Yes, yes, yes! We love diamonds here! This week’s blog is all about getting that perfect fit for your diamond tennis bracelet. Here’s the lineup:
Welcome back to another By Bonnie blog, where we talk all things diamonds! Let's get started, gorgeous!
Alright, before we dive into actually putting on this gorgeous tennis bracelet, let’s make sure we’ve got your sizing down perfectly. This is especially key when you’re buying online.
So, first thing’s first—you’ll need a soft measuring tape. It’s all about knowing exactly where you want the bracelet to sit, especially if you’re planning to stack it with other pieces. If you measure too close to your hand, it could end up too tight, or if it’s too loose, it’ll slide all over.
Here’s how you’ll do it: take the soft tape and wrap it around the part of your wrist where you want the bracelet to sit snugly. Right now, I’m wrapping mine around the slimmest part, and I’m getting 5.75 inches. A good rule of thumb? Add about half an inch to that measurement if you want it to be comfortably snug. If you like a bit more movement, go for three-quarters of an inch extra—but keep it below one inch so it doesn’t get too loose.
For example, with my 5.75-inch wrist, a 6.5-inch bracelet gives me just the right amount of drape. And that’s it! You’ve got your perfect bracelet size.
Alright, let’s dive into bracelet sizing! I’ve got a line-up of different sizes right here on my wrist to help you choose your perfect tennis bracelet.
When shopping, it’s super important to know the width of each bracelet, especially in millimeters, since that influences both the look and feel on your wrist. Here at By Bonnie, we’re all about that minimal-metal style—just diamonds, front and center!
Let’s break down the lineup: We’ve got a 5.25mm, a 4.5mm, and a more petite 3mm. Now, choosing the right size? It all depends on how you plan to wear it. For everyday sparkle, a lot of our clients lean toward the smaller widths, but hey, if you’re like me and love a little extra bling, go bold every day!
A quick diamond lesson for you: in jewelry terms, 100 points equal one carat.
So here’s the breakdown—our 5.25mm bracelet features stones with 50 points each (half a carat per stone).
The middle size is around 0.33 carats, or “33 points,” per stone.
And last but certainly not least, we have the 3mm bracelet that has 0.1 carat (or 10-point) diamonds.
If you’re into mixing it up, pair a tennis bracelet with a classic bangle—like the Cartier Love. The contrast keeps it from looking too dressy and adds a little edge. And if you love dainty, don’t miss my video showcasing even slimmer styles. Want more? Let me know, and I’ll bring you more videos and blogs, more styles, and maybe even more metals. Because more diamonds? Always.
Alright, let’s get into the how-to for putting on and taking off your tennis bracelet—because trust me, doing this right is key!
Our By Bonnie bracelets come with a seamless double-lock closure, so there’s a little more to it than your standard clasp.
Here's what you do: Start by finding the under lock. Gently pop that open; you’ll see a small piece release underneath.
Then, press the diamond lock—yes, our signature feature—and voilà, your bracelet is open!
To close it back up, just reverse: slide the under lock into place, wait for that satisfying click,
then close the safety lock for extra security.
Quick tip: To keep your bracelet looking pristine, take it off when you’re sleeping or doing anything too active. It’s all about preserving that gorgeous shape, so avoid putting weight on it when you can!
Hope this helps all of you gorgeous diamond lovers out there! And hey, you know my motto—the bigger the better! Which size are you loving most? Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram @ByBonnieJewelry, and I’ll see you in my next blog!
