Hi! I just posted the question in the cartier love bracelet thread. Sorry to start a new thread but hopefully more people will be able to see this.

DH is going to Paris for a B-trip. We are hoping to take the opportunity to get a love wedding band over there. I wonder if anyone happen to know what the price is in France?
I am also not familiar with Cartier sizing. I am a Tiffany size 4.5 should I get Cartier size 48 (4.5 )? Thank you in advance!

Not sure re the price in France but I have the Love wedding band in rosé gold and had to size up by one size - I normally wear a size 54 on my right hand and needed a 55 which is comfortable on (not tight but not loose either). I personally find that Cartier's sizing tends to run small on rings.

Oh thank you! That's super helpful. I usually wear US size 4 and found myself have to size up at Tiffany's to 4.5. Wondering if I should size up even more at Cartier.

I just bought the YG Cartier Love Wedding Band a few weeks ago and the 4 fit perfectly. So for me, the sizing was TTS.

I guess it just depends on the person - definitely try it on if you can before purchase :smile1: It might be worth ringing the store in advance to see if they can get in two or three sizes for you to try on? Good luck, it is a beautiful ring so I'm sure you will love it! I'm hoping to get the YG one at some point to wear with my YG cuff :graucho:

Def get it! I love the look of wearing the band and cuff together.

I just came back from a trip to Paris and the VAT refund is 12%, even though the current VAT rate is higher.

Hello TPF,

I'm thinking about getting a Love bracelet in YG. I've been hearing about the VAT refund that you can get while in Europe. Would it really be a good idea to Purchase a Love Bracelet in Paris instead buying it in the USA?

Thank you
