Hi considering the PG ecrou to go with my rainbow and classic PG loves. I dont have a juc and it seems a lot of size feedback is that they’re similar. My wrist is 16 cm and loves are 18. Does the ecrou run large that I may need 17 ? I live near a boutique but online it says next appt December :shocked: thanks!

Hi, The JUC runs big so they recommend going one size down than the love. However, If your love bracelets are an 18, I'd recommend going for an 18. My Loves are a 17 and I tried on the Ecrou in both 16 and 17, 16 because I had also read/heard that it ran big, but because of the nuts on the bracelet to have a more comfortable fit, id recommend sticking to the Love bracelet sizing. Hope this helps. :)

I think that in your case, you could wear a 17. The bracelet part is similarly sized to JUC, but the motifs make it feel about .5cm smaller. I have a 17 Ecrou and the circumference is about 16.5cm. My wrist is 15.5cm and I kinda wish my Ecrou was about .5cm smaller.
 
Can I understand how does SO work in Cartier world?
I know how Hermes bag SO works but I think jewellery is different?

Do you only can choose what website has but SO an unavailable size? Or you can choose a collection and make something else out of it? Can you SO a model in different metal? Fee wise?

maybe this is a little OOT.

But I think the earrings are awesome! Can I see a modshot? I've never looked into ecrou much (not my style) however this pair looks so stylish and it rocks.

Thank you. I’m loving these earrings. Just may get the bracelet to match - a girl can dream, right?

I hate RG. Cartier does it well, but I still am not a fan. So I asked my SA if I could SO these earrings in YG. My SA said he believed so since YG is a standard metal at Cartier, but to be sure, he checked with the Cartier gods. After a few days, I was told it was possible, so I went ahead and verbally put in the order. No down payment. Fast forward 9 months, I was told Cartier (Paris) was ready to make my item and a 50% deposit was due. I paid, so they presumably started making the earrings. Fast forward another 6 months which was the beginning of September 2021, I was told the earrings were about complete and would be ready at the end of of the month. Then on 9/28, I was told they were here and that I needed to pay the remaining 50%. Just FYI, there is a 30% up charge on the item at the price when the item is completed (same policy as Hermès). So for example, if you order Jan 1 but there is a price increase on Feb 1 and your item is available on Mar 1, you are paying the extra 30% on the increased price that occurred on Feb 1.

I feel like the SO options are somewhat vast. It depends on what you want. For example, I was once considering a YG Rainbow Love, and my SA asked me which particular stones I wanted. I actually got to pick them out from the stones Cartier had available. I ended up cancelling this order due to a change of heart though — I love the Love bracelet but I think owning 4 Loves (2 reg, 2 small) is enough.

My advice is to dream it and ask your SA. The worst they can say is no.
 
Here is a quick pic, on my way to work this morning. I would say they are moderately heavy for earrings overall— not uncomfortable per se, but they make you aware you are wearing jewelry when you have these on for those of us minimalists. I really like it though. There is something about the “weightiness” of Cartier jewelry that makes it feel so substantial and luxe.

Ecrou Sizing

I stopped by Cartier last week to do some preliminary research regarding Ecrou bracelet sizing.

My Cartier sizing for reference:
Love - 17
JUC - 16

I first tried on a size 17 — it was large enough on my wrist that the nuts overlapped my love bracelet which I do not care for. It’s a complete no-go for me. Then I tried on a size 16 — it was slightly too tight making removal more on the difficult side. Although it doesn’t overlap the adjacent love bracelet.

Photos of the size 16 for reference. Please note that this is a photo of my swollen wrist after walking over 10 miles just prior. It could also be why the size 16 was on the tighter side.

It would be awesome if there were in between sizes (i.e. size 16.5)….but alas, no such thing. If I do indeed get this bracelet, I am likely to get the size 16 just because I prefer a tighter fit that doesn’t overlap my stack.

I’m hoping this post helps others with the same dilemma.
