Phoenix, You are a doll to reply and send pics! Much appreciated! Your jewelry is beautiful btw. I am such a jewelry novice and don't own many bangles... one non-hinged so it's big and a couple Clic-H so I have no idea what to want for this piece. Since this piece is so expensive I am afraid to make a mistake. My wrist is a litte larger than yours, maybe short of 14cm. On my left side it is comfortable and on the right side it is more fitted with less room to spare. Neither are uncomfortable but since this clover perlee is a much smaller fit than a Clic-H I'm being cautious. I've never had a bangle that was more fitted. Don't wear a Love bangle etc.

Thanks again for your contribution. If you ever in the mood, would be curious to have a side angle photo to show how much space your bracelet has against when worn. TIA!

Here you go. As you can see, the bracelet hangs a little bit loose on me; but I like it like this, I personally dislike bracelets that are too snug on me. I was thinking actually, the S sounds like it might be a little too snug for your right wrist. I'd go back and try it on again if I were you; leave it on for at least 15-20 mins and walk around the shop and try to do various things with it (like pretending to type on a laptop etc) and see how that feels.

You're so kind to help and post pics! Thank you! So this is what the bracelet looks like on me on my left side which is roomier. Right hand side much less roomy but less likely to wear on that side. Second picture is the bangle pushed up as far as possible.

That looks great on you. The only reason you would want to go bigger is if you were to wear other bangles with it because they will definitely go over the small size. It looks like there is enough room for movement so your decision is more about how it feels on your wrist if that is the wrist you are going to wear it on. Think about whether you prefer a slim fit or if you prefer a larger bangle look.

I like my bangles very loose! I also know someone who is going to custom make a Perlee bangle and you may want to do that if the small amount makes a difference for you. You should ask to try the medium on , it may fit better then you think.
GL!

Do you know if they charge more to make a custom size? I tried on the bangles and felt that the medium was too big on me but the small was maybe a bit skimpy. SA didn't tell me they would/could custom make the bangles.

Oh oh, I just remembered something: Do your wrists swell up a little during the summer/ in warmer climates? That might be something to think about.
