Cartier Juste un Clou Classic vs Small comparison, my experience having BOTH

[@areum1992]

What is the gold weight of juc small?? Do u think they will increase gold weight by 1-2grams if I ask them?

[@destineeridenour1012]

Okay, first things first, you're beautiful 🩷 Second what necklaces are you wearing. It looks like you are wearing a VCA malachite, but I cannot tell. Also what necklace are you layering with that? It looks so nice 😍

I'm like you, purchased the small juc w/ diamonds, then went back for the classic a few years later. I will say, they serve two completely different purposes to me. The small juc, I can wear daily. It's comfortable and dainty, so it pairs well w/ any outfit, casual or dressy. The classic juc is more of a date night or event piece. I'm petite, so the classic appears more prominent on my wrist than the smaller juc. That's how I was able to justify both. 😂

I have both the small (skinny) and standard (classic) Juste Un Clou in rose gold. My only issue with both is the nail point can easy snag on towels and knit sweaters.

[@sofialyyk]

Which side do you wear it? Because for me one side always catches on, but if I turn it around it doesn’t catch on anything…

[@ChiaraJade811]

@@sofialyyki I have had mine for a year with nail head away from my LOVE bracelets. Either way I wear it, upside or down, it still snags on towels and sweaters.

[@sofialyyk]

When I wear mine nail head up, meaning the end at the hand, it catches on things much less than the other way around. Not sure why exactly But yes, this model will catch either way, love it though! It’s such an elegant but edgy design, so timeless too at the same time😊 one of my favorite from Cartier 😍

I have the regular size but initially I bought the small size with diamonds. The small one didn’t match with my other jewelry that I wanted to stack so I exchanged for the regular with no diamonds. LOVE the JUC. It is my favorite jewelry item and it never comes off. It only digs into my skin when it is being pressed but no discomfort when I sleep and it rarely snags on my clothes. Definitely expensive but no regrets here.

[@sofialyyk]

Thank you for sharing! For you exchange it directly in the boutique? I love my regular JUC as well, it doesn’t catch on my clothes much and I find it pretty comfortable, it took me some time to get used to it being on my arm, but after a while I don’t even feel it! I think it’s such a staple from Cartier 😍

[@ModesTy33]

@@sofialyyk Yes I exchanged it at the boutique. I bought the small one in Paris but I was able to complete the exchange at a boutique when I returned to the US.

[@sofialyyk]

That’s interesting, did you get a tax back? Because I was told when I was back in Paris that there are no exchanges of turns if I bought something abroad and got a tax back 🤔

[@ModesTy33]

@@sofialyyk Yea I got the tax back but I was told that I would only be credited the retail price for the exchange and would have to pay the difference from the small JUC with diamonds to the regular JUC no diamonds.

[@sofialyyk]

Oh that’s interesting. You got credited retail price which is higher than you paid in the first place right? I was told there absolutely no way they can exchange the item if it was bought abroad and I got tax back… and that was in their main store in Paris 🤯 Maybe it’s a French law, not sure, but it seems like there are ways around

[@ALLIENYC]

Ah what a great stack of bracelets you have here. So pretty and chic. Both overpriced 🤣. Yes they are very expensive. Yes it is quality gold and has diamonds so you will pay for this along with the name. But if you have 12k laying around to spend on bracelets I would not worry about. And yes skip the hollow bracelet. Honestly I have a "gold" bracelet that looks like a bent nail and it is fun to wear and cost A LOT less then this one though it does not bend like this. Interesting convo here girlie, just subbed and keep up the informative posts.👍☺

[@sofialyyk]

Thank you dear! My stack could improve, but it’s already a great one 😊 Yes, I also feel like the quality is superiors for other options on the market but it makes sense to invest wisely, only into exceptional pieces… And the piece that you have that is hollow, it also bends? Or it’s rigid? Thank you for subscribing and for the support 😊

[@areum1992]

@@sofialyykthe one that I’ve bends just like juc small…does Cartier think they have innovated something extraordinary 😂???

[@izabella1944]

I ended up buying both and returned them because the nail head was digging into my hand leaving 11 like dents, I don't know how people find this bracelet comfortable some even sleep in it,

[@sofialyyk]

I find it comfortable to sleep in, but I do wear it nail head up, the other way around it’s pretty uncomfortable for me. But I am sure you would get used to it, how much time did you give it before you returned them?

[@izabella1944]

@@sofialyyk About a week for each. I tried the diamond versions, then the small one with just gold. I would last about 3 hrs a day but it was so uncomfortable pinning my skin. I couldn't tested out longer becasue if the bracelet showed scratches then I wouldn't be able to return it. How long did it take you to get use to the bracelets? thx :)

[@sofialyyk]

I would say that I took me a couple of weeks to get used to the bracelet. But I do have to wear it only one way, nail head facing up, otherwise the nail head is hurting my hand… But now I find it very comfortable when I wear it nail head up, do not even notice it is there anymore 😊

[@izabella1944]

@@sofialyyk pls clarify what to you mean mail head facing up? To you mean the mail head is facing you or away from you. Thx

[@sofialyyk]

Yes it’s confusing I know 😅 I mean the position when the nail head is facing me 😊
