Juste Un Clou Bracelet (JUC) Discussion

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.
If you’d said you were wearing a sundress I’d worry. Sweater, coat and bag could have easily opened the bracelet at the right angle.
 
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?

For those who don’t get a chance to compare…I went in to exchange my orig juc with diamonds (made in Spain) - as it had scratches and kept having discovered multiple scratches after she cleaned and removed it. Both nail heads and tails were different. The one I took home (made in Switzerland) had more spacing between the nail head between the diamonds and on the side. The top ridge of the nail was also sharper, compared to the old one which seemed flatter (you can run your fingers over it and feel the diff).The tail also seemed flatter and not rounded, compared to the initial bracelet who had a sharper tail. One more thing I noticed. My original bracelet clicked really hard and did not wiggle - it was rather difficult to remove and I had to press really hard to remove it - my finger hurt a bit initially! The new one is easier to remove (not a loose hinge though), and does do a slight click when I press it and has more give (wiggles slightly). The original, once clicked close, had a hard click and did not wiggle it so the clicking noise. My new one had no scratches though! Pictures for reference!

I don' t understand the scratches. Did you buy it online or didn't notice them in the store at time of purhase?

I didn’t notice them. I bought them in for exchange (and she said let me clean it) - I did and I noticed they were gone. However when I got home, I noticed deeper scratches on the other side of the bracelet (one you can feel with your nail, not hairline). She also left a mark on the nail head from the polish cloth I’m guessing. I let her know I got bothered by the deeper scratches so she ordered another one for me.

That's crazy that they would sell it to you with scratches. Probably from people trying them on.

Question for those who wear the diamond JUC every day, what type of lifestyle do you have? Are you more casual or live a glam lifestyle daily? I ask because I've wanted the diamond JUC forever and I plan on wearing it every day. I'm 31 and mostly have a casual lifestyle day to day (luxury dinners a few times a month as well as luxury vacations 2-3 times a year, but I'm mostly in jeans and sandals). I'm unsure if the diamond JUC will be too flashy to wear daily. For example, I have a 2 ct. tennis bracelet that I only wear when going out because I find it to be a bit blingy for daily wear stacked with my two loves. I think the regular JUC is beautiful, but it doesn't make my heart sing like the diamond JUC. Slighlty undecided between the two and I'm hoping to purchase soon.

My daily life is pretty casual and I wear JUC with diamonds almost every day alone or in a stack. I think it looks amazing with casual. You will get comfortable and it will be like nothing. Although it is eye catching the amount of actual diamonds is so minimal.

Mine is casual - but I don’t wear any
Bracelets. I’m the same age.

Are you talking about a JuC that has diamonds on the head and at the tip? If that’s the case the diamonds are really not that noticeable or flashy at all. I posted this pic on the action thread but you can see how the diamonds are more of an accent—can probaby see that in relation to the JuC ring with no diamond. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/cartier-in-action.955296/post-35102886

A tennis bracelet has diamonds all around so it’ll be blingy all over. Now the whole diamond JuC is another story.

I have a mixed lifestyle because I’m working from home these days. I wear it with my casual clothes and when I go out to dinner. You’ll see mostly the metal part of the bracelet/the style of the bracelet.

I think it’s subtle enough for daily wear and not all that blingy. But if you find a 2ct tennis bracelet blingy for daily wear, then I think you might be better off getting the plain or considering the small diamond juc.
