How does yours look please? I am struggling st the moment with the fit of my small juc and not sure if I should size up or not, but they dont have any sizes in stock so can't try on in store at the moment. If you could post a photo it would be appreciated. Thank you

Love 15 and JUC SM 14. Wrist size 13.8cm.

I like snug fit. Don't like bangle style that hangs on hand. So it depends what you prefer and find comfortable.

Help!!! I am not a huge jewelry person I don’t wear stacks of bracelets regularly but I definitely am interested in a classic jewelry piece for a big birthday and this would be my first Cartier piece. I Love the regular JUC -the small compared to the regular . I’ve never been in awe of the love as it seemed a little basic for such $$ The SA I went to wasn’t great (he was kind of rude) he told me not to get the love it’s not special and that I was silly to even think about the small JUC. I’m really torn because I definitely want somethin I can wear everyday and feel happy that I spent all that $ on. Any personal experiences are appreciated (I’d love to buy before the rumored price increase) thanks!! I attached pics of all 3 bracelets I tried on in store

As someone has shared, you probably were in an Europe store?:biggrin:

Rude/silly or not, what do you think when wearing them?
Since you think love is too basic, did you try others too like Clash? Ecrou?

If beforehand you didn't love the Love bracelet and in store you didn't as well, do not consider it just because it is a popular piece. I do love the way the reg JUC looks on you and since I got my reg JUC just a few weeks ago I love it more and more each day. I actually wished I bought it instead of my second Love bracelet. I personally would go for the regular size, love the closure and that it is a great piece on it's own (I just didn't like the closure and feel of the thin when I tried it in store). However I do suggest to try the clash and ecrou as well. I didn't do this, but it could have changed my buys in the past.

I cannot believe what I am reading here..
It makes me so much remember of my last visit to Cartier! I wanted to buy a small Love because I cannot wear the reg one (for med issue) anymore and the SA did not impress with her attitude I have to say! She looked so pissed of selling these Love bracelets.. Ok, it might be a «basic piece» for her but it still is very special for many people in my opinion. The worst is that she could finally smile when I asked for the Clash. I really regretted not taking an appointment with my SA who was busy with other customers before my visit to the shop. Anyway, the experience was so bad that it was part of my decision to walk away and get a VCA bracelet instead (which at the end is better suited to my need).
As for your bracelet and because you are not thinking of stacking or don’t seem very convinced by the Love, I would go for the reg JUC. I think it is beautiful and a sturdy piece for every wear.
Good luck deciding :)

Yes, tried a lot on, but I really just love the regular JUC. I didn’t even wanna try the love -and when I put it on I see why oeople Like it it’s beautful (and I like it on others I just don’t go crazy over it). I guess i just am concerned the JUC which is my favorite will be a little bulky for everyday wear, and in 5 years am I still gonna love it. Maybe if I’m so torn I should just pass on all :(

I personally don't like how regular juc look on me. I also have doubt if I like to wear it 24/7 (I generally don't enjoy removing jewelry daily).

Hope you'll be able to find your answers soon... life is short to be wary what you may like/dislike in 5yrs time.
 
How do those of you who don’t have the savings saved pay for the Cartier bracelets? Credit card or loans?

I read through another Thread a few days ago about whether people go into debt making expensive purchases. That thread was about Chanel but I think the same can be applied to all luxury purchases. Some people may use credit cards, which seems reasonable if you have a plan, but I believe most people only buy if they have savings. I don’t think anyone would suggest taking a loan for jewelry or luxury items, and I tend to save those for mortgages, large car purchases, education, or god forbid, hospital bills and family emergencies. If I truly want something (consistently), I make a plan and an effort to sacrifice other hobbies or social activities to save that money. Good luck!
