Hi,
I searched for this, but didn't come up with anything, just bracelets. I'm curious about the regular vs the small JUC ring. Is the regular more of a statement piece? Is the JUC ring uncomfortable? I'd like to wear it 24/7. If you got one with the diamonds on the head, was it worth it? Any inspo photos would be much appreciated (I don't have a Cartier in my state).

Here is my current stack-- I'm thinking a RG JUC would go well to tie in my RG pave love, but I don't want it to overshadow my wedding set. I'd probably wear it on my middle finger on my right hand. TIA!! :) IMG_8243.webp

The regular JUC ring definitely is visibly bigger than the small JUC ring. Therefore, relative to the small JUC, yes, it is more of a statement but that depends on what a statement piece means to you. (I can see some saying the regular JUC ring is standard and not statement, but I can see others seeing it as a statement piece.)
I have the small because it looks better on me proportionally.

Photos below, I like to stack mine with other rings.

While I don't have the JUC ring with a diamond head and end, I think it would help give it more presence seeing that you have quite a bit of bling on already.

As for comfort, I think JUC rings are a bit of an "acquired taste" when it comes to how one feels wearing them. It's an irregular shape and can take some getting use to. Some people really don't like the nail head pressing into their skin, others don't care. (It can create an indentation which may bother some people.) The nail tip can or cannot poke you. Mine did on a couple occasions right in the beginning but not after that.
In order for the JUC ring to fit you may need to go down a half or whole size (depending if you like to use European or American sizing) compared to your usual ring size. This is mainly due to the irregular shape.
I had to go down 1 European size, because I did the shake test and the ring flew off my finger lol.

Personally, if you're going for something with more statement or uniqueness, I love the double wrap JUC. It's not something I've seen ever in the wild and I believe it comes with the diamonds on the head.

Thank you for your thorough response! It's so hard to know how it would look on my hand, and I feel like the different sizes would look different on various hands...

I love your stack!! How do you like the serpenti band? I was also considering the serpenti line, but wasn't sure if it would go with my bracelets.

Thank you for letting me know that it could potentially poke your finger and that I should potentially size down! I'll ask my SA about the sizing since I'm out of state from any Cartier store. The double wrap is gorgeous too, that's something I hadn't considered, but now I'm taking a look!

Thank you! I love the Serpenti band! I'm glad I got it when I did back in 2018. It's pretty banged up but I've been wearing it every weekend for 5 years, stacked with the JUC ring and with adjacent rings. I'm a fan of Bvlgari jewelry and enjoy serpentine inspired design.
I think because the Serpentine line is mostly clean edge, it goes well with the clean, industrial look of Cartier pieces.

I have a regular JUC ring without diamonds and I find it pretty comfortable. I don't wear any rings, except for the oura, 24/7, so I cannot comment on that, but it's not bothering me at all when I wear it. I consider it quite a statement piece, it's definitely not dainty.
Have you considered a pave JUC ring for your stack? I think it'd beautifully coordinate with your pave loves. Not sure if you've seen it in the boutique - pave juc is much thinner than the regular one. Love your manicure!

Thank you so much for your response! That's great to know that it doesn't bother you when you wear it. It sounds like I might like the small version better; I don't want it to compete with my wedding set/VCA bracelet.

I haven't, I'll look it up! Thanks for the suggestion :) I'd love a pave JUC ring. Thank you (they're press ons from Amazon lol)

A bit of an old thread but I had the same dilemma and settled for the small. My (male) fingers are long and a bit on the thinner side, so the regular size JUC was too thick and looked a bit costume-y. I know the small JUC is probably not a statement and flys under the radar, but I do like that—and if I need any height, I can add a gold band under it IMG_2143.webp
