1. Set the carat weight
Total carat weight drives both the look and the price. At 3ct on a 7-inch line each stone is roughly 2.4mm — refined, easy to wear beside a watch. At 5ct stones grow to about 3.2mm and the bracelet reads as a solid ribbon of light. Above 6ct, expect a bolder, more formal piece with noticeable weight on the wrist.
