Do you get caught up in jewelry trends?
I’m a bit of a holdout when it comes to trendy jewelry. I’m only now considering getting a YSL Arty ring and got my first J. Crew bubble necklace last weekend (note: the J. Crew outlets can be awesome and the entire store at Las America San Diego was 50% off!!!) I bought the white version not because it was the hot necklace du jour, but because I think it is a versatile piece that instantly dresses up an outfit.
The bubble necklace is definitely a fun, easy to wear statement necklace and it was only a matter of time before this jewelry piece would inspire similar designs at other price points.
I just discovered Veryjane (it seems to be a flash sale site for smaller merchants that are usually on Etsy) which is now offering the Greenish shop version of the bubble necklace for under $10. I was very tempted to get a version in mint though that color sold out. What do you think? Would you be savvy or splurge (though now the splurge version is also under $50!)
Bubble necklace, J. Crew. $150 (sold out now)
Panacea bubble bib necklace, Neiman Marcus, $45
Mini Bubble necklace, Greenish shop on Veryjane, $7.99 from $26.99
I LOVE the color of the Bubble Necklace from J. Crew! 🙂
With bubble necklaces, I would definitely purchase a cheaper version because I don’t think it’s a trend that will last long. Great post!
You should buy quality that you love, not let trends dictate how long you will wear it 😉
Well said Letitia! I am most definitely willing to pay for quality pieces. I made the mistake of buying a lot of random pieces when I was younger because those pieces were affordable and trendy. Now I try to be selective about what I buy, regardless of price.
At that price, I would probably go for the “splurge”, but I do think there are some great copies as well. I still don’t have a bubble necklace, but need to change that soon!
I love the green necklace, I am usually not one for jewellery so I would not splurge because I know I would only wear something 2 or 3 times. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your fashion opinions with me 🙂
Love the bubble necklaces! I have three. Eep!
I really want to like these necklaces but for some reason I don’t. If I was to get one I’d be savvy about it!
I do like the blue necklace!
Love this post! I am a sucker for anything mint (hence the colors of Lillie Magazine!) but I think statement jewelry in of itself is timeless and I’m so excited you found that Etsy version because I never heard of Veryjane 🙂
Love the saavy one the best 🙂 x
