I see what you mean about the thinner JUC working on a guy! Btw, may I ask which Louis Vuitton bag is in your pic?

Hi everyone, I recently took the plunge to buy both the love and JUC and I see some people tossing up between the sm JUC or regular JUC. I would say, please go in store and try them on and see which one your heart resonates with. I have always been a fan of the JUC and if I was younger I would have gone for the original. For info I’m a guy and I’m 28. This is all just my opinion of course but I wanted to throw my two cents in.

Some people might think that a guy should definitely go for the regular version because it looks more masculine because it is chunkier. But I would say go for whatever you feel suits you. I think the regular is more masculine on a girl but not necessarily on a guy because I think that men’s jewellery can instead look more feminine if it is more chunky and attention grabbing. And in recent years I’ve learnt that something might look great on other people but if it isn’t for me then it isn’t for me. It might not suit my lifestyle or how I like to enjoy jewellery which is to give a quick echo of my personality rather than be it.

all this build up is to say that I actually enjoy the SM version a lot more because i am more comfortable with it and it is more understated which is how I like my jewellery. I want to wear my pieces and not have them wear me.

Just to illustrate, I’ve attached some photos. I ended up with the YG SM JUC and in the other photos I wore the WG JUC. I love the regular for how solid it is but I think it looks out of place for me - it’s too ‘obvious’? Just not subtle enough for me. I hope I was able to help some of you think about what works for you.

Have any of you seen other guys wearing the small JUC? It is probably less common. I’m also hoping that one day they would be able to make a WG JUC SM.

Hi ladies. Does anyone have a regular JUC (in size 15 of course) with a 13-13.5cm wrist? Is it annoying to wear/does it bang against things?
Also I've seen posts about Cartier coming out with a 14cm version - but is this just for the small JUC? I'm in the UK if that matters.
Thank you x

No way to edit/delete the post, but this is no longer relevant - I went for it :)

I would appreciate some help with sizing for the JUC small. My partner bought me the 19cm for christmas, but it is WAY too big. It goes more than ⅓ down my wrist and completely turns on its own. He bought this as a surprise and used my apple watch as a guide line (8.5inches). My actual wrist is a little less than 16.5cm, just below the bone. I dont have a love bracelet to stack with it (and nor do I really want one). What size would you recommend I buy? 17cm or 18cm? I do plan on stacking it one day (Tiffany T, VCA Alhambra, another JUC small with diamonds) but i dont own these yet. Also, cant go into a boutique to try on anymore as we are in a lockdown here in Toronto.

Everyone's opinion is greatly appreciated!

I think it would depend what kind of fit you prefer. If you prefer a snug fit then the 17 may be good. If you prefer a looser fit then an 18 would be better.

I have a regular love in 16 cm for a 14.5 cm wrist because I prefer a snug fit. My small JUC was sized at 15 to match my love. My bracelets fall 2 inches below my wrist bone for reference.

Edit: based on the two photos posted, I would think a 18 would be perfect.

My wrist is about 15.5cm (15.3cm to be exact) and I wear a 16 JUC. To me, it feels very comfortable and doesn’t turn and falls down 2 inches down my arm-which to some people might feel that’s snug. So I would say you are either 17 or 18 depending on how you prefer it to feel.

Thanks for responding so quick!

1. I dont want it to be so snug that it stays in one spot. I do want it to be loose enough so it can move about two inches from the base of my hand down my wrist. Do you think 17 would stay in one spot?

2. Your JUC is it snug in the spot on your wrist or does it move back and forth? It is only .5 cm bigger than your wrist (which is what a 17JUC would be to my 16.5cm wrist)

3. Sorry if a crazy question but why do you think the 18 would be the perfect fit? Because there is still room for it to move up and down my wrist?

My JUC is snug but still moves up and down my wrist. I will say though during the summer when it’s hot and my skin is sweaty it may “stick” to my skin.

I think an 18 would be perfect because from your pictures it looks like the size 19 JUC falls 4 inches or so below your wrist. I think a size 18 would maybe fall one inch closer to your wrist which would look like a nice fit IMO.

I agree with the above.

The way I figure out the size for the JUC is working backwards from the size of the Love bracelet.

You state your wrist measures 16.5 cm.

Love size 17 = .5 cm is too tight
Love size 18 = 1.5 cm is an exact fit
Love size 19 = 2.5 cm is a loose fit (I prefer loose fit for the Love)

For the Love, you could potentially go with a size 18 or 19, but if you like the loose fit then size down 1 size from the Love.

Therefore, I would go with a size 18 JUC.
