You all went absolutely wild for this bangle the first time around, and guess what? We’re back because you asked for it! "Bonnie, can you make a smaller, daintier version?" Of course, I did! And let me tell you, I’m beyond excited to show you both the original wider version and the new petite version. I can’t wait for you to see how stunning they look side by side.
Welcome back to another By Bonnie blog, where we dive into all things diamonds and dreamy designs! And okay, I have to mention something—you might have spotted a little extra sparkle on my finger recently (if you’ve been keeping up with my Instagram, you already know what I’m talking about).
Yes, something very exciting happened not too long ago, and this is my first blog since it happened. I can’t stop smiling—I’m sure you can see it on my face!
But focus, Bonnie! Today is all about this bangle, and if you’ve seen it lighting up your social feeds, you already know it’s a showstopper. Let’s break it down and see why this is the must-have piece for your wrist stack!
You asked, and I delivered! Yes, we made a petite version of our iconic channel-set bangle by very popular demand. When this bangle first launched, it sent our clients on a total roller coaster ride—everyone was obsessed! So naturally, I had to create a daintier version for all of you who love a more subtle stack. And let me tell you, the petite version is just as stunning as the original.
Let’s dive into the details! First off, the mechanism—it’s the same seamless, secure closure we talked about in my last video. If you missed it, go check it out because this clasp is a game-changer. Now, back to the bangle. Here it is—oh my gosh—the petite version in all its sparkling glory. If you’re already in love with the original, this one is going to steal your heart.
And yes, I’ll be comparing all the deets between the two today. But quick disclaimer: don’t let my ring distract you! (I know, it’s hard—I’m obsessed too.) You’re going to be seeing a lot of it in the future, so stay tuned for more on that.
Now, about this petite bangle—it’s incredibly comfortable. So many of you have asked for a sleek option to pair with your Cartier Love Bangle, and this is it. It’s snug, smooth, and won’t snag on anything. Seriously, this might be the perfect addition to your everyday wrist stack. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
Let’s break it down and get into the details because I know how much you love a good comparison. Last time, we focused mostly on the diamond sizes for the original bangle, so this time, let’s get super specific and compare everything side-by-side, shall we?
For the OG bangle, we used 30-point diamonds—that’s a third of a carat each. (Quick diamond 101: 100 points equal 1 carat, so 30 points = 0.30 carats. You're welcome!) Now, for the petite version, we scaled it down to 20-point diamonds. Initially, I considered going even smaller with 15 points, but I just felt like it wouldn’t give the same visual wow factor. I wanted something dainty, yes, but also with enough sparkle to really show off those diamonds. And, well, mission accomplished! ✨
Now, let’s talk measurements. The original bangle has a top width of about 5.6mm, while the petite version is around 4mm—so you’re getting that slimmer, sleeker look without sacrificing shine. And weight? The OG weighs in at over 30 grams of solid 18k gold, while the petite version is just over 20 grams. It’s got that perfectly lightweight feel but still feels substantial and luxe on your wrist.
If you’re worried about whether the petite version is “too light,” don’t be—it’s honestly the perfect balance. I personally love how comfortable it is, and it still gives you all the sparkle and shine you’d expect from a By Bonnie piece.
So, which one is calling your name? The bold OG or the elegant petite? Either way, you can’t go wrong!
To me, this petite bangle is chef’s kiss—just the perfect amount of sparkle for your everyday look. No matter what kind of engagement ring you’re rocking, this piece effortlessly complements it.
Speaking of pairing, I’ve just stacked it with an oval gold solitaire (which, by the way, has been the engagement ring trend for the past couple of years). Can we take a moment to appreciate how seamless and elegant this combo is? The smooth channel-set diamonds on the bangle give it such a refined vibe, and the oval shape? Perfection. Not only is it super comfortable, but it’s also practical. No banging on desks or snagging on your sweaters—it’s tailored brilliance, literally.
That’s another thing I love—these bangles are fully customizable to fit your wrist size. A tailored fit makes all the difference when it comes to comfort and style. And it’s versatile! Stack it with diamond bracelets, mix in some plain gold bangles, or wear it solo as your go-to staple. This petite bangle is truly a wardrobe essential—timeless, wearable, and oh-so-gorgeous.
What do you think of the mini version? I’m absolutely obsessed, but you already knew that. Oh, and should we do this in rose gold or white gold next? Let me know what you think—and what other dreamy diamond designs you’d love to see. Until next time, stay sparkly!
