Hi! I want to share a photo of a small bracelet and ask for advice. I'm 47 years old and I'm worried that my weight is changing. Do you think this bracelet has a margin for weight fluctuations? My wrist is near the bone is 15.5 cm, the bracelet size is 16.
I apologize if I am writing inaccurately, I am not a native speaker :smile:

Your writing is perfect. It is hard to tell from pictures. I would recommend you not wear it and ask to try on the size one up. That will tell you instantly. It’s what I did with my ring. I went back and forth and thought about it a lot and, once I got to try the other ring I knew instantly that the one I already had was right.

I'm the same measurement at my wrist (15.5cm) and take the same size (16). You could go to a 17 but depends on you if you can handle that much movement. Also not sure if you're right handed or left, but if you are right handed and want to wear it on your right, the 16 may be tighter and uncomfortable if you gain.

I gained some weight (about 15kg over a period of time 😣) and my bracelets were tighter on both my left and right sides. Still wearable on my left but I definitely felt weight gain in my wrists (and fingers!). I am not done yet but I have lost about 6kg so far and it's made a big difference.

Looking at how much room you have in your photos, I feel there is definitely room.

Oh! Thank you for your experience! And I wish you success on your way :heart:

Thank you! There is no store where I live, unfortunately. Right now the size is perfect and I tried on a size 17 - it was uncomfortable when the bracelet was near the wrist. I just wanted to understand whether such a reserve is sufficient for weight fluctuations.

Oh good. If you tried on the 17 and it doesn’t work for you, then that is your answer.

It doesn’t make any sense to buy for a possibility in the future. You seem to have same room “to grow” and you don’t know if you will gain in that area or not.

Beyond that, it is going to be really hard for someone to give you a reliable answer. There are too many variables. Besides, if you do gain and it becomes too small, I bet you’ll be able to sell it and buy a new one.

So sorry I must have missed where you said you had tried the 17. If that is the case then you know your answer. Apologies!

Hi! It’s my first post here and I just wanted to get y’all’s opinion on which should be my first Clash de Cartier piece. I have a small JUC ring and small Love bracelet that I love, and I’m considering a YG medium necklace or a RG mini model earring. What do you think? :)
Appreciate any insights!

Hi love! Camilaa, please think of purchasing the clash ring in the small model, YG.. I just bought mine last week in Vegas, and I’ve been wearing it ever since; it’s very comfortable despite the heavy weight to it. It’s one of my favorite Cartier pieces ever! It’s extremely well made and in my opinion an excellent price ( $2,510). It’s truly stunning and such beautiful detail. 🥰

I noticed that almost everyone here is into the Clash bangle without diamonds. My WG collection are entirely non diamond while my gold comprise of Rainbow/Menotte and a single Diamond cuff. I saw the RG Clash Medium when I was there to get my cords changed…. Bad day for my wallet …

@ARMCANDIES everyone is into the Clash bangle without diamonds bc the one with diamonds is $30K!!!

Not true. While I’m sure there are many who find it beautiful but unobtainable, there are those of us who believe that the diamonds fundamentally change the design and makes it less edgy. All in the eye of the beholder.
