I have the diamond JUC in PG and actually only liked it on me in the diamond version. It looked to masculine in the plain on me. Things look different on each person so to me the price is worth it.

Please post pics of them together if you can!
I fell in love with it in the store, but then doubted myself when I got home. DH needs a few options for our anniversary and I'm not sure whether to give him this as my #1. I have a few pieces of art on my list, but I'm also looking at some Tiffany metro bracelets and VCA pieces.
i’ve been hemming and hawing about the JUC for years. added some VCA pieces, debated another love but now i know i def want the JUC. it’s just about bling or not. i just can’t understand/justify the jump in price and it bothers me. lol.
Also, I think that I will experience "diamond shrinkage" with it over time and wish that I had the all-over pave (even though that's a bit flashy for my everyday life).
haha. the all pave is but a pipe dream for me, not to mention i also don’t have the life style for it, so it’s not in my realm of consideration. for me i think of it as having just one bracelet with diamonds or basically getting two JUC or one JUC and a love if you just top up the price a bit on the JUC with diamonds. and so that’s why i keep thinking well what’s more worth it? quality or quantity?
Great points! I think as I am getting older I am choosing quality over quantity. And like you, what works for my lifestyle. Really assessing each purchase for longevity and being a classic piece I can wear when I am 80 - lol! I have the PG JUC with diamonds as I thought it really elevated the hardness of the nail motif and had just enough bling to wear alone or with my plain PG love. The JUC with diamonds is pricey which is why I wear it as much as possible. Brings down my cost per wear!! I agree if you can afford and it’s makes you happy then that’s worth it.

i too have a PG love!! and it’s plain which is another reason why i’m considering the JUC with bling. because in my mind i always thought my next cartier purchase would be the 4 diamond love. but now that i’ve decided to get a JUC, i also wanna get a blingy version. honestly speaking it’s not so much about being able to afford the extra $4 or $5k for the diamonds, more about justifying that cost in ones mind if that makes sense. lol.
Exactly. It's not an affordability issue. It's a worth issue. Sometimes, I think, "Is this Hermes bag worth it?" but then I think of all of the craftsmanship behind it and it's definitely worth it to me. With the diamond JUC, I'm not sure that a few extra diamonds justifies doubling the price in terms of how it's made, especially when I can get a really nice VCA piece for less or TWO plain juc bracelets. When you think about it, $12K for a piece of jewelry (considering the cost of diamond jewelry) isn't that bad, but it's so much more than the plain and for only a few extra diamonds. Are we being foolish to pay this much? Is Cartier pulling one over on us?
1000% times YESSSSS!!! literally everything i am thinking!!!
quite frankly i also think the same thing about a VCA piece i have bc it has porcelain and i just think did i actually pay all that money for porcelain??? yes obviously i enjoy it but there are still times where i feel was i stupid for spending all that money for it?
These are all the issues I struggle with, too! At the end of the day, I realize there is some intrinsic value to owning a Cartier, Hermes, VCA, etc. There is a confidence in the quality of the product and a deep-rooted heritage. So, we are paying for the brand and legacy for sure. I also find myself shifting my priorities though. A few years ago, I placed a lot of value on handbags and went through an Hermes phase. Now my focus has moved towards jewelry and obtaining items that make me happy!! But it definitely comes at a cost. Totally first world problems we are lucky to have.

Sometimes I question the quality, though. I fell in love with the full diamond trinity ring in CA a few years ago, then tried it on at another store (Vegas- Crystals) and the ring was horribly constructed. I was shocked at the quality, so I bought a plain one without diamonds. I'm not sure if that ring was just a bad one or if I was wearing Cartier goggles during my first visit (and too enamored to look at quality), but it was eye-opening. I'm afraid that I'll order my diamond JUC and be underwhelmed when it arrives, although I was basically love drunk in the store!
