I’ve been eyeing the Juste for a while now but my sweet husband surprised me by taking me this weekend. We were trying to decide between the Love and the Juste but once I tried the Juste on, we both agreed it was me! (The flowers were a gift from Cartier too).
Not mine, but trying on watches for the wishlist…
For context, I have large wrists and wear 18cm Love bangle
New rose gold + diamond bezel Balon Bleu, size 33 - which was the perfect size!
so pretty! BUT I find their RG very coppery and less flattering than Tiffany’s alloy to be honest. Granted my skin looks particular pale and pink in the store lighting…
Stainless steel versions…I like the plain stainless steel best. I hoped they had the 2-tone rose gold and stainless steel, or the rose gold with the brown leather strap, but they didn’t…so they gave me a catalogue!
Panthere in Large - I really fell in love! I tried on the Tank as well but didn’t like it well enough to take pics
It's a day for orchids!
This ring just never gets old. I love mine as much as I did when I first got it. I wear it the same way that you do, onyx facing outward! Only mine’s sized for my second finger rather than ring. 
Bling is the best celebration though!!
Congrats @Paisley2628!!
I'm still working on my more-than-twelve
It's a day for orchids!
Nope not sold!! I did think about rehoming it once, but then I came to my senses
When I wear it I stack a skinny diamond bangle on top (closer to elbow) to mask the forearm muffin. Works great.

This one’s a bucket list piece for me. I love that I have it, and I really enjoy taking it out to look at and admire (I do this fairly frequently LOL), and I wear it occasionally. But I only wear it occasionally. Couple reasons for that -
1. The bangles are totally round. Not oval. So they protrude a lot more - they don’t conform to the wrist or lower forearm shape the way oval bangles do. If that makes any sense?
And a followup to #1 - the "rolling" action that's so lovely and buttery in the rings is equally efficient and buttery in the bangles... But most people's forearms are pretty fleshy, and a trio of reasonably heavy bangles very-efficiently rolling up one's forearm creates forearm muffin like I've never before experienced
2. The clanging! OMG. The three bangles clink and clang and click and jingle and jangle and… I don’t know why or how but they’re seriously *so* much louder than any of my other bangles stacked (which do also move against each other). My Trinity is the original with thicker (heavier) bangles - I wonder if the lighter Trinity is less loud?
So I guess my biggest question would be what your noisy arm tolerance is like
In all seriousness though. I don't know how visually appealing and comfy the bangle shape difference would be IRL. But if you love the idea it doesn't hurt to try on!

Congratulations on your achievement and very happy belated celebration
Thank you so very much. And I’m so glad you like the choice for the Alhambra over the rose Ecrou!Ah! I was just thinking in the other thread that I didn’t recall your JUC
I like the plain Ecrou better too. And “yes” to having it plated so it matches everything else you’ve got going on! It’ll be worth the wait. And another “yes” to leaving the RG behind, I like your Alhambra much more, independently and in your stack!
I’m very lucky to have a few beautiful Cartier pieces, all in rose gold.

Small Love
JUC diamond necklace (can be worn with diamond side showing or the plain side)
Y’all ready for a smorgasbord of Cartier photos?
These are all things I tried and did not purchase. It was a wonderful and educational experience!
First up, medium Clash in white gold. I thought I would love love love this piece. And if I were after it to wear alone I would. It has movement and is truly fascinating and beautifully made. I love the almost punk aesthetic. I did try it in the rose/yellow gold but it is truly a unique color and did not suit my pinkish skin tone so I didn’t even take a photo.

What I found with it with sizing is that the size I liked was an 18. Nice movement and feel on my arm. 17 was just a little too close. However, 18 overlapped my VCA signature perlee in a way that I would not have been comfortable with. And 17 was not going to be comfortable.
18 in other Cartier is a perfect fit with VCA large, btw (I’m talking JUC and Ecrou).
