How to spot a fake Cartier JUC bracelet

You can spot a fake Cartier Juste Un Clou bracelet by looking at the stamping on the interior side. Fakes never use the same font as original Cartier bracelets!

1. Engraving

1.1. Comparison

Let’s take the flaws on the fake one by one:

1. Copyright ® spacing
   • Fake: The symbol is too close to the “Cartier” logo.
   • Authentic: There is way more space between the symbols.
2. Size inscription
   • Fake: Number “1” uses a different font and the top leg is too long.
   • Authentic: The top leg of the “1” is shorter than on the fake.
3. Product Code
   • Fake: The inscription is too thin. Doesn’t fit deep enough into the metal.
   • Authentic: The text is thicker, as it fits way deeper into the metal.

All authentic Cartier Juste Un Clou bracelets have different product codes.

Helpfulness: If you see two supposedly authentic bracelets with the same ID, one of them is 99% fake.

No product codes overlap throughout authentic Juste Un Clou bracelets.

1.2. Fake example

Let’s now look at a lower-quality replica example:

• All of the inscriptions are too thick.
• Notice how the text sinks after the “17” inscription.
• Hence, the fake text leans too much to the right.

2. Форма

• Подделка: The bracelet looks like a perfect circle.
• Аутентичный: It looks like an oval instead of a perfectly round circle.

The Juste Un Clou bracelet is supposed to fit nicely around your wrist instead of being a bumpy circle.

Let’s have a more detailed look:

• Подделка: The red circle shows you how the bracelet is perfectly round.
• Аутентичный: The green one highlights the oval shape.

3. Shininess

Мы будем использовать Yellow Gold bracelet for this example.

However, this tell works for Rose Gold & White Gold bracelets as well.

• Подделка: Not enough light is being reflected.
• Аутентичный: More powerful and shiny when light lands on the bracelet.

When light touches your Juste Un Clou bracelet, the gold should reflect it in a powerful way, like in original the example above.

4. Diamond

If diamonds seem to be real, that doesn’t mean the whole bracelet is 100% authentic.

Importantly, you have to remember that there are replicas using genuine diamonds.

4.1. Weight

• Аутентичный: The diamond + gold combination must feel somewhat heavy.
• Подделка: Some bracelets are too light if replica manufacturers don’t use genuine diamonds.

4.2. Placement

• Аутентичный: The arrangement of the diamond pattern seems to be uniform.
• Подделка: There is too much space between each diamond.

On some replicas, diamonds will fall off the bracelet throughout time.

All authentic diamonds will forever stay in place unless they are removed on purpose

4.3. Nailhead

• Аутентичный: There have to be 5 diamonds on the nail head.
• Подделка: Best-quality replicas have the right amount.

However, some replicas don’t have enough diamonds on the nail head.

Others can also have too many diamonds.

4.4. Scratch test

• Аутентичный: Real Cartier diamonds never scratch.
• Подделка: Low-quality diamonds may get scratched in time.

Older authentic bracelets may get scratched due to wear in time.

Hence, keep in mind that the scratch test isn’t always reliable.

That’s why we’ve ranked it last in the Diamonds step.

Now, let’s move on to the 5th step!

5. Nailhead

• Подделка: The bottom-left side is too curvy. It doesn’t look like a perfect circle.
• Аутентичный: Notice how it is a perfectly round circle.

6. Certificate

All authentic Cartier products come with an Authenticity Certificate.

At Legit Check, we also provide Certificates of Authenticity. This works great especially if you’re buying a second-hand bracelet that lacks the original certificate.

This works if you’ve paid through PayPal or via credit card.

6.1. Comparison

6.1. Spacing

• Подделка: There is no space between the text. It looks like it spells “authenticCartier”.
• Аутентичный: There is enough space between the words: “authentic Cartier”.

6.2. Stamp

• Подделка: The stamp + text are too thick.
• Аутентичный: All inscriptions are thinner.

6.2. Authentic examples

Above are two other authentic examples of Cartier Certificates of Authenticity.
