I see plenty of pics of people stacking both of these bracelets, but I'm wondering how they'd look worn alone and not stacked?

I'm contemplating putting one of the two on my list, both fit the price point that I am willing to spend (I could do the small JUC with the demi pave too, but that's the upper limit, budget wise).

I can see myself occasionally stacking whichever bracelet I get with a tennis bracelet, but about 90% of the time I'd wear it alone.

I don't want the regular love bracelet because I hate the idea of a bracelet I can't regularly take off; and the regular JUC is priced significantly higher than I want to go. I could do the love cuff though, I just generally prefer full bracelets to cuffs.

Suggestions, thoughts and inspo pics are super welcome and appreciated!! Thanks!

Are you very petite?
I personally think these pieces look too small and don’t have much impact when worn alone.
I used to be opposed to the love bracelet because I didn’t think I’d want a bracelet I can’t easily take off. I got mine 6 1/2 years ago and love it!

Personally I find the slim love more elegant on its own than the JUC, though both are beautiful! The JUC somehow looks more lonely and bit flimsy than the love when not stacked. Happy pondering!

Maybe I need to go try them on! I could also do the Bulgari serpenti (no diamonds) in the same price point so maybe that would be better but I feel like the serpenti looks best with some bling in it.

I’m petite, but not what I’d classify as very petite (5’3”, US4, but my arms and wrists are not slim).

That’s my concern as well, that the pieces will look too small. The reason I’m contemplating it is because I don’t have a YG bracelet and I feel like I need one to round out my collection. But that’s also the reason I wouldn’t want a full love bracelet because I would want to wear it maybe a couple times a week. Also I have sensory issues with jewellery while sleeping, and I am a powerlifter and boxer so I will need to remove my jewellery while working out.

I guess I could just get an unbranded bracelet, or maybe get the full size Bulgari serpenti which is in the approximate price point… but I like the touch of bling in the small JUC. I guess I’ll have to go try them all on!

I wear my small love alone all the time, especially in the summer. I’ve always liked how dainty it looks on its own.

Everyone tried to tell me I’d regret not getting the classic love bracelet, but I never liked it. I only started paying attention to Cartier when the small love was released. I’m 5’7”, so I don’t think I’m petite. I have slim wrists and felt like a classic love was overwhelming when I tried it on.

I haven’t tried wearing my small JUC alone but I have seen it on some other girls online.

If you’re looking for other gold bangle options, I purchased a Chaumet BML bangle last year and love it! I have worn it alone, stacked with my small love, and stacked with the small love/small JUC.

Thank you for the vote! The chaumet BML is also very cute, but I don’t live in a place with a chaumet so I’d have to wait till I travel to be able to try it on.

Small juc alone! Doesn’t look too dainty or flimsy in my opinion. This is a size 15. Go try them on!

Oh I actually really like it on you! You’re right, it doesn’t look too dainty or flimsy. Definitely a strong contender! I’d need a size 16, I think.

I won’t be buying it for a while but I do think I’ll go try it on and see how I feel about it :D

I definitely will be trying and visiting the bracelets a couple times before I make a decision either way! Just have a bunch of things on the wishlist to work through first, haha.

I think the small JUC looks beautiful solo and is super underrated solo.

Gorgeous. I love how delicate it looks.

Well I had been wearing my small JUC stacked with a regular Love and a Dinh Van bangle, but, (this week anyway :lol: ) I'm a little over the stacked bangles so tried the JUC alone. Personally I'm loving the simplicity and I actually think the JUC is more noticeable when not competing with other bracelets.

I'm going back and forth in my head about whether the small nail head would bother me or if I'd want the more robust nail head of the regular. I know there's no way to know until I try. I do think that the small JUC looks more complete than the small Love on its own after all the stalking I've done of the internet!

This is absolutely true. I went to the boutique thinking that I would buy a small love and I walked out with a full sized diamond JUC! It’s the proverbial “see what makes your heart sing” story, which you’ll never know until you try them on. At the time, I wasn’t even interested in the JUC, based upon the photos I saw.

the issue with my heart falling in love is that my wallet doesn't often comply! :lol:

Small Love alone looks very elegant. If you want to occasionally stack it with a tennis bracelet, it will look beautiful and elegant as well. Small JUC without diamonds around a nail head seems plain alone. That is why I got the diamond one - substantial to wear alone but I have very small wrists. Regular love looked obnoxious on me. While I love small Love, I reach out for small JUC more out of convenience as it is easier to put it on.
