Oh wow. You can really see how thick that one side is in that picture. I wonder if the unbalance can be felt when worn.
Right?!
I didn't like the feeling of it as I found it to be very oblong compared to a typical bangle shape. I didn't wear it long enough to tell if it would have a tendency during regular daily activities it to lean one-sided due to its weight differences but I would presume that's a possibility?

Looks nicer worn than as displayed.

Thanks for sharing the mod shot; First time I get to see this combo!
The bracelet is beautiful in the half pave and the Tiffany diamonds sparkle so beautifully. The reason I didn’t buy it was I felt with how thick the gold part is and how it sits higher, it would be more prone to scratches. Obviously I’m use to that with the love, but I figured I’d see what wear is like on other people first and what the bracelet looks like after the high shine starts to patina. If you zoom in on the bracelet I tried in store, you’ll see it already had little hairline scratches. Maybe that wouldn’t bother some but it would (possibly) bother me!

I can relate on the part where higher bracelet tends to suffer the scratches. Therefore on a hindsight, ever since I started wearing the Juc (pairing with love), I notice my love doesn’t get as much scratches because the Juc head kinda buffer the knocks! But then, I don’t really see the Juc having much wear and tear. I’d say that is a perfect pairing.

The JUC and Love are like peanut butter and jelly. :love::lol:
 
If I were you, I'd go for the Cartier Love in size 17. I understand it is slightly bigger than what you like or are used to, but don't we all age and gain a little weight over time? Why go for a smaller? Or settle for a completely different design?

Personally I prefer my bangles a little bit bigger, I like the looser look. Here are some inspiration photos. I actually really dislike how some ppl wear their Cartier LOVE so tight, it's not good for blood circulation.

Does anyone prefer the Tiffany lock bracelet over the Cartier Love? My dilemma with the love bracelet has always been that the 16 is too small to go over my wrist bone, but the 17 is large on me and spins around. Yesterday I happened to be in Tiffany’s and decided to try on the lock bracelet with diamonds and amazingly the size small is literally between a size 16 and 17 and fit my wrist perfectly!! But, here’s the dilemma. I can only pick one and while the lock bracelet fits better, I worry about the longevity of the design in comparison to the classic love bracelet. Would love to hear opinions. Especially if anyone chose the lock over the love? Also, the diamonds showed up more as well. Price wise it’s about 1100 less. View attachment 5715887

There is something about the Tiffany I don't like. The thicker side of it. It just doesn't sit will with me. It doesn't balance out with the other side. But you should get what you really love! I am partial to the LOVE.

Agree! The lack of balance/even width bothers me about this bracelet and makes it harder to stack. I feel like it’s better worn solo.
