Lately I see these types of affordable aka cheap jewelry being the most sold on Etsy. Charm jewelry isn't supplies, handmade or vintage! So why should these sellers be allowed to go to eBay, King Bead, Alibaba, Dhgate and other wholesale sites to buy dirt cheap silver plated charms, only to slap said charms on a even cheaper chain, and be able to call it handmade jewelry? I'm only A BUYER and this Pisses me off! I can only imagine how REAL jewelry creators feel about this crap.
Here's examples of charm necklaces
Let me start with this popular seller with over 5300 sales!

But before I go; I want to post about The harmonica charm necklace.
(Another popular jewelry fad)
First off these mini-harmonicas are dirt cheap.You can buy them in bulk already ON a chain on the Alibaba wholesale site (.44 cents a piece, and if you buy more than 30 they're .6 cents lol)
Closer look

Seller idlehandsdesigns is selling hers for $86! She thinks by putting it in her mouth with her overly glittered lips will heightened it's value WTF.
"Little Lady" is a more expensive brand, sure! but you can get the exact one on eBay for $11 and in NEW condition (lol)
