How much is your Juste un Clou Cartier worth in 2026?
Resale range
4 550 € — 7 150 €
In 2026, a Juste un Clou in 18-carat yellow gold commands between £3,800 and £5,980 on the secondary market, against a boutique retail price of approximately £4,680. Rose gold and white gold versions command similar values. Diamond-set versions achieve significantly higher premiums.
Juste un Clou
The Juste un Clou was created in 1971 by Aldo Cipullo — the same designer as the Love Bracelet. Its concept: transforming an everyday object — a nail — into a luxury jewel in 18-carat gold. Rebellious, minimalist, and immediately recognisable.
With its clean nail-bent-upon-itself form, the Juste un Clou embodies rebellious, minimalist luxury. More discreet than the Love yet equally recognisable, it experienced a strong resurgence in the 2010s and has become a permanent Cartier bestseller.
How to authenticate a Juste un Clou Cartier
Authentication of the Juste un Clou begins with the 750 hallmark (18-carat gold), the Cartier signature engraved inside, and the unique serial number. These must all be present, clean, and precisely struck.
The precise weight of the bracelet (variable by size, between 18 and 25 grams for the classic version) is an important authentication element. The red Cartier box and authenticity certificate are essential. The nail tip must be perfectly rounded and smooth, without any sharp edges.
The most coveted versions
Yellow gold Juste un Clou is the most liquid. The rose gold version is very fashionable. The Small Model (SM) is more discreet. Diamond-set versions achieve the highest values.

Selling your Juste un Clou Cartier — frequently asked questions
Juste un Clou or Love Bracelet — which to choose?
The Love is the most classic and most liquid at resale, with a stable value. The Juste un Clou is more discreet and more modern, with a more volatile but growing value. Both are excellent jewellery investments.
Does the Juste un Clou close without a screwdriver?
Yes, unlike the Love, the Juste un Clou closes by simple elastic pressure of the 18-carat gold. More practical for everyday wear. The closure must be decisive and clean; a Juste un Clou that does not spring back to shape properly has likely been damaged.
Which Juste un Clou size to choose?
The standard format is the most versatile and most liquid. The SM (Small Model) is more delicate and more fashionable. The LM (Large Model) is more of a statement and a collector's piece. The standard remains the safest choice for resale.
Does the diamond-set Juste un Clou resell well?
Yes, but its liquidity depends on the number and quality of the diamonds. Fully diamond-set versions can reach £12,500 to £20,900 at resale, with a longer sale time than the plain metal versions.
How long does it take to sell a Juste un Clou through HAUTANE?
In consignment, expect 7 to 14 days for a yellow or rose gold Juste un Clou in excellent condition with a full set. Diamond versions may take 14 to 28 days. Immediate buyback with payment within 48 hours.
