I'm completely 100% smitten with the Classic Pave Link Bracelet from J. Crew. I borrowed it from a friend a few weeks ago to dress up a casual outfit and it added the perfect touch of sparkle and trend to my look. Sadly, the J. Crew bracelet is $125 and out of my price range for a costume-y bauble. Isn't it so pretty?
I would be sad but then I found a gorgeous knock off from T Plus J Designs for...$25 less.
Not a GREAT discount but then add on a $10 off coupon for new customers and it starts to veer into steal(ish) territory. Then the angels sang from above and the online shopping gods decided to be extra kind because I found a good substitute from ILY Couture for...$49 on sale!
Here's the breakdown:
SPLURGE: J.Crew, $125 but no free shipping and doesn't ship until February 11, 2013;
STEAL(ish): T Plus J Designs, $100 plus $10 off coupon for new customers AND free shipping;
TOTAL STEAL: ILY Couture, $49 (half off regular price of $99).
Go forth and glimmer and gleam with a new gorgeous bracelet.
Love this post idea! Great one, Sara.

I have the J Crew one. I've had it for about 6 months. I LOVE it. I wear it all the time. I was able to rationalize the cost because I knew it was a timeless style. Right now, my cost per wear is down to about $1. That's pretty good, right? Plus, it's very Coco Chanel.

While very pretty, I really can't see paying the J Crew price for that bracelet. All of the costume jewelry I have purchased from them has broken within 6 months of moderate use. And... I am careful with my things.

It's probably too late, but I just stumbled across this one for $40 on Etsy, if you haven't made a purchase yet!
