Juste Un Clou Bracelet (JUC) Discussion

[am2022]

Lowermost Juc ( with clash) is 16 and the rest size 17.
Classic and thin 4 diamond / thin pave all 18
I could do JUC 16 and love 17
but I have 2 daughters - 23 and 17 and have bigger wrists than mine... so went bigger !

Can I ask what size JUC you purchased and if it has a lot of movement with your Loves’s?

Thank you and Happy Bday! I love how they fit. I have a 17 love and have tried on both the 16 and 17 JUC. The 16 felt too snug, but a 17 will crossover my love. I need to go back to the boutique to try them on again before i decide on the size.

Thank you
Yes I think you should try out sizes again!
Haven’t decided if will wear them side by side - hoping I find another bangle to put in between ? Maybe a thin love ? We shall see …. Good luck

Hi there, may I ask what your wrist size is and how far back the 18 loves sit? Thanks kindly

Am preparing to buy another piece, the YG small JUC. Am not interested in the Love bracelet (though I adore my ring!) for a variety of reasons — including over-saturation.
Now I’m starting to have the same concerns about JUC. Even though I won’t wear it stacked with other Cartier bracelets, as this is really the only one I like, is it still too overdone?
I realize people here love it, and thus, this thread, but have any of you doubted the purchase for a similar reason? Thanks for any thoughts you may have, either direction!

I know myself and wearing something irl feels different than looking at it online or on someone else. It's the difference between juste un clou and the bracelet on your own wrist. Do you feel over-saturation if you look at your Love ring or do you see a ring that you love? That is the feeling that will translate to your JUC.

Good point. Thank you!

I had this same concern about the Love bracelet (over-saturation) and now, with the JUC. I decided that I love both bracelets and while we see them more often (esp. on famous people and influencers), the vast majority of people do not own these pieces. I say, it only matters if you love it. If you don't, there is a lot of beautiful jewelry to buy that's less expensive!

My new JUC white gold with diamonds! I’ve been saving up for this bracelet for about 4-5 years now. Has always been my holy grail piece and I am so in love with it I can’t stop staring. Plan to wear this everyday for the next 10, 20, 50 years! For those curious mine is a size 15 and my wrist is 14cm and fits perfectly.

Love your JUC!
Thank you for mentioning your wrist size and the size of your JUC. Helps me a lot with what size I am trying to decide on!

Gorgeous! What size did you decide on and what size is your wrist?

There is. To me, I think it’s fine. The SA said the size up was too big, and I agreed at the time. I also agree with you that it shouldn’t spin around! I don’t prefer the bangle kind of look/feel. Thanks for the reassurance! I’ll stick with this one & just try not to get too fat lol

Love it!
What size is your wrist and what size JUC did you end up with?

Today my regular JUC fell on the pavement right in the middle of the city, where there are a lot of people. It's good that I saw this and it's good that no one else managed to lift it faster than me. How he got loose, I don't know. I was in a sweater and coat, a bag hung on my arm, maybe the bag somehow push the bracelet. The bag was not very heavy. In general, no matter how much pressure from above, I do not want it to somehow affect the clasp. I got upset. There is of course a scratch, but I'm more worried about the mechanism.

OMG this is my worst nightmare. How long have you had it? Is this the first time it’s happened?

I would check the hinge to see if it moves when in an open position held vertically. I saw some YouTube videos of women saying theirs opened, seemingly randomly. KatL said she had to get hers fixed since the hinge was so loose. Maybe take it into Cartier to see what they can do.

Oh my! That is scary! Glad you saw it first and hope there wasn’t much damage to it. Does your regular JUC have the older (keyhole) or newer (latch) mechanism?

My bracelet is about 1.5 years old. I don't wear it often. On vacation wear 24/7. Due to the coronavirus, I am mostly at home. If I rarely wore a bracelet, then took it off. Thanks for the advice, I'll have to watch the video on YouTube. On Thursday, I'm going to go to Cartier, and now there is an additional reason.

Thank you for the support! I'm glad that it happened in this way. Of course I’m very sad, but it could be more worse. The bracelet itself was not badly damaged, nothing broke off. Even a scratch is quite acceptable. From the asphalt could be much stronger. My JUC has a new mechanism that snaps into place (latch). I have seen the old mechanism on YouTube for a long time, for some reason it seemed to me more security. Although probably from pressure and a bag on the arm, he could also unbutton. Do not know. Do you know anything about the old mechanism? Were there similar cases with the old mechanism, when the bracelet fell just like that?

I SO understand being sad. I would feel exactly the same way, including also feeling grateful and glad overall that it wasn’t badly damaged or lost! I agree that the JUC fared extremely well considering the incident! I would never have guessed those marks came from what you described. One of the nice things about these “edgier” designs is a that a little scuffing just gives them character. I would guess that over time, the edges of the scrape should soften and become less noticeable too.

My JUC has the old mechanism and I have never had a problem, nor do I remember hearing any reports of an old-mechanism JUC coming off inadvertently. Honestly, given how it works, I really don’t think it would be physically possible for it to come undone without intent, even when under pressure from a heavy bag! I’ve found it is secure enough that I don’t think/worry at all about it when wearing (even less worry than a LOVE, for which I can be anxious about checking the screws). I remember there was a bit of a learning curve for putting on and taking off the JUC, but once I got used to how to hold the bracelet, the process became quick and easy. Here is a photo from lovely TPFer @SPlovesluxe showing the differences between the two mechanisms (the old mechanism secures the bracelet via the inherent tension in the bracelet’s construction rather than a separately articulating latch):


There are also some old comments that address the differences between the mechanisms in security. Here are a few examples if you are curious:

Thanks so much; getting to the city may be a challenge as I don’t live nearby and I would want to see and try on the JUC. I appreciate your offer of help. Have you tried ebay, there are people selling there's. You might be able to get one on eBay,

I keep mine on in the shower and at all times unless I'm at the gym or doing manual labor. No issues. Keep mine on at all times. That is why I picked the old lock and not the new one.

lonelyphoton,
Thank you very much, I really appreciate you helping me find the topics about this.

I myself already intuitively understood when I watched YouTube that the old mechanism is more reliable. The gold is soft and this small detail that holds the bracelet does not inspire confidence at all. And what was to be done. It’s a pity Cartier doesn’t offer a choice between a clasp) I’ll go to a boutique tomorrow and see what they say. Knowing my SA and my complaints, she will probably say - this is the first time this has happened)))
