If you’re a loyal By Bonnie fan, this is your perfect starting point for planning gifts that will truly dazzle. Let’s make this holiday season unforgettable!

Category $500–$2,000

Alright, let’s dive into the $500 to $2,000 price category—where sparkle meets practicality! Let me just say, lab-grown diamond studs have been flying off the shelves this year, and for good reason. 

Earrings are hands-down the most misplaced jewelry item. You know the drill—caught in your hair, snagged on a shirt, or left behind on vacation. So why not gift something that’s both stunning and sensible?

On this side of my ear, I’m rocking a classic: 1-carat diamond studs. They’re such a timeless gift, perfect for every day. But if you’re looking for something smaller (or just starting out), 0.5-carat or 0.75-carat per ear are equally fabulous options. And of course, for those like me who live by the bigger, the better mantra—go bold with the largest size you can find!

Now, let’s talk about what’s on the other side of my ear—our show-stopping Marquise La Fleur diamond studs in the mini size. These have been a hot commodity! What’s trending right now is stacking them across multiple piercings for that chic, layered look. (I don’t have a full stack to show you here, but trust me, it’s a vibe!)

These minis, about a quarter-carat total weight, are perfect for gifting. Whether it’s their go-to everyday sparkle or their minimalist statement piece, they’ll adore it. Plus, they’re available in white, rose, and yellow gold, so you can match their style perfectly. 

Oh, and if you’re shopping for variety, we’ve got them in mini, small, medium, and large sizes. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with these beauties.

Lastly, we’ve got these mini diamond bangles that are super versatile. They’re flexible, stylish, and perfect for layering with your existing stack. Whether it’s your everyday wristwear or a statement look, these bangles are such a chic addition.

Category $2,000–$5,000

Now let’s move on to the $2,000 to $5,000 price range—where the sparkle really levels up! First up, we have the one and only…Tennis bracelets! 

These are the crown jewel of this price category— making them the ultimate must-have. Think of them as the little black dress of your jewelry wardrobe: timeless, versatile, and absolutely essential. A strand of diamonds on your wrist? It doesn’t get more classic than that. 

Next, we have dangle earrings—a timeless addition to your diamond wardrobe. 

We’ve done them in clean, minimalist designs with round or emerald-cut diamonds that let the stones speak for themselves. 

If you’re feeling adventurous, consider blue sapphires or other colored gems in a double-drop style. These earrings are the definition of elevated elegance, and the process to customize them is as seamless as can be. You’ll absolutely adore how they turn out!

Category $6,000–$10,000 (and up)

Let’s dive into the luxe $6,000 to $10,000 category—where we’re talking serious splurge-worthy sparkles!

eir vibe.

Next, we have eternity bands. If you know their ring size (hint: a little detective work may be required), this is the gift that blends romance with everyday wear. 

If rings feel too personal (or you’re unsure of the size), consider right-hand rings!

Whether it’s for your wife, mom, sister-in-law, or mother-in-law, an eternity band in a chunkier style or a delicate halo design will light up their holiday season.

You can also opt for a five-stone band

or even a seven-stone band.

These pieces are so versatile—perfect for celebrating anniversaries, milestones, or simply spreading holiday cheer. Plus, they’re stunning on their own or stacked for a bolder look.

And let’s not forget the channel-set diamond bangles we mentioned earlier! Whether in rose, white, or yellow gold, they’re a flawless addition to any bangle stack. Picture this paired with a Cartier Love Bangle—chef’s kiss!

Whatever you choose from this category, it’s all about making someone feel absolutely adored with a piece that’s as unforgettable as they are.

Holiday Shopping Tips

And you might be thinking, “Bonnie, it’s only November! Why are we talking about the holidays already?” Well, here’s the thing—fine jewelry, especially custom pieces, takes time. Perfection isn’t rushed, darling!

If you’re dreaming of something just right—designed to your preferences and crafted with care—planning ahead is key. For all my last-minute shoppers out there, sure, you can walk into a store a week before Christmas and grab something. But if you want that perfect piece that says, “I’ve been thinking about this for months,” you’ll want to start now.

Good news? I’ve got you covered! Every piece I mentioned today is linked below for easy shopping. Don’t forget to follow me on social media at By Bonnie Jewelry for more dazzling inspiration.
