I Made a SUPER HEAVY Diamond With 18k Gold Bangle

Is a happy dance something that exists? Because when I finally got to construct the item I have been lusting over for ages, that is precisely how I felt. Let me show you this incredibly beautiful bracelet. It is really amazing, and I can not wait to tell you all the specifics.

Having worked in the field for a while, I have a serious soft spot for traditional designs. You already know that I am all about classic elegance and making investments in things that will last a lifetime, even though there are a lot of Instagram-worthy delicate and current pieces available. So, the classic charm is the focal point of today's bracelet. Welcome back to another blog post from By Bonnie, where we discuss everything about diamonds!

Amazing Diamond And Yellow Gold Bangle

I’ve heard so many of you asking for bangles and bracelets, and I’m beyond excited to finally showcase this piece. 

But allow me to give you a little background information before I get into all the delicious facts. It is time for Bonnie to have some "Story Time"! I received an email from one of my unique clients; she is so special and one of a kind  that I have not even had the opportunity to speak with her over the phone! Her taste is amazing and she wanted something even better than what she had seen! And what do you know? That is how this gorgeous bracelet was created. She puts her trust in me to make things that she would like for herself, and I am excited to realize her vision. I am excited for you to see this, as it is one of my best creations.

Why A Channel Setting On A Bangle Is Great

Alright, let’s talk about why I’m so obsessed with channel setting for bangles! I have another bangle I want to show you. 

This one is a prong-set bangle, and while I do appreciate the classic look of prongs, they can sometimes snag on clothing. It’s not a huge issue for me, but it's definitely something to consider. Plus, it matches my emerald cut band perfectly!

Now, this new bangle I’m sharing? It’s a game-changer for stacking. The channel setting is just ideal for a seamless, snag-free experience. It’s all about that sleek, no-metal look—making it perfect for layering with other pieces.

Why An Oval Shaped Bangle Is The Best Choice

This bangle is oval-shaped, and let me tell you, it’s a total game-changer! I recommend this shape for everyone because, unlike a round or circular bangle, it fits more naturally on your arm. You won’t find it getting in the way or bumping into everything you do. It’s such a smart design choice for everyday wear!

The Importance Of Craftsmanship When Buying Jewelry

If you’re wondering why people reach out to me for something like this, it’s all about the craftsmanship! Sure, you can Google channel set bangles, but you won’t find one quite like this. 

This piece is solid—over 30 grams of 18-karat gold! And with 30 points of diamonds, that’s a third of a carat, making it both luxurious and timeless.

Custom Hinge With Diamond Lock

Check out this custom hinge with a diamond lock—one of my signature details! I know it might seem like a small thing, but trust me, the hinge is everything when it comes to bangles. Traditional designs often have visible hinges that look a bit like little tongues sticking out, but here, it’s all about seamless elegance. 

Look at how this locks in perfectly, with a double-lock mechanism for added safety. It’s smooth and completely flush, so you feel nothing on the side—just pure, flawless design. 

This bangle is not only stunning but also practical. It’s perfect for stacking, wearing every day, and the large, gorgeous stones make it a true standout. If you’re looking for a must-have piece in your wardrobe, this is it!

5.5ct Round Diamond Yellow Gold Channel Set Bangle

Here’s a little tip for you: when shopping for a bangle, pay attention to the details. I know some people prefer the hefty, luxurious feel — like with a Cartier Love bangle, which is also over 30g of gold and feels incredibly sturdy. Others might lean towards a lighter, hollow design. Both options have their perks, so there's definitely something for everyone!

For my part, I think this bracelet is fantastic. I would want to have one to twin with my clients; it is something I have always wanted! Although the 18k yellow gold is stunning and elegant, 14k gold would be equally lovely and somewhat more subdued if you would want something lighter.

I am so grateful to my client for allowing me to use my creativity in designing this item. Here's where I really shine; if you trust your jeweler and designer, the result will be something truly gorgeous. I am dedicating this blog to you!
