I know the feeling! I actually love a more minimal look now and would wear mine alone, but I don't want to keep taking my Love on and off and then I have two Dinh Van bracelets that I love too.. so not enough arms!

I’m petite and my wrist is 5.75” so the small JUC looks much better on me. The regular size is much heavier so if you’re sensitive to having extra weight on your wrist it can be uncomfortable. Especially in the summer in warm climates when you swell. That’s why I prefer the small model. I’ve been wearing mine for many years now and no issues other than it does get caught on things from time to time.
To help you answer I was in your shoes. I loved the regular juc, and was prob gonna get reg without diamonds (to show off the unisex edgy vibe, although I love pave pieces). Tried on the diamond reg juc and loved it but felt it was overpriced. Then I toyed with getting a thin diamond love and the thin diamond juc to stack. But ultimately my heart went out to the diamond juc and I just splurged on it. Like starburst said, I honestly would have gotten both (heck, all 4 - thin juc in diamond and plain and reg juc in diamond and plain LOL). My SA had a good point tho - get the more expensive one to avoid increases, and she said a lot of people who bought the thin came back for regular. I think some people do get the small to save on budget like someone said, but it’s Also dainty and cute. However if you’re afraid of it snapping, that’s already one con you have which maybe you should just get the regular size. You can always get the thin down the line if you miss it
So you’re gonna keep both without diamonds? Maybe good to keep plain reg and thin with diamonds? LOL decisions!! I have the reg with diamonds and I want the thin without LOL
Oh I plan to get the regular with diamonds at some point 😂
I honestly would love reg without diamonds too as well as the thin. Can’t get enough LOL
Preference for me. I’m little, but have always preferred dainty jewelry. I have 5 various diamond Cartier bracelets, 2 pave rings and earrings so for me it’s not about price… it’s pref.
Just go try them… stop worrying about how people perceive the different sizes
The small is not remotely delicate. I’m not sure I believe it snapped tbh. If it truly happened then it was abused
Just get whatever YOU like
Ahh you're so lucky to little ! Your bracelets look stunning on you I've seen your photos. Your photos are the ones that originally drew me to the small juc with diamonds.
I'm happy to hear you don't believe the bracelet snapped without abuse . I saw a photo of it snapped online and my heart sank . I was hoping maybe it was abused to make that happen . I mean I wear a van cleef sweet bracelet 24/7 that's very delicate and it's never snapped.
I was worried the small was very delicate.
Does it feel like you can squash it with your fingers ? Does it feel solid to touch ( even if it is hollow) i hope that makes sense .
This is the image i saw online
The price increase is a good point . It would be better to get the regular first then the small based on that alone .
Also who knows in the future I may not always be financially able to afford the regular with diamonds. You never know what the future holds .
No lol You can’t squish it, I don’t know if that bracelet is even real in those photos. It’s not delicate AT ALL. If you read the thread, there’s been almost no quality issues with it. It’s not my priciest piece but it’s one of my favorites.
Thank you so sooo much for this response it's exactly what I needed to hear .
I love stacking dainty bracelets .
I really love when I've seen people stack it with the van cleef sweet bracelet and the small gold love bracelet .
My only worry is that I have chubby arms so as I wrote before I may look like roast pork with the strings around it . 😅
I wish I had more arms so I could have a dainty stack , love stack and a regular juc on its own 🤣
I don’t think this is a real Cartier bracelet. I had mine get stuck in one of my cardigans and it just flipped over. I flipped it back with no issue. I’ve been wearing mine 24/7 for over 2 years now.
Not sure if it helps but I wear it furthest from my hand at the bottom of my stack. It doesn’t get caught on things often
I hope you're right I hope it's because it isn't real.
That's really reassuring to know . Thank you for sharing !
Hey everyone !
I think the appearance of the small diamond juste un clou bracelet is really pretty and I think it would really compliment my stack of daintier bracelets i wear on one of my wrists.
However I've been hesitant to purchase as I can't view in store and I've watched alot of YouTube videos and read stories where people are saying the small juc is lightweight, hollow and they seem to often regret it and upgrade to the regular.
People have even had their juc break which scares me!
I don't want to have a piece of jewellery that I'm scared to wear incase it easily breaks.
I'm used to wearing delicate jewellery I wear a van cleef sweet alhambra bracelet 24/7 with no issues.
Is the small juc really that frail ?
Or are these likely just freak incidents?
It's a big purchase for me and I don't want to waste almost £5k on something if I can't wear it like the rest of my jewellery.
For example I'm worried will leaning on my arm crush it ? ( this worry comes from it being lightweight and hollow )
I would never forcefully lean on it but like if I'm sitting with my arm leaning on the table and I accidently lean on it will it squash it ?
It seems odd that cartier would release anything that would be too frail so I'm hoping the horror stories are rare .
Also it bending out of shape is a huge issue . It needs to stay straight looking at nothing ends or it will look awful . Does this happen often ?
Very close to purchasing a small rose gold diamond juc .
I also love the regular and I'm struggling to decide whether to skip the small but I can't help feel like the small would work best with my dainty bracelets .
Any photos or stories / opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance to anyone who replies

Why has my above post been merged into this thread ? I was asking a specific question and wanted to do a poll on how many people had issues but I can't add a poll here now I don't think .
