I'm back from a shopping trip in HI! I made an appointment with my SA prior to my vacation (really it ended up being more work than vacation) and tried on a whole lot of beautiful pieces. Stock was still pretty low so she had the pieces sent in. What I did end up getting are the Medium Clash ring and small earrings. The Medium bracelet was too big (size 16 - same as my JUC) and would spin on my wrist, so I have a 15 standing by to be sent to me now that I'm back home. I also tried on the necklace in small with diamonds and medium without. Turns out I prefer the small visually, but also felt the diamonds somehow took away from the beautiful form of the piece, so without it is (will probably add that to my order since they didn't have it in store for me to try). The earrings are surprisingly comfortable and I have VERY sensitive ears. I can feel them but they don't hurt. Between these and the JUC earrings I found the clash ones just popped...LOVE them.

I'm waffling a little on the size of my clash ring: Intended for middle or index finger, I took the same size as my standard-size JUC ring: 54. I have big knuckles (thanks to loving to do all kind of thing with my hands) so to clear the knuckle that's what I thought I needed. If I get really cold it slips on/off with a tiny bit of resistance, but this AM my fingers were pretty swollen and I had to really push to get it on. Once on, it's quite loose, but not uncomfortable. Tempted to try one size down but don't want to regret in the future. one view shows ring without me pushing up on the bottom. Comments/feedback welcome!

I love the earrings and the ring on you. Great pair and suits you well. Have you decided on your ring size? I also have large knuckles, so shopping for rings isn't always easy. I always choose a size up. Which is to say, I choose my summer size which is a little looser in the winter.

The Earrings look great on you.
Can't tell you how much I've been thinking about adding them to my Cartier collection!
Going to the store next week to try them on.

I own the small Clash earrings and find it's not comfortable to sleep in at night. Don't get me wrong, it's an outstanding and stunning piece. If you don't mind wearing heavy pieces, then this will be a good option. On me, I love it every time I wear it and I get lots of compliments with it. :heart:

Thank you for sharing dear angelic_kyle19.
I've got quite sensitive ears. But I don't sleep with any jewellery on.
Once I'm back home, all the jewellery comes off.

Is it possible for you to share a picture of you wearing them?
<3

Thank you! I hate taking photos of my hands because knuckles & such. I haven't decided on size yet. I might text my SA (while we're working on the ordering process) and see if she can send a 53 for me to try. Should be getting my other 2 pieces in a week or so.

Summer size is the perfect way to describe it! I also have issues like that with my rings as well :)

I think it’s good to compare. I had the same issue - was between two sizes. In the end I went with the smaller size because it’s the best fit though there is slight struggle to get on and off when my finger is swollen. My concern was that the smaller size could slip off on a cold day..

The earrings look so good on you! Do they feel heavy?

You look amazing with the earrings! i too am planning to get them in a month or two. Glad to hear they aren’t heavy, as I too have sensitive ears and my ears bleed with heavy earrings on…

With the ring, I think this is the right size for you, or at least it seems that way in pics. You can always ask Cartier to put an extra layer of hold inside to make it smaller ( You can have it removed by Cartier later if you wish, though my SA warned me that removing it costs a small fee. I had it done with my rainbow love ring and it no longer slips off of my finger). I think it’s better to get these rings bigger than smaller, as there’s no way to make these rings bigger.
