Ooh gotcha! Makes sense. I love the JUC collection. When I tried on the small size though, I felt like the way I had to twist it to get it onto the wrist didn't feel as secure personally although I know a lot of people really love it! I originally thought that the normal size would be overwhelming on me, but once I tried it on in person I knew it was the right fit for me. I also think you can't go wrong with those earrings, they are total classics. Good luck and happy celebrating!Ah I think I should've been clearer sorry! I meant I've wanted something from Love or JUC collections irrespective of sizesince I cannot try it on in store I'm leaning towards the smaller versions since I usually wear smaller pieces.

I love my small JUC, but I found I didn't enjoy wearing it on it's own as it's not the most substantial piece - will you be pairing it with anything? 
it works really well with simple bracelets.
The earrings are gorgeous! I think they'd be a great first piece.

I agree. The small versions of the Love & JUC need companions.
I got bored with my small Love within a year’s time...
- I much prefer the classic versions over the small versions as a standalone.
Agreed with the post above. I recently bought the small JUC and whilst I absolutely love it, I would have bought the normal size if I was going to wear it on its own. But since I stack it with my regular Love, they go perfectly (the regular JUC felt too heavy and the nail was digging into my hand).
Did you make your purchase? It's February! I hope you got the SM JUC! I have it and love it! I am a February birthday too and just shopped there. Lots of rush for the Lunar Year!
JUC or hoops! Happy birthday! Hope to see an action shot of whatever you ended up deciding!
JUC or as someone suggested the Love cuff if that falls within your budget. The Love earings would be my second choice. To me the Cartier pieces you are considering are are signature pieces. The Tiffany earrings are nice, but just do not seem as unique or special to me. Try them all on and go with whatever puts the biggest smile on your face!
Hey there Luxe, I see you are in Australia. I went to the boutique in CBD Melb on January 28th and was going to purchase the Small mini love hoops. They only had in rg. I also tried on the small juc. The Juc is to die for.
My budget was only for the love hoops. Also if you order the SA he said it can take up to a few months to come in.
I tried on the size 15 JUC. but I think 16 be better. This is pic with my 17 cuff.
Anyway I ordered the small hoops in YG. My bday is in april so hope it be there by then. I also paid a 40pct deposit which was good as didnt have to pay all price on same day.
If you can get the JUC though its a good price over 4K .

Hello everyone! I have some sad and some happy news. Sad news is I was unable to get my size of the small JUC at all and the YG hoops were unavailable. I'm in an Australian city with no Cartier store, so had to call - and was told that they cannot give any promises as to when the stock would be in and available to be shipped to me, so told me in no uncertain terms that it will probably not make my birthday even if I paid for it in advance :'( eventually I made the decision to postpone my Cartier purchase till later this year possibly for my wedding anniversary.
I tried VCA sweet alhambra studs in MOP but ended up returning as they didn't make my heart sing.
I ended up getting the Chopard Happy Diamonds ear pins in yellow gold and am so happy with them finally! (but my heart is still with Cartier hopefully in the near future!) Thanks to everyone though who has given helpful feedback and tips, fingers crossed I can join the Cartier club soon. I've added some photos below of the Chopards:
