Luh-uv!

So, I've been dying for one of these necklaces, but just could not ever fork out the dough for it.  Lately, I've been seeing friends on Facebook post links or likes to these very similar necklaces sold on Etsy or wherever have you.  But you never hear of anyone actually buying them, let alone hear about how they liked or disliked them.

So, thought I'd do my own personal review here, because, yes, I did buy one!  And yes, I love to share secrets (only the ones I'm supposed to) and good deals with my friends!

I bought mine here.  It's a vendor selling from Etsy who actually is from and ships from China.  The vendor actually received very many positive feedback and buyers seemed happy with their purchase.  They cost $18 + $6 shipping as compared to $150 plus shipping.  I thought, "Hhhhhmmm, for $24, what have I got to lose?"  Well, exactly $24.  That's worth the risk considering I've wanted one like only forever!

It took exactly 2 weeks and 2 days to ship from date of order.  Not bad for international shipping.  It arrived in a nice box and rolled in bubble wrap.  There was no damage, and I'm happy with that.  As you can see in the picture, they look decent.  They don't look cheap, but then again, I don't have an expensive one to compare it to.  I am happy with the appearance.

I put it on immediately and walked all over the house looking from mirror to mirror.  I LOVE IT--especially more because it only cost $24!  I even went to my neighbors house to watch her daughter with my pretty necklace on, even though my outfit was all kinds of crazy.  I didn't care!

Now for the negative side of my review.  Upon examination, and I did read this from another review for a different vendor, that the chain and clasp of the necklace they bought were plastic.  I didn't read such review from the vendor I bought this from.  Sure enough, it looks like my chain and and clasp is indeed plastic.  Insert sad face here.

But let's get real readers!  I paid $18 + $6 shipping.  You can't expect $150 quality for $24!

If it does happen to break, I will not be saddened, because I know that I can run over to Hobby Lobby (or any other craft store), whip out my handy dandy app with my 40-50% off coupons and voila!  Instant, easy, and inexpensive (future) repair!  As a matter of fact, I might just do that tomorrow.  Plastic chain and clasp breaking is inevitable!

There it is readers.  You decide if you want to buy one from here, or here.  What price are you going to pay for fashion?

Revised 2 minutes after post--
OMG Readers!  I take it back!  The chain IS NOT plastic after all!  Only the clasp!  Funny how I found out!  I took the necklace off, (yes, I finally did)  and set it down on top of my laptop with the necklace dangling over the side.  Well, the necklace part stuck on the magnet where the power plug goes into.  Sheesh!  After all that!  The darn thing is metal after all!  I'll just go buy a clasp tomorrow then!
