Regular or small diamond JUC?

I prefer the thin for myself. This has nothing to do with the price difference, but how it looks on my small wrist.
On the other hand, my mom prefers the original and I agree with her that it looks better than the thin on her wrist.

I’d recommend trying both on and going from there. I do not think the thin is a fragile piece and I dislike when it’s compared to the Tiffany wire bracelets because they’re very different on how they close.

I have both. The thin is so comfortable and weightless to wear during the day, it does not crash into other bracelets in the stack when you move your arm because it is so light, but it still looks substantial enough on the arm. I do not like sleeping with it because every night I wake up with my arm firmly anchored and attached to my blankets 😅 It is disorienting in the middle of the night and I am glad that I never had anything urgent to tend to! It also happens with sweaters and long sleeve knit tops, because the nail point is so thin, and because there is no “stopper” on the clasp area like there is on the regular size, so it can just keep rotating all of the way around once it penetrates some fabric.

The regular size has no issues getting me stuck to blankets at night or to sweaters during the day since it is so much thicker than the small and has the stopper at the clasp (so only the very point of the nail is free), but it can get wedged at a high position on my arm at night and cuts into my skin sometimes. I also find it moves a lot when I exercise because it is fairly heavy, but this is solved with a wrist band.

Maybe I am just a violent sleeper!
 
This is very much a matter of personal taste, how you want to stack (or not) the piece, and the effect you want it to have on your arm.
I have and love the regular JuC with diamonds but I tried both on to decide. I just happen to prefer the thicker, weightier look for this industrial design. I wear it with 1-4 other bangles almost every day and IMO it doesn't scratch any more than any bracelet would. It's definitely not heavy enough to dent anything.
I take mine off for the gym, cooking/anything really hand-intensive, and I also take my whole stack off when I come home and am in for the night - I can't sleep in jewelry of any kind ;)
 
I have both. The thin is super lightweight and I dare say a bit flimsy for the price. However some people like that it is so comfortable and light. The regular is heavy and feels substantial and statement. You know WHY it costs more than double the thin. The construction is superior and you feel the weight of the gold. However it is heavier so it may bother some people.

Personally I prefer the regular one (I have diamonds). It’s absolutely stunning. I wear the thin one when I am more casual and don’t want as much attention. Hope that helps.
 
I do not have either JUC but have tried on both. I really like the regular JUC and I think it is a beautiful stand alone piece, with or without diamonds. I think depending on loose / snug fit of the regular it could crash into adjacent stacked bracelets given the weight of it. It would likely cause marks on the sides of other bracelets but I find anything stacked does this.

I had the small and ended up selling it. It wasn't flimsy, per se, but I always felt it was a bit too small for my larger wrists. I always regretted not getting the bigger one. I love the regular sized JUC, definitely prefer it over the small one. You should try them both on and see which one looks best on your wrist.
 
I liked both but walked home and with rhe regular with diamonds. I like more substantial bracelets and it was more of a statement. The small is cuter for stacking, and I wore my regular with my clash (of course caused a few teeny scratches) and I wished I wore it alone! And that’s what I love about the regular - that I could wear it alone. You can’t go wrong though with either. I have a fairly small wrist for reference (size 14) and I got a 15 juc.

I have the small JUC and stack with my regular love. I love how light it is! My wrists are 14 cm (13.8 now that it’s cold) and I felt like the regular was too much on my frame. My love is a 16 and does overlap the JUC on the back of my wrist regularly. Occasionally, I have seen it pass over the top of the nail head. Something to consider if you stack with a loose fit.

I love my regular JUC with diamonds and hardly ever take it off. I even have no issues sleeping with it. I have some minor marks on the side of my one love but nothing too noticeable. I’m glad I went with the regular one. Also I’m petite and thin with small wrists and I don’t find it that big on me .

I also have sensitive wrists from prior injuries and I’m not bothered by it at all.

I have a small JUC w/ diamonds I stack with a full sized love and a diamond tennis bangle. It is not too delicate, but I would like to get a regular size one soon too because I plan to add another love bracelet to my stack and feel like the JUC might look too small after I do that!

I stack my small diamond JUC with 2 regular Loves plus a small Love, I totally prefer the proportion even with full size Loves
 
I think it really depends on the size of your wrist and whether you prefer dainty/chunky jewellery. I have a very small wrist so the regular JUC looked a bit too chunky for me so I opted for the small but with diamonds to add a bit of sparkle. I rarely take mine off along with my love bracelet and had I bought the regular size, I don't think I would've gotten much use out of it. My advice is to go in and try them both on!

Excellent advice. I was confident I was going to buy a small love the day I got my small JUC. The small love just didn’t stack right on me. The JUC “made my heart sing“ as they say. Happy Holidays everyone!
