I popped by a Cartier store today with high hopes of trying on the thin Love and falling in love with it. I was so underwhelmed by the square-ish edge and how clumsy the size 16 looked on my wrist (approx 13cm).
Saw the JUC Sm, tried the YG with and without diamonds in size 15, the stars just aligned. Esp so since I will be wearing it with my 3 station YG DBTY bracelet which my hubs gifted me 1.5 weeks ago on my birthday.
I did not pull the trigger because 1) the SA kept pushing me to get the Love even when I expressed how uncomfortable it felt (she dissed me on getting a Trinity as my first Cartier piece and was more interested talking about the Love when I asked questions about the JUC), 2) should I purchase with or without diamonds (difference is about $2k for the little smattering on the nail head & tip), and 3) how it will hold up for 24/7 wear (day to day, I manage a yoga studio, nothing heavy duty and I run 2-3x a week - will the JUC "slip" off?).
Please share your thoughts if you wear your JUC Sm 24/7. Thanks!

I wear the small JUC 24/7 and I think it’s really comfortable and holds up well. When I exercise I normally wear a sweatband over both my JUC and Love.

I think you should go for what you love, regardless of what the SA is pushing you towards. If you feel the JUC is the most comfortable for you, get it! I love both the original and the one with diamonds, so that will be a difficult choice.

Sweatband!! What a fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing this!

It is a v comfortable bracelet and I really like the understated edginess. I have plans to return to the Cartier store where we bought my Trinity from last year, service was top notch. I am definitely gg for the JUC, but I need to try diamonds and no diamonds together to decide.

@jforjasmine I also wear a sm juc 24/7 and I love it. It’s very comfortable and feels secure.

Sorry your SA experience was lackluster. I’ve been lucky enough to develop a good relationship with mine. But if you’ve already tried it on and know your size, you can always just order online. So really the SA only hurts herself.

As far as diamond vs non diamond...that’s a tough call. Mine does not have diamonds (I’m a guy and diamonds just don’t make my heart sing) but I think the diamond one is very pretty on others. A good contrast of a utilitarian design of a nail with the glam of diamonds. Can’t go wrong with either really.

Thank you for sharing. I give myself til the end of Sept to decide. I am in no rush, I wanna make sure I cover all bases cos there will be no room for buyers remorse (so glad I tried the thin Love before dropping almost $6k online and regretting).

My JUC is the non-diamond one but when I bought mine last year the diamond one wasn’t out yet. I love the diamond one from the pictures I’ve seen online though. If it was an option last year I might have been super tempted to splurge in the diamond one.

I really like how it works with your diamond bracelet! Could you please share the specs and where it is from.

Thank you so much! It’s a custom piece by my jeweller here in Montreal, they’re called Ex Aurum. It’s actually a bangle and there are only diamonds on the one side of it (but it’s designed and sized in such a way that the bangle never turns around so the diamonds are always facing up!). It’s 18k white gold with 17 diamonds, they’re about 7.5 points each.
