Bubble Relaunch!

{via}

Several seasons ago (maybe sometime in 2007?), J. Crew released the Bubble Necklace with their fall collection. The Bubble Necklace is a beautiful piece of art made of 18K gold electroplated brass with hand-set resin cabochons and beads. It was wildly popular, and they kept it around for a few seasons and offered it in several different colors. Since then, they discontinued the necklace and for the last several years, you could walk into almost any mainstream clothing or department store and see cheaper, colorful, not-so-great copies of the Bubble, and the necklace has continually been wildly circulated on eBay (and still is - just search "jcrew bubble necklace"). Most stores who copied the necklace added a few beads, or made the shape a little different, but H&M came right out and copied it exactly (minus the high-quality products J. Crew uses) as seen in the picture below. 


Well, good news to all of you who have lusted after the necklace for years (me), IT'S BACK! And it's offered this season in two of the best colors ever, Black and Modern Red (and good news - Christmas is less than three months away). I will leave you with some eye candy:
