Juste Un Clou Bracelet (JUC) Discussion

[NYC Chicky]

I purchased the juste un clou in rose gold online, I'm just not sure if I should have gone yellow gold I'm not sure if it suits my skin tone. I don't have a boutique near me so I couldn't try it on in person. This is my first purchase if you guys could give me your opinion that would be really appreciated x

It looks great. I think the rose gold is a softer look compared to a yellow gold which contrast more etc.

Thank you everyone I am planning on getting the love bangle but can't decide between no diamonds or 4 diamonds, is the 4 diamonds worth it or should I get the one without? There's too many options.. x

The love with 4 diamonds is an extra $4,000 over the one without. That’s $1,000 per diamond. Whether that’s worth it or not is a very personal decision.

I have the one without diamonds after debating which I should get. I personally feel like the diamonds are small and it doesn’t make much of a difference on the love. I have the JUC with diamonds and I think the diamonds on that bracelet is much more impactful than on the love.

Does anyone take their JUC bracelet (regular size) off and on everyday? I'm not sure I'd find it comfortable to sleep in but wondering if that will wear down the closure mechanism over time.

I would take mine off when I first purchased, but after a few months, I decided to keep on. I wear mine everyday and do not remove. I didn’t want to wear down the closure, so I made the decision to keep on. Had to get used to it, but now, super comfortable.

I have taken my JUC off once. I am completely used to having it on.

Hihi ladies. Does anyone else have a Juste Un Clou bracelet without a Cartier stamp on the nail tip? i tried googling but some ppl have the stamp but some people dont.

Hi there! Yes my JUC does not have the Cartier stamp on the nail tip (purchased in August 2014).

My partner’s JUC, purchased in June 2014 does have the stamp on the tip. He also thinks my JUC is heavier than his

I have to admit, I’m really glad mine has the old lock mechanism even though I cannot get my bracelet off without assistance.

I don’t do this because I don’t want the hinge to become loose. Mind you, I have taken my bracelet off a number of times, I just don’t do it everyday.

Try leaving it on 24/7 - you do get used to it!

I leave mine on for the most part, to preserve the hinge like @lilpikachu mentioned. I find it more comfortable to have the nail tip side of the bracelet closer to the hand.

The love with 4 diamonds is an extra $4,000 over the one without. That’s $1,000 per diamond. Whether that’s worth it or not is a very personal decision.

I was in your same position about a year ago and went back and forth with the diamonds. The one with the diamonds is beautiful but I ultimately went with the love without diamonds because I like a more uniform, cleaner look for the gold bangle. Also, the diamonds aren’t too noticeable to justify the price for me. I have no regrets at all. I used the money to purchase the JUC with diamonds, which are much more noticeable. You may want to add other pieces with diamonds to your stack in the future. I’m glad I didn’t go with the diamond love so it doesn’t look too bling bling as I add more and more pieces to stack. In short, if this will be your only bracelet, get the diamond love. If you want to stack, I’d put the money towards other pieces to compliment your love. In the end it’s whatever you like!

This is a great way to put it- if you plan to stack the love vs not!

For any ladies wearing a regular JUC with tennis bracelet, what size tennis bracelet do you wear compared to your JUC?

This is really just going to depend on your wrist size and the tennis bracelet size. My wrist measures approx 15 inches. On average, most tennis bracelets are 7 inches, that is usually the standard. My JUC size is 16 and my tennis bracelet is 7 inches. I personally do not have the JUC yet (planning to purchase for my birthday in August) but my fiancé does and I’m familiar with his although he’s a size 19.

Would love to see your stack once you get the JUC! The thought of the tennis bracelet sliding under my JUC and the 2 pieces damaging each other freaks me out. I'm wondering if there's any way to avoid that with perfect sizing or not.

I added a 4.5 tcw tennis bracelet to my stack - always wanted one and thought it’d be a handy spacer between my JUC and loves. I “sacrificed” my plain love wearing the JUC with tail facing the love (trying to avoid dings and damage to the nail head), but the scratches from the JUC overlapping on the love got to me eventually I now wear it head facing the tennis bracelet only (otherwise it still overlaps the tennis and on occasion the love!!).

The nail head overlaps one stone on the the tennis bracelet occasionally but I think I’m ok with that - hoping the diamonds are hardy enough on both items, even though I do get paranoid as diamonds will scratch diamonds! It also gets stuck under the loves occasionally but I’m not too fussed about that. So if you want to stack it’s a matter of picking the lesser of two evils and what option you’re willing to tolerate.

My wrist size is 14cm, I shortened my 16cm tennis bracelet to 15 and I wear size 15 in JUC and 16 in loves for reference.

I do wonder if a size 14 JUC (if they ever make one…) would be better for us small-wristed ladies as I don’t like the movement up and down the arm and overlapping when stacking, but maybe due to the shape of the JUC it will never sit flush anyway….

Pretty! I know what you mean about a size 14 juc too. I have the same size wrist and also wear a 16 love. I liked the small juc in a 14 but not sure if going 2 sizes down would lead to lots of overlapping and drive me nuts…. It seems like the nail head on the full size would prevent that a little better.

Your stack is beautiful and classic! Do you find that your LOVEs ever partially overlap your tennis bracelet, or just the JUC nail head?

Thank you! Ah I wasn’t actually aware the small JUC came in 14 I think the potential damage / banging to the nail head on the small would worry me too. Did you ever try it on in person? If so, did the size 14 overlap your love at all when you did?

Thank you!! I think it would be more accurate to say - the tennis bracelet can and has somehow ended up partially tucked under the loves (but I’d have to be shaking my arm consistently for a while, so not in the usual course of my day). I don’t know if that would happen if I hadn’t shortened the tennis bracelet.
