When I’m old(er)

[Deleted member 626500]

I had the JUC and I wore it with my Cartier Love's for years. One day I looked at them and said "enough." I outgrew them--not because of my age, but because I had my fun with them and wanted something different. I also wanted bracelets I could remove. (I found the JUC impossible to take off, so I left it on 24/7.)
So as other forum members have suggested, buy what you love today. Who knows what your taste will be 20 years from now? It may stand the test of time, it may not, but if not, you can always resell it (just save the paperwork).

She obviously has a preference but these two bracelets are very different things, go with what you like and the JUC is more versatile with outfits anyways

This is what I only ask shopping advice from friends that really know and get me. I've loved the same things since I was 3, I just didn't have the money to buy them then.

Buy and wear for YOU, you not a number

JUC and VCA MOP are great pieces. I know plenty of people in their 40s and 50's with a JUC and it looks great on them. Buy what you love now. Life is too short to buy jewelry based on what will be happening in 15+ years. Have fun!

I bought a YG JUC with diamonds a few months ago, which puts a smile on my face every time I look at it. I’m 63 and the thought that I’m too old for it NEVER crossed my mind. Sometimes I stack it with an Hermès CDC bangle for an edgier look.

My age never crossed my mind when considering the JUC either! As @americanroyal89 posted, overall style is a consideration.

Only slightly off topic, but I am 59+ and thinking of getting the JUC with diamonds. My question is you all got the regular or slimmer version?

Here's an impromptu older lady stack. Sorry I don't want to show my 50-year old face.View attachment 5241851

Meant to quote the above posters to see if the regular or slim is the one the got or want?

Nice to see "older" TPFers congregate here...

@Onthego. I have the sm. It looks better on me. I initially thought I should like the regular. However after trying both, I decided on the slim.

I bought the regular size. I’m tall (5’8”) and relatively slender and I like the heft of the piece. As mentioned above, I either wear it alone or with an Hermès CDC bangle.

Hope that helps.

I'm 5'1". Get the regular. It stacks nicely with other pieces.

I am 49 years old and I rock the juc with diamonds. I have VCA 5 motifs and I think those are way too old for me. lol

Wasn't aware the JUC had an expiration date. :shrug:

I would not listen to your friend.

At 3 I didn't know what Cartier is. Not even 5 years back

But when you were little, you might of thought - "I want Mummy's ring" which may have happened to be a Cartier Trinity LM
