my thin and regular at all. Love them! My wrist is between 5.25 and 5.5 inches in diameter and i tried the 15 and the 16. The 16 bounced up and down my arm and went down past my wrist and the 15 is great. Still room but doesn't go up and down too much and doesn't bang into anything. Extremely happy with my choice.
