Closure Mechanism

Curious on how to open and lock hour Juste un  lou bracelet because the design is so sleek and does not have any visible clasps or screws. Small and classic size has a huge difference when wearing it. The Aldo design on closure retained in the classic size while the small size has no closure mechanism at all. Here’s a picture comparisom for your
reference:

Meanwhile, Juste Un Clou bracelets prior to 2017 have a different closure mechanism. The previous version has a push-lock clasp that hooks onto the band.The biggest difference of the new closure is the new "button" clasp underneath the nail head. When pushed, the button opens the bracelet. Here's the step by step procedure on opening and closing the new version of Juste un Clou:

 - Find the head of the nail
 - Press for a small clasp underneath
 - Position your thumb on the nailhead and your finger underneath the ridged part
 - Push down gently on the clasp and push away the nailhead from the rest of the bracelet
 - Push both ends of the bracelet together to lock closed. You will hear a 'click' sound.

Even though its design appears to be straightforward, the Juste un Clou collection radiates a sense of boldness, uniqueness, and contemporaneity. The collection includes bracelets, rings, necklace, earrings, pin and other items. Design-wise, all of the items are uniform throughout the line, but each one has its own interpretation of the nail silhouette.
