Hey! For the past few days I’ve been vaccillating between a VCA 6 motif bracelet or a Love bracelet (small or classic). I am *tentatively* decided on the Love for now but am torn on which model to get! I have tiny wrists (the 15 will even be a bit big still, but I don’t mind if it slides around) and have been told that the classic may look a bit clunky / large on me while the thin will suit the petiteness a bit better.

I’ve read a million PurseForum posts that say the thin is simply too small / insubstantial to look good on its own, or that if someone gets the thin, they’ll just want the Classic. I would just go try one on and see for myself but am living for the summer in a different city (job) with no nearby Cartier store. I would love input from fellow small wrist havers on this and to see some pictures of either Small or Large model! I HOPE, if I saw that it looked nice on a small wrist, I’d feel fine getting it and wouldn’t be pining and wishing I’d gotten the bigger one. But I can’t tell!
 
There are tons of women on this forum that share the 15. Here's the 15 on me. I'm sure you can find some videos on YouTube which may help more than a photo.

[If you've been reading this forum, you've probably already heard my story (so sorry if this is repeat) - I was convinced I wanted the small love but when I tried it on, it really looked like I was wearing a kid's bracelet on my small wrist. I was really surprised.]

Good luck! Whichever you decide they are both beautiful!

I would echo the concerns you mentioned as an SM owner since 2017; wanted a classic, thought SM would suit my wrist, looks underwhelmed on its own, now I want a classic.

Here’s a pic of both styles. You may have seen this in another thread.

I have a small love size 15. I intended to buy a cuff, but I actually liked the small better. I like to stack, and I’ll get the cuff eventually, but, I think the small still has enough presence on its own. That said- it doesn’t scream love bracelet. It’s like carrying a LV empreinte bag instead of monogram.

I have a 13cm wrist and bought the 15cm small love recently. I think its perfectly sized for me (initially was conflicted between the 15/16cm). Here's my love together with the small JUC stacked - the sizes are just right for the small wristed! I do love dainty jewellery so it was always going to be the small for me. The classics are too substantial, and too loud when its stacked (on me).

Small wrist here! I feel like we all go through the same thing of thinking the classic is too much. Heres me and my 15 classic “in real life”. I got it this past march and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I think the small is best for stacking.View attachment 5113742
I totally agree with you, I think the classic looks good on everyone! It definitely looks great on you :)

I also agree. I actually like both the sm and classic for different reasons. I don’t think the classic love bracelet is too much. I don’t think it’s as “obvious” and flashy as people sometimes think it is. At least where I live. It sometimes feels like this sentiment is amplified on here because folks on Purseforum know, love, and own these pieces themselves. They can spot these iconic pieces in the wild from a mile away. Or maybe it’s just super commonplace in their friend groups or social circles. As for myself, I don’t see VCA or Cartier pieces in the wild everyday but I know of people in NYC, LA, or the Bay Area who do.

I've been searching for size 15 in youtube but i think i saw only 2 youtubers. =P
And then i found this thread.

I'm done with Chanel (ya know, the exponential price hike of late?). I'm now ready for a love bracelet (that was in the back of my head for years but it got stronger after 1Jul2021).

My wristbone measures 14.4cm. I definitely don't prefer loose fit and my friend says likely 15 is my size. But i'll try 15 and 16 to be sure.

I'm set on the classic YG but do you think it will go with my tiny VCA in YG too? I don't remove my VCA and will not be too for my future love bracelet and i will not be getting a 3rd bracelet. I will wear them till my arm is withered. I wanna get the hack of ROI. lol. (Still a bit in shock mode on Chanel $$).
