Is the Cartier Juste Un Clou Bracelet worth the price?
The newest addition to my growing Cartier collection is the Juste un Clou bracelet. After owning this bracelet for over a year, I thought now would be the perfect time to give a review on this bracelet and if it's worth the price. In short, Yes, The Juste un Clou is worth the price because of its unique, elegant, understated design, it retains its value, it’s easy to style, and is one of the more discrete Cartier pieces.Â
Why the Cartier Juste un Clou bracelet is worth the price
The first reason why the Cartier Juste un Clou bracelet is worth the price is because of its chic and elegant design. Designed in the shape of a curved nail, this bracelet is both feminine, dainty, and powerful at the same time.Â
The Cartier Juste un Clou bracelet does a great job retaining its value overtime. Cartier is notorious for increasing their prices year after year and almost always the Juste un Clou bracelet is included in this price increase. With that being said, if you purchased the Juste un Clou bracelet 5 years ago you could sell it today for a profit.Â
The third reason why the Juste un Clou bracelet is often purchased is because it’s more afford and less recognizable than the Cartier Love bracelet. If you are looking for a more discrete Cartier bracelet than the Juste un Clou is perfect for you. When I was debating between purchasing the Cartier Love bracelet or the Juste un Clou bracelet first this was a major reason why I purchased the Juste un Clou first. Shop Juste un Clou jewelry

The Juste un Clou bracelet comes in several sizes, gold color, and additional options. This bracelet is available in a range of sizes from 14 to 21 cm depending on the size of your wrist. In terms of thickness there are 4 sizes available, the original, the small (which is the thin model) and the medium, and large model. The most popular model is the small size with paved diamonds around the nail head.Â

Many women, including myself tend to gravitate towards the original or small size while the men tend to purchase the medium and large (thicker) size Juste un Clou. However, I always tell people to purchase what they love and will wear, so if you want a certain size, then I’m a firm believer in buying exactly what you want. Shop Juste un Clou bracelets
