Went to get my pieces shine yesterday and tried on the Clash in 15 & 16 BUT it left me even more confused on sizing. I have read this entire Clash forum 118pages hahaha n sort found some post helpful.
I love how the Clash 15 fits n sits well with my love BUT it doesn't go freely pass my wrist bone although it felt comfortable. I find the Clash 16 to be big n overlapping with Love but if I put it closer to my wrist it's fine n falls down freely over my wrist bone.
For ref my wrist is 15cm, my Loves are 17 & sm Juc 16 all on the loose fittings. So when I tried the 2 sizes down of Clash 15 it felt like it kinda hold n balance the loose fittings I have. My dilemma is will I be comfortable with such a snug fit in the long run? Hope these pictures helps... need some input pls.

It’s a preference but I am the same size love and JUC and my clash is a 16. Just looking at the picture of how the 15 fits you, for ME, I would find that much too tight. Especially in a stack, bracelets should have some movement.

Thanks for providing pictures of how the different sized Clash bracelets look on your wrist!

I think you need to ask yourself a few questions before making your final decision:
-Do you plan on wearing the Clash everyday as part of a stack OR will it be an occasional piece?
-Do you tend to wear your bracelets 24/7 (even the ones that can be easily removed)?
-Do you tend to swell in hotter weather and find your bracelets feel more snug?
-Would you be okay if the Clash 15 was the only piece that didn’t freely pass over your wrist bone?
-Does the overlapping bother you?

I am really big on comfort so if a bracelet couldn’t pass freely over my wrist bone, it would be a pass for me. If your current bracelets are all on loose settings, I think you should stick with that trend and get the Clash 16… unless you will only wear it occasionally, in which case maybe the Clash 15 might be better for the “look” and you don’t have to care too much about the wrist bone issue as you won’t be wearing it for extended periods of time.

I think it also depends on where the bracelet will sit within your stack - your arm gets meatier the further away from your fingers! :giggle:

Thank you for the thorough reply I really appreciate it. You bring up a few valid food for thoughts.
I don't plan to stack the Clash, probably just with one reg love, that the Clash will sit closer to elbow so the love can freely flow down to my hand. Also maybe will wear it with a watch when going out but definitely wear Clash on its own. Sadly, I have wrist arms nerve issue, I can't even wear 2 regular loves 24/7 on for more than a week. The most I can is just 1 reg love n juc comfortably. I can't even use my right arm for any bracelet due to an old injury 😔. I wear it on my left. In fact as I type this I'm not even wearing any bracelets in both arms :sad: I did used to wear my thin love n sm juc 24/7 for few months, then wearing 2 loves 24/7 less than 4 weeks, my wrist issue flared up.
It is currently summer here n I swear i could have gone with love 16 comfortably even in summer but I know I don't like to wear anything constricting 24/7 hence I went with a loose fitting stack to be safe. I couldn't stand the overlapping, drives me insane!
The question on will I be okay with Clash 15 not freely passing my wrist bone is a very good question? Honestly I don't know, perhaps IF I do take the 15 I would treat it as wearing a watch since it can easily be taken on off. While the 16 will definitely be as comfortable n loose as my Loves without worrying in the future. If I do get the 16, it will sit closer to my hand as picture. Need to try it again this week🙈

I’m so sorry to hear about your wrist pain :( You definitely don’t want to make it worse by having too many bracelets stacked on your wrist.

It might be worth you heading back to the boutique and trying on the Clash again but on its own - just so you know how it feels to wear it as a stand alone piece - as you don’t plan to stack it. Bring your watch and try it on with that as well :)

I think the bracelet looks great in the picture you posted above so I am leaning toward you getting the 16 but take your time deciding. This is not a cheap piece and you want to nail the perfect size for you!

I should ask in store, but I would rather ask here...

Does the small clash bracelet (non flexible) come in white gold? I don't think I've seen one on the website before.

I wanted to purchase the necklace (pendant style) in white gold, but was told it only comes in rose gold.

Anyone else’s bracelet just opens up randomly? I have two - one small and one medium and they both have this issue. They told me to bring it back if it seems it got “loose” but it always did even from the get. I was shocked to see it hanging halfway off my wrist yesterday

My top clasp opened twice but not the bottom latch. Another TPFer has the same issue. Bring it in and they’ll fix it…I’ve def loosened the top part after getting it back from repair but now it does not open randomly
