Pre-Loved Cartier Juste un Clou

Why the Juste un Clou is iconic

Cartier's Aldo Cipullo designed the Juste un Clou in 1971, reimagining an ordinary nail as a luxury bangle and ring, part of a wider 1970s movement toward industrial-inspired jewellery. Its bent-nail silhouette, with a textured head and pointed tip, has remained largely unchanged since its reissue in 2012.

What to pay pre-owned

Pre-owned UK prices typically fall between roughly £2,400 and £6,200, centred near £4,000 for a small or medium bangle in 18ct yellow gold. Heavier gauge models, rose or white gold, and pieces with diamonds sit above this range; thinner small-model bangles or those with visible plating wear on any accompanying pieces trade lower.

Sizes & variants

Available as a hinged or full bangle, ring and earrings, in small, medium and large sizes, in yellow, white or rose gold, plain or diamond-set.
