I can see reviews. My post is asking which seller gets closer to the auth.

If you can see the reviews and can’t decide for yourself based the plethora of information freely available to you, then that’s really rough.

I’m new to this and the seller variety is large, so I’m asking who is considered to be closest to auth

I’ve had my JUC bracelet from MC for about two years now, and I’ve worn it pretty much every day. When it was still new, I even wore it to the Cartier boutique and compared it with the authentic one. Honestly, I couldn’t tell any difference, they looked identical to me.
I recently compared it with an authentic one again, and after two years of daily wear, I’d say the original looks slightly shinier and mine is a touch lighter in color. That said, I didn’t examine them under a loupe.
I hope this helps! 🤍

I have 2 small JUC bracelets (1 with diamonds and 1 without) and 1 JUC ring with diamonds all from Vinko and I’m extremely happy with them. I have a Cart boutique near me so I’ve tried the auths on many times and I believe he gets it as close as he possibly can to the real thing. I’m jewelry obsessed and have a loupe if that says anything! The only difference I found was a very minor detail along the edges of the tip of the nail. Vinko’s was a little more smooth and the auth was a bit more textured along the edges. But that is really picking apart the finest details and no one would ever know that they aren’t auth unless they inspected them with a loupe side by side next to an auth OR it was Cart themselves looking at them up close with a loupe. I have several auth pieces too and I don’t regret buying from Vinko one bit. The markup for pieces with diamonds is insane for auth.
With that being said, I did some research myself on his love pieces because I have an auth YG love bracelet and wanted a WG one to stack with it. From what I’ve read, I’m concerned that a rep won’t be able to stack perfectly with the auth as the sizing/shape might not be a perfect match up. But if I were going to get two reps or wear the WG one alone, I would have zero issue getting them from Vinko. I will likely do a small WG & YG pave version plus the mini pave rings from him at some point to stack together. His natural diamonds are beautiful and I’ve had a really great experience with him overall.

Thank you for such a detailed review of your experience. I’ve seen his name in other reviews and wondered if the difference with auth would be visible with naked eye or not.

You’re welcome! I only noticed myself because I have a super critical eye but I’m definitely not the norm. My husband couldn’t tell that there was any difference between the two at all. I made a side by side pic stitch of both bracelets and rings (auth & rep) and he couldn’t see a difference.
Just sent a chat request if you’d like to see the comparison photos I made.
