OMG this is the comparison that I’ve been looking for! Let me tell my friend, she’s so indecisive 🤷🏻♀️ (until now). Thanks for making this video Kim! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
fantastic video! I have the XS pink gold (gift from my kids!) and I LOVE it! have worn for years and it NEVER EVER flips or moves, think it's b/c of Cartier logo weight being just right and logo on XS still noticeable even though smaller- it is lightyears better than TIF DBTY (have from years ago + don't wear, too delicate) which if worn everyday imo would have broken by now and have other brands like Sydney Evan bracelets that have broken - while the XS is thinner, it is quite strong - I wear it solo on right and have a stack on left - it's absolutely worth every penny to go for the Cartier in any size, they are made so, so much better than all others, I even prefer it to my VCA sweet turquoise - I love the dainty look and surprised at how different they look! enjoy!
You said it perfectly! The weight is balanced so well that it just sticks to one spot. I’m still going back and forth on which to keep. Thanks so much for your comment! 🥰🥰🥰
Okay 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel you GF!! Things can’t ever just be cut and dry. I see the how the bigger hanging emblem would change your mind again. It really is beautiful and I concur, it’s an absolute selling point in comparing other versions of this style bracelet. Luckily they are both beautiful so you can’t go wrong with whichever you decide. I inner dialogue so much when choosing pieces! It’s maddening! But I get you mama!!
Omg Yvette! I am going crazy trying to decide! 🤣🤣🤣 That big emblem is so nice. And if Im paying for Cartier I want it to stand out. But I do love the overall look of the smaller one. Why can’t these design houses ever make it easy for us! 😩😩😩
I love this thorough visual comparison video of yours.❤️ I could really see the difference. Love how your pronounced Diamants Legers lol 😂 as I really can’t pronounce it very well. Glad they changed the name to D’Amour. Ah these are both in rose gold. I’m so happy you got what you really wanted - XS size. It’s really like feather light. I can feel it in my necklace too. Wow thanks for including the VCA sweet Alhambra too. I love these three together. I love the charm on the SM. It’s okay you have a change of heart frequently. I’m also like that. Lol. I’m glad you’re keeping both for now. Great video, Kim. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
I stumbled upon your video as I contacted my local Cartier boutique! It helped me decide which size I will go for, I cannot wait to get mine now. Thanks for making this video 🥰
I’m so happy to hear it was helpful! It’s so hard to decide without actually seeing pieces so I really wanted to put a good comparison out there. Hope you get yours soon! 🥰🥰🥰
Great video! Do you mind how it looks when the diamond flips in the small size? I like the small size best for a bracelet too btw! XS for d’amour necklace, but small size for bracelet.
It doesn’t flip over as much as I had I initially thought and even when it does it doesn’t bother me in the least! I’m super happy with the small size and think it was the best decision.
Thank you for this review. I was contemplating whether to get the small or the extra small. I have a smaller wrist and I wanted something dainty. Both are beautiful! ❤
Hello Kim, I have the same dilemma right now and would love to find out what you have decided in the end please? Also is your necklace also Cartier d'Amour? Thank you for your very informative vidoes!
I ended up keeping the small and I still love and wear it all the time! In fact it’s on my wrist now. I definitely think I made the right choice as I really love the stone size and the charm logo size on the small so much more than the XS. Hope this helps! 🤍🤍🤍
Really great video that shows the true representation between both sizes. I'm actually considering adding the necklace version from this line and after watching your video, I'm going to go for the small size as I prefer the thicker and larger logo. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Hiiiii I totally agreed with everything you said then the change of mind later for the bigger logo. I mean that’s a huge factor with such a simple popular bracelet. Always love your videos 😍😌😘
I also think the XS looks good with the van cleef. But the small one looks amazing on it's own! In your opinion, will the small one or XS one look good with a small just un clou bracelet? 🙏🙏
It has held up really nicely so far! I let go of the XS but my VCA has a similar thickness and no issues whatsoever and I wear these almost 24/7. Hope this helps! 🥰
Hi, I've been contemplating on the Sweet Alhambra but am concerned about wear and tear since I wouldn't be taking it off an on to shower. What is your experience on this? Would you recommend this purchase? Thank you!
I do remove it before showering but to be quite honest it has been in water when I do dishes and other water related chores. I feel like it may have shrunk a little as I feel the motif is ever so slightly looser than before. And if it has lost any of its original luster I can’t tell and I just enjoy it. I know it’s $180 or so to get the stone replaced so I am just going to wear it and enjoy it and if needed I’ll get the stone replaced. Hope this helps! 🥰🥰🥰
So Kim which one did you end up keeping? Im also considering the small one. I actually bought another brand but similar style, but will probably return it to get the cartier…
I kept the SM. As stated in the video I really think this design in the XS is so pretty but I just loved the larger logo charm at the end so much more. Some people may find it annoying but I loved seeing it dangle and feel it moving on my wrist. 🥰🥰🥰
Hi on Cartier's UK website, it does not say sm or xm. Instead, it gives the following description "Cartier d'Amour bracelet, yellow gold 750/1000, set with a brilliant-cut diamond totalling 0.13 carats. Thickness: 2.1 mm. Diameter of the pattern: 5.03 mm. Length: 165 to 185 mm (for size 17)." Is this sm or xs and is your one size 17?
In the US, the XS size has the 0.04 carat diamond, the SM size has the 0.09 carat diamond. I was curious and looked at the Cartier listings on selfridges and it looks like they have 0.13 carat diamond version for slightly more money. I’m not sure if this is available in all stores or exclusive to some stores but it’s not available on the US website. In any case if it’s around 0.1 carat it is the SM version and the 0.04 carat is the XS. And the standard length is 17 with 2 adjustable settings but I believe they will do adjustments to make it longer or shorter after purchase. You would have to contact your local Cartier for more information on that. Hope this helps! 🥰🥰🥰
It did...they loved them. One needed to be made 2 cm longer. It should be back this week . The packaging is excellent. Best customer service ever. Beyond anything I could have imagined .

My pronunciation is horrible but thank you! 😂😂😂 I was flip flopping so much! But I think I’m swaying towards the SM. 🙈🙈🙈
@@kklvoescc yay 😁
Love how authentic and genuine you are my friend 💕 Love both and I agree you can’t go wrong with either!
Thanks Dawn! I can’t seem to make my mind up on this piece! 🙈🙈🙈

Thank you for this review. I was contemplating whether to get the small or the extra small. I have a smaller wrist and I wanted something dainty. Both are beautiful! ❤
They are! Which is why I had such a hard time deciding. Good thing is there is no wrong answer as both are gorgeous! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi. Do you know if you can get the chain resized? If say you wanted the length shortened so it fits your wrist better?
Did you ever consider the regular version? would that be too big relative to the SM?

Yay! They are so similar yet so different. If you like bolder than the small is definitely the way to go. Thanks for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
Loool Kim, it's all good we change our minds 🤷🏻♀️. You can't go wrong with either, it all depends on which 1 you're feeling more!
TFS ❤️
Yep. But I hate being so indecisive! 😂😂😂
I know what you mean!!!
Hiiiii I totally agreed with everything you said then the change of mind later for the bigger logo. I mean that’s a huge factor with such a simple popular bracelet. Always love your videos 😍😌😘
Hi Kim, if u can swing it why not keep both, and sandwich the VCA between them?
I thought about it but just don’t want to duplicate. I’m hanging on to both while I decide. Hopefully one will be the clear winner! 🤞🤞🤞
I also think the XS looks good with the van cleef. But the small one looks amazing on it's own! In your opinion, will the small one or XS one look good with a small just un clou bracelet? 🙏🙏
They both look good with the small juc. You can see some photos on my Instagram. 🥰🥰🥰
@@kklvoescc thank you! youre right both look so good with the juste un clou 😍😍
Just wondering, do they break easily? Especially the XS one as the chain is so tiny
It has held up really nicely so far! I let go of the XS but my VCA has a similar thickness and no issues whatsoever and I wear these almost 24/7. Hope this helps! 🥰
Hi, I've been contemplating on the Sweet Alhambra but am concerned about wear and tear since I wouldn't be taking it off an on to shower. What is your experience on this? Would you recommend this purchase? Thank you!

@@kklvoescc Thank you so much. I'm trying to buy one for my niece on her graduation from university. I'm a guy so I don't know much about this stuff.
@@Njoofene That’s very sweet! I’m sure your niece will absolutely love it! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks so much i think i will go for xs.
You can’t go wrong with either! 🥰🥰🥰
beautiful bracelet love them all
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Great comparison video Kim!!!!
Thanks so much Jen! 😘😘😘
What size is your wrist?
I measure 15.5cm above my wrist bone. 🥰🥰🥰
Both are beautiful and looks lovely on you so it depends what feels more comfortable and if you want a more visible look. Decisions decisions! 😆
I hate being so indecisive! Subtle differences are the hardest. 🙈🙈🙈
Watching now….
😘😘😘
Ok ladies a concerned husband here, would this be acceptable as an anniversary gift??
Yes!
I say yes too! 💕💕💕
The SM size looks better on you.
Thank you! That’s the one I ended up keeping. 🥰🥰🥰
These would make a good Christmas present for someone.
It would! 🥰🥰🥰
It did...they loved them. One needed to be made 2 cm longer. It should be back this week . The packaging is excellent.
Best customer service ever. Beyond anything I could have imagined .
