After weeks of silent anticipation, I finally received my J.Crew Bubble Necklace in the mail! Dance of joy and hoots 'n hollers arise!
I have been coveting this necklace from afar for many months only to be completely thwacked across the head when I looked up the price: one-hundred and seventy-four dollars?
'That can't be right,' I thought to myself.
And then, 'But so many bloggers have this necklace...'
'...how can they afford this necklace? ....and in multiple colours?!'
Well my friends, enter eBay. A great tip shared to me by Mara and I was on my way to not one, but two J.Crew Bubble Necklaces. I used seller Bisource who are based out of China. The shipping took forever (about five weeks to Canada) but the customer service was great, speedy and they provided a tracking number, which was nice. The only problem was trying to decide which colours to get! I might have to purchase one or two more (pink/peach and white perhaps? Or maybe black...) in the future.
Happy shopping!

Gorgeous! I need this necklace now :)
Ohh! I have been wanting this necklace but could never afford it. What is the quality like of the necklace from China?
It's gorgeous!
I know I can't bring myself to spending that kind of money on fashion jewellry either. I just ordered a different JCrew necklace and bracelet dupe from ebay too. I used the seller "sinoshopping" and the shipping only took about 3 weeks, I think.
I read another blogger who got almost the same exact necklace but in turqouise and she found it at H&M.
omg NICE job! I love ebay! The necklace is REALLY cute, hoorah to you!
I also have a knockoff version. $150+ is way too much for a piece of costume jewelry but who can resist a good knockoff? ;)
There's also an Etsy shop that makes them for 1/3 of the price of the J. Crew ones! I just discovered it the other day! Here's the link:
