Mine is the 5 link one and I didn't even know there was a 6 link one. I wear mine slightly looser but it still rests above my wrist bone (but then, I have big wrist bones lol). So, I guess i'd describe it as fitting slightly looser than a PM CDC but the same as a GM CDC on the second hole for me...if that makes sense. It's v comfortable on. Some might find it heavy: I got used to the weight surprisingly quickly and forget it's on. HTH!

Thank you very much plumtree, so thoughtful of you! :smile1:
I think we may be about the same size, but could I bother you to measure your wrist? :p
Knowing your measurements will help me to judge how the 5 link Espionne might fit me, based on your photos.

My wrist measures approximately:
5 3/4" (148 mm) just above the wrist bone
6 1/8" (155 mm) at the wrist bone
6 1/4" (160 mm) just below the wrist bone.

And could you possibly measure your bracelet length (end to wearable end), laying flat, and width?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to try both the 5 and 6 link at my boutique, so your info is greatly appreciated!
Hopefully not too much trouble! :wondering

Hi etoile de mer! I have HUGE wrist bones:
My wrist measures approximately:
15cm just above the wrist bone
16cm at the wrist bone
14.9cm just below the wrist bone (i.e. towards my hand).

Wearable end to end, the bracelet is 17.7cm, width 3.1cm. HTH!!

Thank you plumtree, you're the best! We are almost wrist twins! I just made a paper mock-up of the 5 link, and the 6 link (assuming same size links as 5 link). :p The 6 link would easily just fall off :sweatdrop: especially as you note it's a heavy bracelet! So very helpful to know I'm looking for the 5 link! Thank you again for all your help. ;) So nice of you!

Plumtree, thank you for showing your collection. You have such a diverse one it is amazing to look at. I love your action posts too as we can get a great idea how they look being worn (and you wear them well).

Looks great on you and I really like the 120 length as I think it is a great length to wear a couple ways.

Many thanks plumtree, so nice of you! This looks beautiful on you, :love: and now I'm wondering about sizing! When I inquired a while back, I believe my sales associate said the Espionne bracelet comes in two sizes (with five links or six, I think she said). Do you wear yours snug, like a CDC, or loose, so that rests slightly below your wrist bone if your arm is down at your side? I'm not sure how it's meant to fit, but I think I'd prefer a loose fit, like the fit of my round, extra-wide printed enamel bracelets (I wear a PM size ). Although maybe this style is more comfortable as a snug fit? I'd love to hear all your thoughts about sizing! :smile1:

Hi etoile de mer, I have the 6 link espionne and 7 1/4 - 7 3/4 inch wrists. I like to stack and the espionne fits on smaller wrist with a men's black/silver CDC in front of it. Or, on the larger wrist with the boucle sellier geant in front of it. I couldn't wear the espionne by itself or it would fall off whichever wrist it was on. I am surprised that the espionne is still available b/c I got mine maybe 2-3 years ago. But if you can get it, it's a great look.

Hi eagle, happy to help. I usually wear the Meteore ring on my left hand and either a CDC ring or a Croisette ring on my right for some reason. But this works too! HTH!

Thanks eagle, I didn't know it wasn't still a current item! My sales associate is away, so haven't yet inquired.
