Special Note: I love Etsy. I think Etsy is a wonderful place that supports artists and I have often featured artists and original shop owners on the blog. The Etsy shops that I feature in this post are wholesale vendors from China, not artisans! Some of my readers have been disappointed that I featured these shops and I have considered their feedback thoughtfully and will be more sensitive in the future. xo

It is $98 at J. Crew. That isn't a crazy price or anything but I began searching for copy cats and discovered so many options for J.Crew inspired jewelry at a fraction of the price.
If you like these pave link bracelets you can find several less expensive versions on etsy.
More J.Crew inspired Jewelry:
It is pretty incredible how many almost identical necklaces you can find on Etsy for so cheap!
Here is the copy cat version of the venus flytrap necklace:
Only $26!!! + $6 shipping or $3 shipping if you buy a 2nd item.
Available at Lou Xinyan's Etsy shop. Or - if you want the real deal, try Ebay because they have buy it now prices that are less than the J.Crew price.
Love them all ! It feels silly to pay full price sometimes !

Crappy, cheaply made in China knock offs are all you are going to find on Etsy.
ReplyDeleteShop handmade, it's better.
I was going to say the same thing. Etsy is a platform for handmade artisans, not Chinese wholesalers. Supporting sellers like this degrades the efforts of handmade artisans on Etsy.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above commenters. The Chinese resellers on Etsy are hurting the true handmade culture of the site. Please reconsider.
ReplyDeleteEbay is great for knock offs! I agree with Etsy not being the site for Chinese resellers and it hurting those who truly make things handmade. While I try to buy the original as much as I can, sometimes the prices are just crazy. I scored the pave link bracelet for $20 off of Ebay and the bubble necklace for $15. Sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
ReplyDeleteWho cares. It's costume jewelry that won't be in style in 2 years. Why spend the money?
ReplyDeleteThank you anonymous. I buy the same looking things on amazon for 10 bucks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for looking these up for so many ungrateful people!!! I appreciate you and your site!
ReplyDeleteI like it very much .crystal jewelry
ReplyDeleteclear, like an innocent woman
Well...They are really pretty elegant and adorable I should say.Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have bought some J crew knockoffs other places and one person had the item for $19 on one site that looked like a kind of K mart type site, and on another upscale website for $69 . She told me they were the same necklace. I know she most likely got them from China but she was an American. I got another knockoff from an American claiming she made it and it was made cheaply and most likely in China.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowery JCrew necklaces.
