Juste Un Clou Bracelet (JUC) Discussion

Hello! Just purchased a Juste en clou to stack with my regular and thin love stack. Within two weeks the nail head on the Juste en clou is all scratched around the edges. I wear mine with the nail head facing my love bracelets, as advised by my SA. Is this normal and has any one else experienced this? Does it get better over time?

I'm at the lake for the holiday and don't have mine with me to look closely. Mine is the small YG with diamonds and I wear it with the nail head next to my Loves as well. I don't ever notice scratches, but I also don't really ever look at it closely tbh.
Gold scratches so I'd definitely expect some scratches.

Yeah this is my exact experience as well. My SA also said to wear it nail head facing my Love, but I found damage to both my nail head and the edge of my Love. If you flip the JUC, the tail constantly goes over my Love scratching it (and the inside of the nailhead also takes on damage).

I have found no good way to wear the JUC and Love together without damage except to put a gold colored hair tie in between them. Which I hate doing, but I seem to have no other perfect option to the moment. I’ve also tried putting a couple Cartier cord bracelets in between, which work, but not perfectly.

Basically, I’ve researched this way too much, and I found that the more your bracelets move, the more likely you are to have the wear and tear from contact. Also I’m sure whether it’s a regular JUC or small JUC also impacts this as the regular is heavier than the small. Some people have reported that the edge of their nailhead even flattens out a bit from the constant banging, and some Love bracelets even get slight indents at the point of contact. Of course others report no damage. And some people don’t care as they expect damage.

If you find a solution, let me know! (I’m crazy, because I’ve dreamed of a thin clear silicone band that I could put around the outside of the nailhead to protect both it and the Love bracelet!)
 
I report no damage. Scratches are inevitable, but I have no "wear" in the way of shape change, and my Small Juc is on the bottom of a pretty heavy stack of Loves. The round nail head has retained it's shape beautifully despite several years of constant wear.
My stack was more snug at first and now is relatively loose.

I love this response and so happy someone feels my pain. A part of me thinks I need to be okay with wearing it and it getting scratched, etc. but also wanted to make sure it was normal.

If you don’t mind me asking- how long have you had your stack and have things gotten worse? Or is the worst part at the beginning with the initial damage?
 
Following this discussion closely as the juc is next on my list to stack with my regular love. Still unsure if I’m going with regular or sm size, and I’m curious to hear input regarding both pieces wear and tear/ scratching

So I’m backwards from you - I had my regular JUC first and then added a regular Love bracelet in May. In all honesty, I noticed the wear and tear after a couple days and immediately started googling to hear other’s experiences. I’ve been wearing mine with a buffer in between ever since only because I’m not ready to make a decision 😂 I know damage will happen. It just pains me to know I’m causing the damage by choosing to stack them - versus just wear and tear from life. If that even makes sense.

Thanks! Are your scratches similar to the ones I shared in the image?
 
Like I said, I don't have it with me right now, but I've never notched scratches on the head, but mine has diamonds so not sure if that matters. I did scratch the bangle side shortly after I got it, kind of "rips the band aid off" so to speak! lol
