FWIW, most people I "know" who have one are actually buying $15 knockoffs on ebay. But yeah, i don't think it's fug, but it's NMS and it's ridiculously popular. I dunno, trends happen. This one seems not so bad in the grand scheme of trends.
Before I even opened it I knew it was the bubble necklace.
I have a version in orange:
It started as a blogging trend, then took GBCN by storm. It's just like any other fad. People see it, think it looks nice, then they buy one. Then we all end up looking alike.
FWIW, I haven't seen any IRL, and have received a ton of compliments on mine. (Mostly from older ladies that enjoy big necklaces themselves.

I want it! I've had my eye out for a chunky orange necklace.
I wouldn't pay full price for it. I think it's cute and if paired with the right thing. I'd use it as a statement jewelry piece. If I were wearing a solid colored top, then I'd throw that bad boy on in a heart beat. But, mixing it with loud patterns - not my thing.

Pixy I like yours but the jcrew ones aren't my favorite and I agree with pp, some of these people who are wearing them just look off. Out of proportion or something and I really do not like this necklace with a button down collared shirt - it's just weird.

It's hideous. It looks like cheap plastic shit weighed down in metal that will turn your skin green.
To be fair, I think this about all "accessory" jewelry. The only jewelry I wear for the most part, and only on rare occasion, are pieces I buy from real jewelry stores (or, more likely, inherited).
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
oh, I really like it. but I'd never pay $150 for it and even if I had it I'd probably never wear it because I suck at accessorizing. (and I never go anywhere anymore and when I do I'm wearing more baby spit up than jewelry these days. yuck)

Wait, that bubble shit is $150?! You have got to be kidding me. I honestly thought it would be around $20. Which is still too expensive for that crap, but at least it's a reasonable amount for a trend.

it's JCrew and they are inexplicably expensive (IMO) these days. jerks.
Well, I love it and bought the $15 knock off before things really got out of hand. Woot. No way in hell would I ever pay for the real thing. It's freaking plastic!
