Cartier Juste un Clou Ring Yellow Gold

This Juste un Clou ring is the small model, 1.80mm in width, the nail motif Aldo Cipullo designed for Cartier in 1971 scaled down into a band that wraps the finger with the nail's head and point still visible where the curve completes. Yellow gold is the metal the design originally launched in, and remains the most widely produced option across the reissued Juste un Clou line.

Where the bracelet version of Juste un Clou reads as a clear statement piece on the wrist, the ring is subtler, the nail detailing visible up close but reading as a simple curved band from a distance. It is frequently worn stacked with a Love ring or on its own, and the narrow width makes it suited to being worn on a smaller finger or paired with other rings without adding bulk.

Because the nail motif is scaled down significantly on the ring compared to the bracelet, the detailing at the head and point of the nail requires close inspection to confirm sharpness and wear, something Clutch checks directly on each individual piece before it is listed. The small width has become one of the more requested Juste un Clou sizes specifically because it stacks easily against a Love ring without either piece overwhelming the other.

Clutch sources this ring new and pre-owned, and documents gold weight, nail-head condition and band shape on the specific piece before it is listed. Every item is independently authenticated through Legit Grails ahead of any sale, not graded in-house, with original box and paperwork carried through where the piece came with it.
