This is a very helpful post. Thank you!
When you mentioned that the new lock model had a rounder shape than the old version, were the two bracelets of the same size?

Oh good point! To be honest, I can't remember and it could have very well have been a different size!!

The opinions of those who own both kinds of lock models would most certainly be the most accurate.

Probably the most precise measurement of weight would be, to actually weigh both models of the same size.

To be honest, at the end of the day it probably doesn't matter as, like most coveted jewelry, whatever model/size/color/shape you get will become a part of your external identity in a way and you will (and should) love and enjoy it. :) I probably spent a lot of time thinking about it prior to purchase but haven't looked back since wearing my JUC daily without regret.

My problem was the following: the bracelet I had bought in Paris had a very shaky latch. The latch at the bottom of the lock would very easily come undone and the bracelet would spring open. I went to the store on Fifth avenue and tried both the old and the new lock. Maybe I got a bad one yet again but the second one I checked also was fairly flimsy and it make a clicking noise when I would move my arm.
I do understand that the old lock has less diamonds but I believe it is safer. I swim and shower with the bracelet on every day. No problem. While I was on vacation oversees this summer in the south of Italy there was a lady who has lost a bracelet in the breakfast room of the resort. Guess what bracelet it was?

Quick question for everyone:
Does your JUC catch on any of your clothing? I am super annoyed because my JUC ring just ruined a beautiful Rag & Bone sweater by getting caught in a stitch, pulling it out, and leaving a hole in the delicate fabric. I've been wanting to purchase a JUC bracelet but don't want to worry about it getting caught on everything.

I have the old version no concerns with it catching on my clothes, sorry to hear that about yours

Fortunately the maid found it and the lady was so relieved. She had gone swimming and the latch was wet. Can you imagine if she lost it in the water? I had switched mine a month earlier and my husband was horrified with the story. I am a proud owner of the old version JUC. Yes it may have less diamonds and be more oval but I don't have to worry about losing an expensive piece of jewelry. I stopped by my store on 5th ave and it looks like only the first few were defective. But I am keeping mine nonetheless

My JUC bracelet has never snagged my clothes though I wear it 24/7. But if the sweater is the loose-knit kind, it would definitely be vulnerable. Maybe you can use a crochet needle to fix the hole?

I totally agree. Also, the story behind the particular piece of jewelry--maybe you bought it to celebrate a major occasion or it's a gift from someone special--makes it irreplaceable.

That's horrible. Those loose latches should never have passed QC.

I am seriously considering a JUC before the aug 1 increase and somewhat torn between a JUC in PG w diamonds / YG plain / YG with diamonds. Those are the only styles they have in my size at my store without having to order.
Can I get your thoughts on which one you think suits my skin tone best? (I plan to wear it on its own on my left arm with a watch or with a YG 4 diamond love on days I feel a bit more dressy).

Will a diamond JUC and a 4-diamond love together look too ostentatious for weekends/non formal settings?

Thank you!

I love the JUC with diamonds on you. I think the JUC & LOVE on your arm at the same time looks a bit ostentatious.
