I used to be an avid purse lover but now I'm more of a jewelry person. You're right about it being a selfish pleasure. My fine jewelry pieces make me so happy and I get to wear them daily, unlike my purses.

[@KatL]

Yeaaaaaa😍😍😍😍

[@helloxluxury]

YAY I’ve been looking forward to this video!! Thank you for such an in-depth review and sharing your honest opinions Kat! We all deserve to treat ourselves here and the feeling you get from wearing it all the time is priceless! ☺️✨

[@KatL]

Thank you dear. ❤️❤️

[@Kate_Mnl]

Amazing review Kat! I love your final thoughts. They're exactly what I feel after I bought my live and juc. I'm obsessed! I don't know if you remember but I followed your advice during the live stream to get them lol. I really enjoy wearing them. So worth it! 😊

[@KraftyPaws]

I have sticker shock for this bracelet, but it is absolutely GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing all your thoughts and recommendations. So helpful!

[@LifeofMC]

This is very helpful dear Kat as i am planning to purchase a regular JUC bracelet to match my ring. I finally have a decision...lol! Thanks for this wonderful review! More success on your career and channel! Happy new year to you and your family! Xoxo

[@ClaraZeela]

So happy to see you are enjoying your JUC and can totally relate !! Great points for those who may be exploring to get it ! You did the right thing to get the thick one --> all the way !!!! 😍😍😍. Enjoy enjoy !!

[@KatL]

Thank you babe! ❤️❤️❤️

[@junewells79]

Great feedback on the JUC. I’ve had the thin version on my wishlist for a year now, but couldn’t commit buying it. This week I tried the classic version and completely stole my heart. Now saving up a bit longer for the classic version. Your input has been very helpful.

[@KatL]

Yeaaaasssss! It is really KAPOOWWWW gorgeous!

[@heatherdikho4426]

great review, especially going in depth about the size and being so real!

[@KatL]

Thank you!

[@kimcurated]

Great points babe, I agree it’s a guilty pleasure and so satisfying plus it’s so worth it because I wear mine all the time 💖💖💖💖

[@Trophywifey22]

Great review ! Thank you for sharing your tips and thoughts on JCL. I just got mine in rose gold with diamond few weeks ago and I am loving it ! I agree…the regular one is a statement piece. So glad I decided to go for the regular Version instead on thin version ! Love your contents, Kat 😊

[@KatL]

Congrats! Yeaaaaaa

[@JourneyWithJackie]

so glaad it worked out for you...love those candles i have to find them...

Thank you Wendy!

[@nurinaputri739]

lol.. i would have my mom chasing me with the rotan too if she knew how much i spent on luxuries! great video btw, you mentioned all points i concerned/thought about

[@kklvoescc]

I agree 💯!! I just said something similar on the ten things that make me happy video, jewelry gives you such personal satisfaction, so much more than handbags it’s insane! I’m on that slippery slope right with you girl! 🤣🤣🤣 Great review! 😘😘😘

[@KatL]

Oh girllll, that SLOPE! It’s steep and soooo slippery hahahaha

[@ushua8866]

Yes definitely, I feel the same about fine jewellery 😍

[@lilian.bloom.petite.stylist]

I have a tiny wrist but when I put on the Classic Love, I love it as it looks much better than the small Love. However the small JUC looks nicer on me than the JUC. Definitely go for the one you love and make you feel good, then you won’t waste money twice 😀😃😄.

[@fifitiny6307]

Thank you for the content Kat I am wondering what do you recommend me to choose between love bracelet and chanel classic flap

[@mariaq8435]

Great and informative video!!👌🏻👌🏻❤️

[@KatL]

Glad you liked it!!

[@Mandy_Dang]

I got my JUC in pave diamond, also noticed that it hurts my arm at beginning but you will get used to that. I love my JUC more than any other jewelries i had, i gave up my Van cleef bracelet in gold to wear JUC by itself and it so beautiful, edgy and elegant at the same time. My bracelet also had loose hinges, ask Cartier to fix it free of charge. It will be required to ship to NY (im living in US), waiting time about 2 weeks. My Bracelet after fixing is in perfect condition, very tight hinge and secured. Great choice. Hope it helps.

[@KatL]

thank you for sharing! i will tell my SA.

[@inaonoson]

Hi Kat, you can try wearing those wrist sweatbands when you work out. Not tight enough to leave marks but tight enough to hold the bangles in place so they don't fly off. I do this with my stack and boxing classes are ok!

[@KatL]

yea! it works!

[@Sweetnessamore]

Thank you for sharing the correct way to put on and wear JUC. I love this bracelet so much that I don’t take it out.

[@KatL]

Any time!

[@mandyloh6691]

Omg tats a confirmation Kat after your thoughts as I was contemplating between thin and thick version because of the price. But I always feel The thick JuC feels kapao tat I really agree with u 😅😅. Ok tat will be my own Xmas gift lol 😘😘

[@KatL]

Yup, KAPOWWWWW

[@apoorvan5317]

I totally agree. I was leaning towards the small, but this video convinced me to get the thick version for christmas :)

[@tammybrown1929]

Nice video. I want the White gold with diamonds.

[@KatL]

thank you - the white gold with diamonds is STUNNING!

[@luxlovejourney2016]

Like you said, I've almost fell into the trap of getting this over something else because of social media. But after giving it some thought, I've decided to go for Tiffany T bracelet in small. That bracelet is substantial enough that I feel like the price is not that bad and its less than half the price of JCU. also, the style is classic and something that I know won't bejust a trend piece. For some reason, JCU feels like just a trendy piece for me. If ever I get it someday, I think would go for smaller version with diamond. That looks more dainty and timeless for me.

[@KatL]

Yup, the T bracelet is super lovely. One of my faves! Wished it was a little stiffer, but nevertheless, it is stunning. I totally love the JUC with diamonds, whatever the size!

[@SabrinaShekofteh]

Great review. thanks darling! xo

Thank you Sabrina 😘

[@sophiaottley7203]

if you had to choose between one, which would you go for? The JUC or the love?

[@misst5]

Very informative. Thank you 😊

[@KatL]

Thank you!

[@AnnMarjorie05]

omg, love watching your vlog

[@KatL]

thank you for watching

[@karengrimes6843]

I love my JUC- i wear mine above the love bracelet and it does not tend to cross over. It crosses if you wear it below them.

[@KatL]

I’ll try it 😘

[@bitsnbags]

I hear you about the influence. But don't forget, it's always pure gold. Gold is the only amenity that holds its value, so not irresponsible spending xx

[@KatL]

❤️❤️❤️

[@user-di3xd5zp1d]

I was told the SM JUC is hollow which is why it bends.

[@bitsnbags]

@@user-di3xd5zp1d yes, that's true, otherwise you wouldn't be able to twist it slightly. But it has other reinforcement inside...

[@kimmychiu8794]

I hv the thin version of JUC bracelet and I wear exactly like you which the nail head is facing outside. May be because it's a thin one so I don't really find it digs into my skin.Kat,can you please do a review on your Cartier single earring later cuz I am really interested in it. Thankks😍😍🙏🙏

[@KatL]

Ok ok. Soon!

[@jmah9766]

Curious, how can you tell where it was made? I know u mentioned about Italy vs Sweden.

[@liping2710]

I tried the JUC SM bracelet with diamonds and loved it! But I’m not ready to pay this much yet for a bracelet 😅

[@KatL]

I totally understand!

[@Laura-hl5gu]

Hi! Can you please tell me where you purchased your pre-loved Cartier bracelet? I'm really wanting to find recommendations of trustworthy places. Thanks!

[@TheNarmeen89]

Where do you look for resale luxury jewelry?

[@diddywongwut8214]

Thanks for your content. Do you mix metals? I have a white gold love bracelet and yellow gold JUC. Now I’m struggling to match my other pieces cuz I think I should keep the mixing through my rings and necklaces too.

[@KatL]

Yes I mix metals

[@sococo1464]

How did you figure out where your bracelet was made? I looked at the stamp, authenticity certificate and receipt and still haven't figured it out. Mine is very stiff. I was also planning to do a review. This is super useful info.

[@KatL]

According to Gina , you will only know when you buy it at the store. That little white price tag ...it states the location. But they don’t give you that tag. I didn’t know until Gina shared it

[@beautifullysurprised9908]

Thanks so much for the valuable info. May I ask you what size is your wrist and what size Love Bracelet are you wearing? I have a small wrist also. Just trying to estimate size - The closest Cartier store is hours away from me. This may sound crazy but have been considering getting a Love Bracelet in a big size that I can actually slip off. Not sure if that's weird. Just don't like the idea of being unable to remove it as desired. It's why I never got one years ago when they cost a lot less (LOL).

[@KatL]

Hi, thank you for the comment. My waist size is listed in the description section. My love is size 16

[@thinking1085]

I love Cartier

[@ssd1453]

Hi which one do you recommend for my first cartier purchase this one or the love bracelet? I can’t decide! Xoxo

[@KatL]

Hey babe! One BIG factor, besides the liking the look, is taking off the bracelet. If you need to remove the bracelet daily , say before you sleep - I wouldnt recommend the Love. The screw mechanism will be annoying. But if you prefer the look of the love & need to remove it nightly ... go check out the love cuff

[@kathybuddemeyer1345]

It’s a shame they don’t make a 14. Suggestion for exercising, have you ever tried a sweat band for your wrist?

[@KatL]

Yup yup, I wear a nike sweat band over the bracelet .

[@tahneeblazekovic7634]

Hi great video could you please do a jewellery collection video

[@KatL]

Soon soon!

[@shananick401]

Nice babe. Not for me now and i am the type that need to remove all my jewelry daily before i shower or go to bed. Oh btw do share your review on the rings as well. Nowadays if we use hand sanitizer a lot, don't they get rub with hand sanitizer too which is not good? Don't mind to share your thoughts. I got freak out that day when i accidentally rub hand sanitizer on one of the Ana Luisa's ring. I quickly remove it after that run it on water and quickly dry it. I know it says remove when showering, don't get it wet but with the pandemic how not to. Hehe if with JUC i think i will freak out more.

[@KatL]

I am careful with my rings and hand sanitizers. pure Gold or gold plated, it freaks me out. Lol

[@JW-wf2pv]

When I run the nail head with diamonds leaves an abrasion on my hand - so I have to run with an sweat wristguard, that solves the problem for me.

[@JW-wf2pv]

That’s interesting - I didn’t know about the hinge - I have a tight stiff hinge even after having my bracelet for years. My bracelet is on the big side, but needs pressure to rotate on the wrist.

[@KatL]

@@JW-wf2pv yup the hinge thing was something I didn’t know too until I watched gina’s video. My hinge is so loose!

[@jadormycc8819]

Weird, my SA said the recommended way to wear the bracelet is the sharp part facing inward. Lol I guess we hear different stories everywhere

[@TaniaTiana]

Hi! What is your wrist size in cm? I have the same issue with size 15 and this is too big on me😞

[@KatL]

Hi my wrist is abt 13.5cm

[@melaniechan1739]

I’m not sure if it’s different with the small size vs the normal one but I wear mine bracelet with the nail head touching mine small love and i don’t see it overlap as much as when I wore it the other way? 😅I’m not sure what the right way is

[@KatL]

No right or wrong way to wear it lol. The SA just recommended that the nail head face outwards .

[@farahsgymnastics2376]

My SA recommended I wear mine with nail head touching as well so that it doesn’t overlap. Mine never overlaps.

[@toki7111]

hey Kat, what's your wrist size? 🙏🙏 i'm debating over JUC small size 14 and 15 because my wrist is super small as well

[@toki7111]

nevermind, i got my answer 😅😅

[@toki7111]

another question 🙏🙏 have you ever tried the juste un clou small in the size 14 and how did you like it? we have the exact size and shape wrist, lucky us hehe 😅. i'm hesitated to order the size 14 because i'm afraid it's too snug but I also don't want my JUS small to be able to rotate around my wrist freely. this is why i like buying bags because I don't need to think this hard when buying bags, once size fit all

[@KatL]

I got the size 15 for JUc and I could go with 14 Honestly. Coz it turns

I have the same issue about JUC size. They can do the smaller size for you like 13/14 but SA said the price will be 40-60% higher price. They don’t recommend.

I am not a millionaire but I am really wanting the Love and JUC bracelet in regular size. but i feel conflicted about wearing such expensive pieces all the time. Not sure if you are a millionaire, but do you or did you feel that way? together it is at least 15K. but they look so beautiful together. but I feel it would look too flashy and i won't feel comfortable wearing them out all the because of what people might say or think. 😣

[@KatL]

You don’t to be a millionaire to wear these pieces. If you own a car worth 50k , does it mean you are a millionaire? No right? If it feels right for you, when the time is right, I think you can enjoy these pieces no matter your financial status

[@rosya.traveler4269]
