Clash de Cartier

[Purrsey]

Ohhhhh actually, this was a 15, my mistake, so sorry! It was recommended by my SA to pair 16 Loves with 15 Juc and Clash

Apologies!

No worries. Thanks.

No worries. Thanks.

Someone in this thread posted a photo but I am sorry I don’t remember who/when! I have Clash 15/Love 16 and the Clash is slightly larger than I would like, so I took note of the Clash 14 with Love 16 post because that is what I would get if I were to buy another Clash. Let me see if I can find it.

ETA: I tagged you in the posts I found.

View attachment 5090532picked up small CDC for our 30wedding anniversary, very comfortable and carefree.
Love size 16, Clash size 14

thank you for letting me share

@Purrsey

Thank you. Besides the defect, I also ordered the wrong size, so sadly this will be going back.

In case anyone else has questions about the sizing, my Love is a 16 (good fit, able to spin around my wrist). I had read around here that to get the Clash to visibly align with the Love, you should size down two, so I ordered the Clash in a 14. But this is way too small for me and it fits like a Love 15 (barely goes over my wrist bone).

So I guess for the same fit, size down one from the Love. For the same look, size down two from the Love. Will be exchanging the Clash for a 15.

@Purrsey

You’re so kind! Thank you for your help.

When I tried clash reg 14 and love reg 15, I didn’t think the stack would work for me (overlapping). Now I have a love sm 16, I am curious how both the different models look together in proportion, and sizing too.

I didn’t get to try the clash sm 14 but 15 (store had no 14 then). But I did try the clash 14 reg. I recall it was a good fit.

I guess there’s only 1 way to find out!

My perfectly round small white gold clash ring! So glad they gave me new one. Cartier customer service’s people are the best

You are welcome! When you say the “clash regular” do you mean the medium width? (As you reference the “clash small). I tried both and found the small to be quite substantial enough, though I love the medium for a slightly more statement piece.

Hey @Purrsey: if you happen to go to the Cartier boutique, can you please do me favour?

Can you please report back on the fit of a regular JUC and small Clash which are one size different from each other? Eg. JUC 15, Clash 14.

I am facing that dilemma and can't get to a boutique at the moment - my JUC is 17 and I would be looking at getting the small Clash in 16 but for sizing purposes, I know your wrists are smaller than mine

Thank you in advance!

Oopsy I was totally using Love terms without knowing my wrong lol. Thanks for clearing that.
Yes I have meant medium when I said regular clash.
Indeed, the clash sm looks great itself. In fact I think it would look great with reg or sm Love.

The right is the small clash which I tried in 2021. It probably looks better on me than the medium clash. You think so?

Certainly I can do that! There are words that 10feb is the price increase (according to this forum). I texted my SA last night. No sound from him. I’m guessing he has left Cartier. But I don’t have the time to head down this week (or today! - it’s 9Feb here). Anyhoo, neither do I wanna panic buy. Hopefully next week I can make a trip. Update ya!

Yes, I think the small clash looks best on you! For me, it stacks well with the Love because it is visually the same size as the regular Love. The small clash is the default/regular size to me because it is by far the most common size. I dream of getting the clash with Diamonds, but for some reason it’s hard for me to commit to purchasing it. I think because I feel like I should stay in the safe zone for higher priced items, but at the same time, I have a partial diamond JUC (very “safe” and mainstream, and I never wear it!).

And may I ask why do you not wear the JUC? I presume it’s the regular one.

I tried the reg JUC with partial diamond before. I think it’s a beautiful piece however I don’t find my small wrist can carry it. It looks chunky on me (thus I settled for the small JUC).

Thank you so much!

I'm just curious on how much overlapping there is - eg. does the JUC 15 go over the Clash 14?

The JUC does with the LOVE when they are the same size - eg. both 17s.

And do you need to wear it a particular way when you stack them to minimise the damage (eg. nail head against the Clash).

I hope the price increase in Asia isn't too extreme this time around. No word on Australia being affected but I will check the website again tomorrow to compare prices.

I also think the small Clash looks great with your regular LOVE Medium Clash is nice but definitely a statement piece!

You have guessed it exactly. I am petite and my best size is between 15 and 16 Love. My JUC partial diamonds in the regular size is just too chunky on me. I think it looks better with the Clash or just on its own, but it looks very large next to the Love only.
Here are a few stacks with the JUC vs Clash mixed in. Even though my Clash is a tiny bit big at a 15 - ideally the Clash would be a 14 (JUC is 15, Love is 16, Perlees are XS), you can see how the Clash blends in a bit better while the JUC looks quite large.

I literally called Cartier just now (customer service line; they can’t put me direct to the store) and asked “hey is there a price increase tomorrow?” Of course she replied she doesn’t have any info on this.

She asked if there’s any particular piece I am looking at so she could check inventory. I told her and she said “yes they are in store but limited. It’s best you can come in today”. I bet she read from a script. Lol.

She has reserved a time slot for me tomorrow. I hope I can make it though!
