It’s about 5k more for just the diamonds. Curious to know if anyone else was deciding between the plain and diamond JUC and which one you went with and why. I have a plain love and think the diamond JUC would pair nicely with the plain love and give my stack the added sparkle. Alternatively I could get the plain JUC and also purchase a magic pendant from VCA which has been on my wish list.

Also if you have purchased a diamond JUC have you considered or purchased from fashionphile or the real real? I have thought about it only because it’s about 2k less generally than retail for the diamond JUC but I’ve never bought anything from a reseller website. And I suppose authenticity would be a concern for me. I don’t know if the stories are true but I’ve seen posts on tpf where people have complained about authenticity.

Finally, for those of you who have bothe the love and JUC have you ever experienced a loosening of your screws? I’ve read on here that the banging together of bracelets can cause loosening of the screws.

Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

I considered both plain and diamond JUCs, but having seen them in person, DH and I both agreed that the diamond version was much, much nicer. I don't dislike the plain JUC but I prefer it with some sparkle, such as worn with a diamond bracelet. In DH's words, the plain JUC literally "looks like it's just a nail" whereas the diamond JUC looks like jewellery.

I don't wear my JUC with my Love because the clanking of two weighty bracelets drives me mad, and I feel that rainbow Love + diamond JUC is a little bit too much on the same arm, but I have worn other, lighter, bracelets with my Love with no issues. My rainbow has been on my wrist for 2.5 years and the screws (new system) are in the exact same positions, without ever needing to be tightened - I took a photo of the positions of both screws when I first got the bracelet, just in case!

I have thought the same. With my plain love, the nail looks like juste un clou. lol.

I agree the clanking would drive me mad too. But the problem with the other wrist is I wear a steel watch. I will probably wear a leather bracelet in between. Thanks for the feedback!

I prefer the diamond JUC. That being said, it is pricey for what it is. I'm currently debating between the diamond JUC, a Kelly 28, 2 Tiffany metro hinged bangles, or 1.5 ct. (.75 each) diamond earrings. I can't believe that the diamond JUC is more than the Kelly.

I know right? It’s more than a birkin 30! I have also considered getting the perlee and a magic piece from vca or a tiffany t bracelet like the ones here. The price tag for the JUC just seems a bit much for the little extra diamonds. However, I don’t think Tiffany bracelets hold their value. And I don’t know if they will be classics down the road. But just look at how many diamonds there are in the larger Tiffany bracelet and how much more substantial it is! I don’t think I’ll be happy with the plain JUC either!

I tried on both of these Tiffany bracelets so many times but the JUC with diamonds seemed so much more special and unique. I also felt like the wide Tiffany T bangle, which retails for $5200, seemed a little masculine on me. I just purchased my YG JUC with diamonds 2 weeks ago and I love it. I also had a hard time justifying the staggering price difference between the plain and diamond versions of the JUC but in the end I decided to go for it because it’s something I hope to wear forever and I would never have been fully happy with the plain version.

Have you tried on the Tiffany T bracelets yet? Which way are you leaning?

I haven’t tried on any of the Tiffany ones yet and need to. I have tried the perlee and really like it but it’s leans on the feminine girly side imo so not sure if this is really me. In the end I’m likely to buy the diamond JUC unless the Tiffany ones really speak to me. I like that the Tiffany bracelets are more of a bangle shape and will stack cleanly with my love. I’m not in a hurry though. Would hate the make a mistake on this purchase! Would love to see yours if you can share! :)
