Would love to see a pic of how your love sits on your wrist if that's easy for you to upload?! Helping in the quest to sort this out!!
IMO this is similar to how my 17 fits and I think the stack looks great on you! What's your wrist size? I also debated between 16 and 17 (16.5 would've been perfect for me, haha!) and went for the latter. There were times that I've thought "hmm maybe I should've picked 16" (because I prefer it to sit higher on my arm) but after the recent heatwave in the UK, I'm so glad that I didn't get the 16 - it would have literally stuck to my arm with very little movement, which would NOT have been fun in the sweltering heat!
 
Haha, not after the Hillary Duff look either! I like the look of the loose fit, it just feels uncomfortable as It does travel around a fair bit due to the bigger size which I find annoying. Am stuck with them so REALLY hope I get used to it ASAP! Do you have any photos of your bracelet to share? Thx so much for your input, it is appreciated!!
I've been wearing mine since end of April this year and most of the time I'm not aware of it at all unless I'm thinking about it. I find that it's happy place is usually a little higher up on my forearm which I like because it's a bit better protected I think. When I want it down lower I just pull it back down :smile: To be fair I never tried on the 16, I am nowhere near a boutique so I had it sent to me and I went with the 17 on the associates recommendation when I mentioned a Tiffany bracelet in 6.5 inches that I liked the fit of. I also obsessively looked at pictures of celebrities wearing the bracelets and decided I liked the looser look. I prefer it to look a little bigger rather than like I'm trying to squeeze in to something that is a little too small. I was going more for Angelina Jolie and Reese Witherspoon as opposed to Hilary Duff haha.

I shared a few further up but here's a couple of it at work and at play with me! :P

Did you go straight from wearing none to wearing two together? Wearing two would definitely be more noticeable/potentially annoying for me haha. I also don't think you'll ever let yourself really forget about them as long as they are forefront in your mind like this, so maybe just give it some time and see if you can adjust to them and if not there's always the option of selling and starting over if you absolutely have to!

Thanks for letting me know about your friends -- as I'm now stuck with the size 17 it does make me feel better knowing some successfully have a looser fit! Will give it a good go and try and get used to them before selling them if they don't work out! The Heathrow SA advised me to wear a sweatband around them when working out to avoid friction, your friend may prefer that option rather than a terry cloth!! Think you made the right decision with 16 but it does make your JUC choice more difficult. If the 16 fits fairly snugly than 15 may be too tight. Will upload a pic of JUC in 16 on my wrist tomorrow for you to View if that helps?

Sweat band! What a great idea. I just nicked mine the other day at the gym when I was putting weights away. :(

It took a couple days to get used to, but now I wear it nonstop. I'll take it off before going on vacation (annoying going through airport security with it on) and my wrist feels naked without it on. Haha.

Yes, go get a sweatband!! Would never have thought of it if the SA had not advised but now it makes total sense :) I travel often for work and so far (in a very short timespan) have not had any issues through going through security!

Also, yes --purchased the YG love and the WG thin love both together so perhaps that is why I'm having trouble! The YG screws came undone whilst I am travelling for work, so only wearing the WG thin for now. Maybe slowly does it with getting used to wearing them ;)

How does it feel when wearing with a watch? I can never wear things on my right wrist due to work, but my watch is worn daily in my left wrist.
It's pretty comfortable with a watch on but I usually put a "soft" bracelet in between the love bracelet and my watch to prevent scratches and the clanging noise the metals make when they're not buffered.

Not really an answer to your question, but I moved my watch to my right hand. Getting used to a watch on my right hand was easier to get used to than a Love on it.

Can I ask your wrist size is? I'm literally in the same situation as you were: in-between sizes 16 & 17, and DH is buying it at Heathrow tomorrow, by himself. So no exchanges or returns :-(

I tried on the size 16 & 17 bangles a couple of months ago, and I'm still agonizing over the size on a daily basis.

I thought I had decided on the 17, but your post of making me second guessing myself, again, lol.

Ironically I'm at the Heathrow Cartier right now picking up another piece. After one week of "getting used" to the bracelet I am SO PLEASED with my 17!!!! I fly frequently and feel the 16 would be too tight, especially in summer and I now love that it is not sooo tight, I enjoy that it has movement and does t look like it is cutting off my circulation . I would say though that it did take a week of freaking out to come to this conclusion! My SA at Terminal 5 just said that they have NO loves without diamonds but they do have the slim loves (2 slims together look so beautiful!). They may have a JUC in a 16 I think. Ask for Steven and say that Sasha advised your DH speak to him, he is great! Good luck and please keep me posted!
