Anyone else feel like their diamond JUC took a second to get used to wearing? I got the 15 because I’m a 16 in the classic love and I wanted to be able to stack it. I also have small wrists and didn’t want it to run up too high. Right now I’m wearing my JUC on the other non-stacked wrist. It has movement - photos below - but sometimes I feel it on my wrist more than I do the love (maybe it’s the diamonds?). I’m thinking I wouldn’t want to go bigger just in case I ever do decide to stack it with my love, though. Did anyone else feel the diamonds in the diamond head a bit in the beginning before they got used to it? Like causing a small divot here and there? I’m only 2x days in so maybe I’m just not used to how it feels yet...

Hi Shiny I totally understand what you mean.
I had no problems when I had plain JUC in size 15 but with diamond one it left a dent on my wrist and diamond head leaned little on one side.

Fortunately I got used to it after a couple of days and I am def keeping this piece forever in my collection.
Also, try to wear diamond heads upside down. It gave me better fit. Hope this helped!

What do you mean by "upside down"? Mine isn't a great fit and maybe that's my issue.

I've always wondered, is Cartier handmade or are they machine made? Trying to decide on the juc with diamonds or plain

I guess if its hand made i could kind of justify the cost difference... kinda..

Handmade. :smile: They do use things like polishing machines and molds, but it's not like they just put the diamonds and gold into a factory machine and out pops a Love bracelet. It's actually really fascinating watching jewelry makers make jewelry, there are lots of videos on youtube/instagram.

Cartier jewelry is HIGHLY inflated in price in comparison to the cost of the actual gold, diamonds, and labor involved. That's the price of luxury, advertisements, having private boutiques... Does a Chanel flap really cost almost $7,000 to make? Definitely not, but supply vs demand, especially with luxury goods, means they can charge that much and people will still buy.

Have anyone resized your JUC bracelet? I got 16, because 17 was definitely too large. Now I keep thinking of taking the bracelet to the jeweler and add a half size to it, as the one I got is a bit small for comfortable wear.
