The Cartier Juste un Clou is one of the maison’s most iconic contemporary jewellery designs, transforming an ordinary nail into a symbol of unconventional luxury. Originally conceived in 1971 by Aldo Cipullo, the design embodies Cartier’s ability to turn an industrial object into an enduring fine-jewellery signature.
This rendition is the Juste un Clou Small Model (SM), crafted in 18K solid rose gold with diamonds set into the nail head and tip. Its slimmer proportions offer a refined interpretation of the original design, balancing everyday wearability with the unmistakable identity of Cartier.
The appeal of this particular Juste un Clou lies in its combination of solid rose gold, diamond accents and the delicate proportions of the Small Model.
Unlike the broader Classic JUC, the SM offers a more understated silhouette while retaining the collection’s distinctive nail-inspired design. The diamonds positioned at the head and tip introduce just enough brilliance without overpowering the bracelet’s clean architectural lines.
This example is a Size 15, best suited for wrists measuring approximately 14–15cm, making it especially appealing for collectors with smaller wrists.
Presented in beautifully mint condition, the bracelet also comes with its Cartier box and original 2023 certificate, offering documented provenance for a relatively recent piece.

The Juste un Clou SM with diamonds is one of our favourite Cartier bracelets for everyday wear. It has all the character of the original JUC, but in a slimmer, more delicate silhouette that feels particularly elegant on smaller wrists.
What we love about this configuration is how thoughtfully the diamonds are incorporated. Rather than covering the entire bracelet in stones, Cartier concentrates the brilliance at the nail head and tip, allowing the sculptural rose-gold design to remain the focal point.
For collectors who enjoy stacking, the SM sits beautifully alongside a Cartier LOVE Bracelet or other fine-jewellery pieces, while still being distinctive enough to wear alone.
At SGD 6,388, this beautifully mint 2023 example with Cartier box and certificate is a compelling choice for someone looking to acquire a modern Cartier icon in solid 18K rose gold with diamonds, particularly in the petite Size 15. Explore more Cartier Jewellery in Singapore
