I made sure to get sized for my bracelet after a day of waddling around the Upper East Side so that I would be sure it would fit comfortably in all seasons.įrequently Asked Questions about the Cartier Love bracelet:
My hands swell, especially in the summer. But it is custom-made Cartier, so there’s that. Cartier can custom-make your size for additional 30% fee (and undoubtedly a bit of a wait). They probably sell dozens of these things a day, so they know what they’re talking about. The sales associates are very helpful and non-judgmental and will work to get you the best size. Though Cartier has a sizing guide on their site, try going into a store to get fitted if you can. I have a very large wrist, and this size fits me well (I don’t like things to be too tight).
I wear a size 21, which is the largest size Cartier stocks (though I think they are stocked in small quantities - mine had to be retrieved from an off-site “vault” here in NYC). Though I’m not particularly a sentimental person, it’s what my husband used to propose to me, and I don’t want to take it off if I don’t have to.īelow is what I’ve learned shopping for, and wearing, the bracelet for so long: I’ve been wearing my Love bracelet for seven years, and have, literally, never taken it off. But times have changed (thankfully) and now, if you’ve got the dough, you can get the bracelet. According to legend, when it launched they would only sell it to couples who came in the boutique together. Cartier’s Love Bracelet - you know the one, it’s the gold bangle that gets screwed on your wrist - has been an iconic part of their collection since the 70s.
