Unfortunately I don't know, and I recall on the thread about it people in different locations had different quotes re: price, ranging from 30-60%. I would start by calling customer service as well as the closest boutique.
Regular Love bracelet too big. Should I sell and buy a smaller one?

Thanks, I will definitely give them a call and see what they say. They could also probably recommend which boutique to send it to. I measured my wrist, and it's 6" in diameter. According to the converter, that's 15.24cm? So I would need a 16? That just doesn't sound right. Seems too small to me. I'm thinking I'd need an 18 at the smallest.
16 will be too small. The Cartier sizing suggests 1cm for snug fit and 2cm for loose fit. IF you could try 17 and 18 on in person I think that would be the safest. I took a day trip to my nearest boutique for the same reason, trying to guess is stressful.
My wrist is exactly 6” behind the bone and 6.2” over the bone (I have a protruding bony wrist bone). I got a 17 small love. It’s snug fit bc of the wrist bone. I would have loved to try the 18 but my closest store isn’t an easy trip for me. If I was to get a regular size love I’d definitely want the 18 for a loser fit. I think 19 would probably be too big (unless you want it super loose).
On another note though the 18 cuff fits me perfectly (with a loser fit….go figure….I think I’m actually probably between sizes for full love).
Thanks! Good to know. I'm thinking an 18 would be a good fit. Considering how big the 20 is on me, I don't imagine the 19 would be that much smaller. I don't want it to fit snug, but I don't want it as big as it is now either.
So I finally got the quote back from Fashionphile. They're offering me $3700. Is that worth it? I paid a little over $6k for it back in 2021. I'm considering it.
Hmm, you would end up spending ~ $1500 more this way after re purchasing (new). I would pursue the 30% resizing option over the FP offer.
Oh, everything I've read on here says 60%, that the 30% was only a special thing? I need to just call Cartier's customer service and inquire directly through them. Since we don't have a boutique in Colorado at all, I don't have a specific SA that I've ever worked with. I've always just ordered my Cartier pieces online. Thanks!
Like I said earlier, definitely worth finding out!
This sounds strange to me - most preowned Love I have seen sell for much higher than this? And I don't think your Love look that "used"? Anyway, I think that price from FP is way too low. I would try selling it through another site or use the Cartier option.
