I mentioned a few weeks ago that I am going to start a new series focusing on finding you the better deal on one specific item. This little epiphany came to me when a friend recently shared with me that she was dying for this cone pendant but couldn’t bear the $1200 price tag. She asked me to keep an eye out for something similar and I, of course, took that as a challenge and went completely OCD thinking about it. I ended up coming across a similar version for a quarter of the price and, voila, this idea was born!
Here you have The Better Deal! On the left is the original inspiration cone pendant and on the right is my less-expensive find. You can see some of the slight differences but, I am sure that if you are looking to save about $900 you can get past it.
I know that you have to be careful when comparison shopping because sometimes the cheaper option is smaller/flimsier/off color so I made sure to check the details. As for specs, this is how they compare:
24 diameter x 22.5H // 24 diameter and you can choose height
gold cord // cloth covered cord
hardwire // hardwire
gold colored inner shade // inner shade matches outer color
glossy finish // more of a matte finish
$1200 Cone Pendant // $250 Cone Pendant
So have you been on the hunt for a better deal on a particular item? Let me know in the comments or shoot me an email I would love to go on the hunt for you and share it in one of my upcoming “Better Deal” series!
