cheap thrills

Have you been coveting the BaubleBar custom monogram necklace as much as I have? Welcome, this blog post is for you.

There is something so fun and polished about a good monogrammed item, whether it be jewelry, a tote bag, pajamas, or a classic sweater. Monograms signify that the item is yours, and no one else's. I have been eyeing up monogram necklaces for quite some time now, but I couldn't justify spending $145 on a necklace that I won't be wearing every day. However, I knew there were less expensive alternatives out there. When I want to find something at a decent price that is still unique, I turn to Etsy. The vendors on this site are always a joy to work with, and create one-of-a-kind pieces that are of good quality.

Although I was a little apprehensive to order a custom piece of jewelry for a mere $18.99 + shipping... I did it anyway. The result was surprisingly amazing!


I ordered the 1.25 inch gold plated monogrammed necklace with an 18 inch chain. I have to say, I was quite impressed with the craftsmanship and quick shipping! I received the item in about a week from the seller, which is impressive considering that it was a custom order. The necklace seems like it is very high quality for the price. My only reservation is that I wish the chain was a little bit thinner, and the monogram slightly smaller. But, I am happy with it for now, until I can afford the BaubleBar version. Notable: the chain is not adjustable, but simply has a lobster clasp and one loop.


For days when I don't feel like wearing a statement necklace, and I want something a little more polished, I throw on this item.


xoxo,
G
