Did you size up your 5 motif compared to cartier size?

Hi all
I will be purchasing a 5 motif MOP and do not live near a VCA store to try sizes. I would be very grateful for some sizing help.
I currently wear a size 17 love bracelet and would love to know if those who also wear a love bracelet went with the same size for their 5 motif or sized up?
Thanks kindly
Edit: by size, I refer to the link removal :-) in my country they refer to resizing in cm’s ie 19, 18, 17. Whereas in other countries I have noticed they refer to resizing as link removal (1 link, 2 link etc).

For VCA 5 motif there is only one size but you can take out or add links as needed once free of charge for 12 months. If you are size 17, you may need to take out some links if you want it more fitted. For reference, I wear a Love size 18 and can wear the 5 motif without any adjustments.

Thank you so much for your insight :-) and oops, yes, sorry my question referred to the link removal. I believe the bracelet is 19cm long, so it appears yours is 1cm bigger than your love bracelet.

Hello, As I saw on several forum, It's better to have one size up the VCA compared to the Cartier Love. I have done this for myself (Cartier Love on 17 and VCA on 18). I will get my VCA on Saturday (return from the ateliers). I will let you know if you want.

I wear a size 17 love as well and my SA know the size to advise based on this. I like my bracelets snug so I believe it 2 links removed which is 4 total

Thank you so much for your response. Would love to know if your 5 motif sits behind the love (i.e the motif is closer to the direction of your elbow)?

Hi, I typically don’t stack my alhambra with any other bracelet. I wear it alone on my right arm, and my love and other bracelets on my left. I do wear my love closest to my elbow with those though. I wear mine snug so nothing moves too much.

Both of my love and VCA 5 motif bracelet are in 16cm, falling about 2.5-3 inches below my wrist when my hands are upright. Any smaller and it would’ve been snug, lacked movement, and difficult to put on.

Ps. I wear them on separate arms. Cartier love & JUC on my left; VCA on the right. I tried them all together, but I realized I prefer my bangles and chain bracelets separate.
