Make a Statement, But Not on Your Bank One

I've been crazy about statement necklaces for almost a year now.  They cost a pretty penny, though.  If you buy from J. Crew, they're $125.  If you buy from Francesca's, they're $36.  And nothing is real gold anyhow.  It's rather a rip off, if you think about it.

So it's time to improvise.  And shop around.  And buy from China, if we have to.  After all, most things come from there anyhow, so why not buy direct?

For just $5 + $4 shipping, I got this pretty lemon yellow bling from a girl in Hong Kong, and she enclosed free earrings just because she's nice.  How awesome is that?!
