No worries. I've actually found the process of searching for the right person to make my bracelet really enjoyable. And I spent ages browsing forums and images and designers for inspiration (I'm crap at coming up with ideas from scratch!) it was the perfect excuse to spend hours browsing jewellery knowing I was getting to create something even better!
If you did want something branded Bvlgari do a B.Zero 1 cuff or bangle in various different options (I have a steel and rose gold cuff, but I've seen all gold, rose with ceramic, white gold and diamond) and their small size is 15cms I believe so may fit you better if you like the style! 
I was the same way as you. I wanted to be able to take my jewelry off 123 so I got the Cartier JUC then I went to get the love cuff and didn't love it on me so I got the love bangle which I thought would take some major getting used to and honestly I forget it's even on now. It's been 5 months and counting and I've never taken it off. I go for runs with it on all the time.

Agreed. Bvulgari cuffs work for a small wrist. I really like them.
Thanks @missyb and @MyDogTink for all the recommendations. I"ll look at the Bvlgari cuff.
Does it annoy you when running? How about all the movement up and down the arm when running? Even when I have my garmin on tight, it starts moving once I start sweating. Have you done any halfs/marathons with it on? What about speed work - like 6:30 pace miles?

I bought the cuff for that reason. I could not stand wearing a hard love bracelet through any kind of run, let alone a speed workout. Too much movement. I have a VCA sweet that I have worn through speed workouts at 6:30 pace and half marathons. I take everything off except my studs when I do a full. When I retire from full marathons I will get a full white gold love for my left arm. Maybe...
And I also worried about the cuff falling off because I have very skinny wrists, 5 inches, under 13cm. But so far no prob. And admittedly I take it off for chores, high intensity and weight workouts too. The cuff works for my lifestyle.

Thank you @EpiFanatic ! I can't even imagine wearing a VCA sweet bracelet during a run - maybe it's not so bad because it's so dainty? I don't even wear studs, I'd probably check them constantly and lose my pace! We have similar measurements so I'm relieved that the cuff feels more secure on. Did you squeeze it a little smaller?
So jealous you run marathons, I don't have the time yet to train for them.
You can't (shouldn't) squeeze the cuff. It is what it is. You would be surprised how durable the sweet is. It's super light so I don't even remember it's on. Never had a problem with my studs. I would say go for the love cuff. Even if you went custom which I did consider and I even met with a designer, it won't scratch the itch for the cuff. I predict you will go back to it even if you don't get it now.
I could swear there's a 15cm that can be special ordered. Might be worth calling Cartier and asking.
@restricter Yes, you can special order 15, but my SA said the cost is an extra 30%! She also said at that point, you might as well special order any size you want ... like 15.31 cm etc.
@EpiFanatic I was thinking about making a custom cuff, but you're right that I would still want the love cuff. Also, I feel overwhelmed when I have lots and lots of choices, which is why I hate remodeling.

I wear my love bracelet (not bangle) and HATE having bracelets on at work so I'm wearing a sweatband over it almost all day. I know it's ridiculous which is why I didn't wear mine at first but this time once it's on, it's ON.
Hi Neilsmum,
I was gifted a size 18 which is nice but on a loose side. I have just given birth and may lose more weight. So I was thinking if I should go down to a size 17.
Mind if I ask, how many kg did you lose? Will give me an idea on how much I would be too?
Thank you!

Hi! I’m very interested in the pink gold Love cuff. I was just sized for it and at size 16, it is snug and I love it. But my husband and I are trying to conceive our first baby so I was wondering, has anyone purchased the cuff or bracelet and it no longer fit after pregnancy? What would you do?
I've had a size 17 cuff for 6 years now. It fit me the same pre-pregnancy, during my first pregnancy, afterwards, and now that I'm pregnant with my second. I honestly don't think wrists change in size that much? I have more issues with rings, but that changes almost day-to-day. I suppose everyone is different, but I wouldn't really worry about it.
