If you’ve been checking out necklaces this summer, I know you’ve seen the statement necklace trend. I absolutely love it, its the perfect way to dress up a casual maxi dress or a plan tank or tee. Now this is not fact, but what I’ve concluded– J Crew started this craze with their amazing necklace that cost a small fortune. Take a look at it here. Since I wasn’t about to fork over $150, I was excited to find Blue Bird Bride and their similar Bubble Necklace. Not only is this necklace gorgeous, but its a fraction of the price! I would much rather get a necklace and maxi dress (or my entire outfit!) for the same price as the J Crew one.
Blue Bird Bride has a great selection of bold colors for these necklaces…
If this stunning necklace just isn’t your style or maybe too much, check out a few other fun pieces…
Diane from Blue Bird Bride sent me a fabulous Bubble necklace to review and enjoy this summer. I decided on the turquoise one because its just such a hot color this summer. I have a lot of coral and peach in my wardrobe and I knew it would compliment those pieces nicely. When my necklace arrived, I was shocked at the weight of it. I own one other statement necklace that is heavy, but this one really feels sturdy. I love that quality in any of my jewelry, because with my kids you never know how tough my pieces will need to be! Each stone has a nice shine to it and the color is really beautiful in person. I am also pleased with the quality chain and hardware used for this. It has a heavier chain link to it, which gives it a more expensive look.
Blue Bird Bride is giving away a Bubble Necklace to one lucky reader!

Hi, I'm 
















Honestly, I haven’t bought jewelry in a couple of years… but I do prefer unique and inexpensive jewelry.
I prefer shopping for unique pieces in more local shops, street fairs, Etsy, and Ebay.
I prefer smaller jewelry shops and unique ones!
I like costume jewlery
I prefer costume jewelry. Easy on the budget!

I prefer costume jewelry, I could by more stuff plus there’s a greater range.
I love costume jewlery it costs way less than real jewels and looks almost the same!
Most of my jewelry was given to me as a gift. I do get things on etsy, though.
Back in the days of getting engaged and married, I bought all my jewelry at the bg chains. Now I much prefer checking checking out unique boutiques for truly special one-of-a-kind items
i seldom buy for myself debbie jackson,

I prefer unique shops and costume jewelry!
I rarely buy jewelry in any mall. I love the Etsy sellers so if it isn’t something I can make myself I buy it there.
I do both. Costume jewelry designs have become so fabulous I’ve become hooked.
i love custom but its way too expensive I usually shop the cheaper stores at the mall
I prefer diamonds however I can’t afford them so I have to go with costume jewelry.
I prefer real…. but they are too $$$$$
I prefer shopping at outlet stores. Occasionally I’ll pick up a piece at the mall. And I LOVE finding items online or at flea markets.
Personally I way prefer buying costume jewellery. That way, accessorizing is way more fun! And I’d be terrified I’d love that expensive piece that I saved up for. Cheap and cheerful all the way!
I prefer handmade jewelry, so seldom buy expensive stuff….although i love it when my man does for me!
(not often though…we’re on a tight budget!)
I prefer costume jewellery. I love unique pieces also.
I have bought jewelry at both types of stores. Lately I have bought a few things from Etsy and like that they are unique and typically affordable items.
boutiques and unique shops…Fine Jewelry is for my husband to buy me
I lurve this necklace and would go amazingly with my chevron dress I got today!! *crosses fingers*
I love unique jewelry shops!

They’re always so overpriced! I love finding unique pieces
i actually really like the cheap stuff though sometime i go high class like j crew
I used to shop at the mall stores when I was younger, but since having kids, it’s costume jewelry all the way!
I prefer the unique costume jewelry! Though I won’t complain if something more fancy comes my way
