Cartier Love Bracelet Sizing Thread!
- Thread starter BellaBoo
- Start date
If I had to choose between something relatively too tight or too loose, I'd rather go with too loose. It's the same for clothes and rings for me. It's more comfortable to me.
However, I do prefer my love bracelet to have more space. That way I can stack or wear a watch.
Especially in this day and age where people are bold enough to point a gun at you for a Chanel bag, I also like the choice of being able to push them under long sleeves to be more inconspicuous. (sad, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.)
I have the regular love and am wearing a size 16, and the distance of movement for me is about 3 inches. (~7.6 cm)
I remember when I put on the size 15, it was stuck very close to my hand and only had 1 inch of space, and that was too close for comfort for me.
But all in all, it really depends on your preferences and what you feel comfortable with. If you like a more fitted bracelet, and you still really really want the love, I'd go custom made. Maybe you can go ask your SA about what he/she thinks about getting a custom made bracelet and you can get more info to help you decide.
Good luck!

I bought my love bracelet about a month ago and my SA insisted that the 16 was my size. I tried the 17 and she said that was too big so I went with what she said. It feels fine but yesterday was a particularly hot day and now I’m questioning if it’s too small. I’m out of the return or exchange window but I guess I could sell this one and rebuy the 17. What do you think? Is the 16 too snug?!?!!
My JUC fits exactly the same way as your Love and I feels as though it’s the right size. Any larger would fall into your palm.
Looks ok but only you can tell if it's uncomfortable...I went with 17 after trying the 16 myself. I liked the fit of the 16 but not comfortable with the snugness...
Yes I didn’t go with the 17 because it fell into my palm and the 16 is perfect unless it’s super hot and humid, they it’s uncomfortable. But it always leaves marks. Is that normal? I think my forearm is meatier than my wrist. My wrist is very thin but my forearm is thicker. The pictures are from when I just woke up hense all the marks
Just speaking from personal experience (and I only own a JUC and not a love), but I think that no bracelet is perfect 100% of the time, if you live in a climate with varying seasons. In the heat & humidity, my JUC has a tad less mobility than in the winter. JUCs (and loves, I’m sure) will leave marks first thing in the morning because you’re pressing into them while you sleep. But if it’s reasonably comfortable during the day, in the heat and humidity, I think you have the right size.
Ok! I went back to the Cartier store. 40 days later- they were amazing. They did an exchange even though I’ve been wearing the bracelet the whole time. I got the 17. But now I’m ugh is it too big ♀️

But is it comfortable? I prefer the 16 over the 17 like so many others and went with the 17 because I was not comfortable with the snug fit of the 16
I should wear a 16 based on measurements but I wear three 17cm loves. I did not want something that tight on my wrist every day! I can turn mine all the way around if I want. 
That’s how the 17 is on me. I can turn it all the way around. I feel like I need a 16.5. But I guess I’ll just have to get used to the 17. The 16 was just too snug for my liking I think.
