By now, you're all familiar with the super popular J.Crew bubble necklace:
But for a whopping $150, I never envisioned justifying the price tag.
Then an amazing thing happened.
Katie, from Keep Calm and Carry On, blogged about finding a knock-off on Ebay...for not half off, or even 75% off...try $15. Yep...you heard me right. $15!!! And according to her review, it was actually well made and looked almost identical! Well, for $15, I was willing to go for it. And believe me, I'm not very trusting of Ebay at all. Especially when it comes all the way from China {interesting side note...the necklace was shipped from Shenzhen, China, which is where one of my very best friends is living right now! How ironic and serendipitous is that?!}.
It finally came this past Monday...and I have to say, I LOVE it!
It's a great size and color and I am already having a blast putting all the pairing possibilities together!
In fact, I'm kicking myself for not buying it in more colors!
You can buy your very own here.
And because this little beauty came too late to take with my maternity photos...I did a little impromptu shoot in my backyard.
The real photos will be MUCH better...promise! ;)
Hope you're having a great Thursday!

You look gorgeous! I'm still waiting on my necklace to arrive! We will all have to link up our posts about it!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! It looks EXACTLY like the real thing (sadly it may be the real thing and J. Crew just charges so much for it.) Love it with your white dress and cute belly. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your outfits with the new necklace...you had me at $15! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing about this!! I seriously need to get on it, it looks great on you! And the last photo, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI got mine from Ebay too - same color! I love it with the white maxi outfit :)
ReplyDeletehaha aw thanks for the shoutout! :) It looks wonderful on you esp in that white outfit...so cute! glad you love it.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful and that necklace is gorgeous. Going on Ebay now!
ReplyDeleteAhh I saw this necklace on Katie's blog awhile ago and I have been meaning to order it...so glad to hear another great review of it!! It's so stunning! I'm definitely going to order now! :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, what color to pick!!! So many great options!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see the rest of the shoot! LOOOOVE the necklace!
ReplyDeleteI just posted about this same deal yesterday and I'm currently waiting for mine to arrive!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you love it and approve because I was pretty worried when I saw the China shipping label as well.
You are most certainly wearing it well :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty necklace. Is it heavy... I can't wear heavy necklaces. It looks gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I bought this same necklace from the same deal on eBay just a few days ago! I thought... $15... I could take a risk on that! :) It looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteI got mine in the mail the same day you did- LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteWe are necklace twinsies!!! I absolutely *love* eBay...we're like besties (c: There are now a lot of words ending in -ies on this, so I better end it now (c:
ReplyDeleteI ordered it too but it has not arrived! SO glad to hear it's actually really nice and it looks so cute on you.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad that I am wearing a knock off but Jcrew needs to simmer down with $150 necklaces...

i have seriously been doubting buying one of those off ebay but you have convinced me! i lOVE it in yellow!! and it looks so good on you with your belly :D
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I am hopping on Ebay right now!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny because I bought a yellow one on ebay for $15 literally 2 days ago!! And it's also coming from China...I wonder if it's the same seller? Regardless, I'm super excited! Yours looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love these pics of you. You look fabulous
ReplyDeleteLook at you momma! You know how to rock a maxi! I love that necklace, and wear it way too much in the Summer. Even though mine is from H&M, I swear they are identical!
ReplyDeletelooks SO great on you!! Love the 2 outfit pairs with it already! Can't wait to see the pics from your maternity shoot! :)
ReplyDeleteWe need to talk about how gorgeous you look! OMG Natasha! And I Love that dress! Where did you get it? My cousin is pregnant and is looking for stylish and comfy maxi dresses.
ReplyDeleteWhat a STEAL and YOU look adorable! Seriously - cutest pregnant lady every! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw this same post on Ebay and was too afraid to try it from China. Good to know its not a scam:)
ReplyDelete~Heather
love that necklace natasha! what a great color you picked and the outfits you paired it with. you are such a cute pregnant lady
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing up the same ones from ebay! Glad you approve! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI bought one also on ebay--and I LOVE it. I definitely wear it a lot. :) You look adorable in that white outfit....you are tiny!! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous on you!! I got mine for around $40 at the outlet, and then once i blogged about it I heard about them on eBay. Such a steal, I might get more!! :)
ReplyDeleteI started looking into those when Katie mentioned it. Now seeing it on you I may HAVE to get it. So cute.
ReplyDeleteI think your pic in the back yard is fabulous! You look fantastic. I've heard a couple other ladies talking about this knock off. Not bad for $15!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen this necklace every where! Love it and the little makeshift photo shoot.
ReplyDeletewow, love it!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! And I love that necklace and the pricetag!
ReplyDeleteI just bought the same necklace on eBay yesterday! I'm (not so) impatiently waiting for it to arrive!
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing but my necklace came with a broken link :( Maybe I'll try again and hope for better luck next time.
ReplyDeleteYou look flippin amazing! I'm so glad to hear you liked it because I ordered one a couple of days ago and was worrying it would look bad when it showed up.
ReplyDeleteUmmm....LOVE IT!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, too funny, I ordered mine at the beginning of this week! But in the coral...hope it's as cute as yours!! You look amazing, btw!!
ReplyDeleteInsane! I wouldn't be surprised if those are "leftovers" from J.Crew or those that didn't pass quality or whatever standards. I have never bought anything on ebay before, but I think this deserves the first time right? Gorgeous! And you're looking gorgeous too!
ReplyDeletei'm glad to hear you liked yours; i ordered the yellow one off of ebay and cant wait to get it!
ReplyDeleteHa! I bought mine last year off eBay as well, in the same color!
ReplyDeleteI ordered one last week. I can't wait to get it! Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo!! I'm still thinking about purchasing...it's just a little larger than I'm used to. Maybe I'll just grab one anyway!
ReplyDeleteOk you sold me on it, going to order! You look amazing in your white dress! All belly my friend! Can't wait to see the real pictures!
ReplyDeletei love the white on white monochromatic look with a big pop of color! you look fab btw!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny I was cruising ebay a few weeks ago and came across that seller. Wasn't sure if I could trust them since they had some bad reviews about the quality. I actually bought the necklace you're wearing from the J. Crew outlet for around $40.
ReplyDeleteYou look great and wearing your pregnancy well!
What a great find!! I may have to do some eBay scoping myself!
ReplyDeleteyou like GORG in that pic with the white tank and necklace! what a cute preg lady you are!
ReplyDeleteOkay - I broke down and purchased the necklace today!
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take for yours to arrive?
Once it gets here will have to do a big blogger necklace link up!
I must be the only one who hated mine from ebay! It was such terrible quality and just looked like junk. I was so sad!
