Question for all the JUC owners. I just got mine and I was curious about the clasp closure. Many times when I put some pressure to make sure it’s closed while wearing it goes in a few millimeters (nothing I can see and I don’t think there’s risk of it falling off or anything) but other times it’s so securely in there I wonder if this is a faulty clasp or something that may get looser with time? Is your JUC like this?

Good afternoon/evening everyone (depending where you are in the world). I hope everyone is doing well and having a great start to the week. I just wanted to pick everyone’s brain for some advice.
I’m planning on finally pulling the trigger and buying my first cartier pieces. I’m torn between getting two love cuffs (anxious about screws) or one cuff and sm juc, both in yellow gold.
My heart was really set on getting the regular juc as a solo piece but I’m just insanely paranoid about the hinge loosening bc I do intend on taking it off daily. With the sm juc, I feel like the mechanism would allow me to stress less about it falling off and it’s subtle enough for daily use stacked with the cuff.
Any thoughts, opinions and advice would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Good Evening! You answered your own question. Go for the small JUC and the cuff. Have you considered the small Love bracelet? You can take that off easily.
If your heart was set on getting the regular JUC, I would start with that and build on your collection from there. Believe me, once something catches your eye, you never stop thinking about it and will always go back to it. There’s something to be worried about with every piece (scratches, hinges, etc.). I wouldn’t worry about the hinge at all. I would say most probably remove their JUC daily just because imo it’s not as comfortable to sleep in like the Love bracelet that is basically second nature once you wear it everyday. Something you should think about with the small JUC is the possibility it may get bent out of shape which is a worse problem to deal with than a loose hinge since Cartier can fix that. When the small JUC gets bent it does not look as good as how it used to. Just something to think about but I personally would choose the regular JUC since it’s what your heart wants. Then you can decide later what you want to add. I promise you won’t regret the JUC! Such a stunning piece on its own too. (:
Agree with this. I’ve had my regular JUC for 5? years and wear it daily with no issues.
Go with the bigger, bolder piece in your wishlist first. If you spend on smaller, incremental pieces, that top-end piece will elude you, financially.
Thank you for your response! Now I’m thinking would a better stack consist of the sm love and love cuff! They do look beautiful together and like you said, easier to remove. But I can’t stop thinking about the juc. Sigh ♀️
You’re absolutely right, every day I think about the regular juc and try to convince myself that I would prefer the smaller juc. There’s also that weird pressure I’m putting on myself to have two pieces to stack instead of one statement piece that I love. This is what I needed to hear. Thank you!
This is what I needed to hear. I actually saved up for a love bracelet and was on the verge of getting it but my heart belonged to the regular juc. I just felt a non-existent pressure to get something but I knew in the back of my mind I was settling so I didn’t make the purchase and decided to wait a little longer to get my dream piece. I’m going to get my dream piece first and later add on a cuff to stack with. Thank you for helping me make that decision.
Definitely do not settle for the small JUC if you 100% love the regular JUC. I know so many who bought the small and later regretted not getting the regular and sadly money was wasted. Go for the regular girl! You’ll be so happy you did and that you crossed it off your wishlist! ❤️
I really appreciate you taking the time out to give me such great advice. You’re right, I’ve literally been dreaming of owning this piece since I was 17, I’m 30 now and think it’s time. Thank you again! I will get the regular, hopefully before the next price hike! ❤️❤️❤️
A LOVE piece. I love JUC, but a love piece will always be a classic
I definitely will be including a live piece, it’s timeless and an icon in its own right. Thanks for your response.A LOVE piece. I love JUC, but a love piece will always be a classic
Agree with this also! I LOVE my regular JuC and wear it almost every day. I love that it's not hollow like the small JuC, which I did consider (and my SA told me the small ones do indeed bend). I have no issues with the hinge on my JuC.
It was a big purchase (mine is with diamonds) and I can say with confidence I have never regretted it (and that's not always the case!). Better to buy exactly what you want (and if you reaaallllyyy want a stack you can fill in for now with a non-designer piece until you get to your next bracelet). (FWIW, although Cartier Love and JuC hold their value at resale, lots of other pieces, and other high-end designers, do not.....)
Thank you for your advice, it’s quite reassuring. With regard to the bending of the small juc, I also worried that it might lose its shape from daily wear and tear since it isn’t as sturdy and weighty as the regular juc. God forbid it snags onto something and goes completely out of shape. I was really attracted to the small with diamonds, but you’re right I should go with my dream piece and add on as I go along. Thanks again!
Added my first JUC today!! Do you wear it 24/7 like the Love or tend to remove daily?
