Jewelry shopping can be overwhelming.
Let’s be honest, Charming Charlie’s is basically the Forever 21 of jewelry. You could spend hours searching each carefully color-coded section of the store and still leave feeling like you didn’t get to see everything. But we do it anyway because of the tiny thrill we get when daunting our new accessory, the smile that forms when the piece not only matches your outfit, but makes it, and for the compliments from a random passerby on the street (don’t lie).
What if you could simplify this process? I’m talking perusing an entire collection of designer jewelry on your phone from the comfort of your bed, creating a wish-list of pieces you’d die for and receiving a carefully crafted, ribbon-tied white box containing those pieces on your doorstep less than a week later.
Intrigued? I thought so.
Allow me to introduce you to one of the most innovative online jewelry services available today: Rocksbox.
Rocksbox is a premium jewelry box subscription for girls on a budget who love to switch up their statement pieces without breaking the bank, entering a store or leaving their couch.
Meaghan Rose and Maia Bittner co-founded the online jewelry subscription website when seeing a need arise in women to simplify the jewelry shopping process. Rocksbox satisfies this need in the most charming way possible.
Basically, to begin this process you must become a “Shine Insider,” the women’s way of saying a jewelry fashionista on a budget. In order to become an insider, you must take a short style survey quiz and then add items from their premiere Rocksbox designer collection to your wishlist based on your personal preferences.
From there, a stylist will analyze your survey results and your wishlist choices and pick three pieces based on your request. The jewelry will be sent in a small white box, tied closed with a ribbon, including a hand-crafted message for you inside. Rocksbox will notify you when your stylist begins to choose your piece and again when your box has shipped! (Oh… did I mention it’s free shipping? Pretty stinkin’ awesome)
After raving over and enjoying your three loaned pieces for the month (or any amount of time you see fit), you simply return the pieces with the shipping label and convenient packaging they have included in order to have your stylist begin picking your next set of jewelry!
On average, each box has three pieces with a combined average worth of $200. Sounds expensive and out of the college-girl price range, right?
Wrong. It only costs $19.99 a month to be a Shine Insider!
That means you pay less than $20 each month to look like a designer-wearing style icon. You could spend two hours in Charming Charlie’s searching high and low for the perfect statement necklace OR you could take a style survey, sign up to be a Shine Insider, and have a Kendra Scott Connie necklace shipped to your doorstep.
Instead of running out to buy the latest fad in jewelry right now, only to have it be replaced by a new trend next month or sit in your closet for three weeks after being worn once, try loaning some pieces you can return whenever you get tired of them. You’ll never have to crouch down and dig around a sale basket of rings ever again. Odds are, you’ll get three pieces of amazing jewelry for less than the statement necklace you wanted to buy (to match that “one” dress that you’ll probably never wear again).
Why not rent jewelry instead? It’s like a trial run for designer jewelry!
And what if you start wearing the adorable gold wrap Gorjana Isla Cuff every day and can’t bear to send it back, you may ask? The best part is, you can buy it! That’s right, Rocksbox offers a discounted price for the designer jewelry to their Shine Insiders (as well as $10 off that price a month!).
I’ll even let you in on a little secret… you can get your first month free with invite codes provided by bloggers, pinners and magazines! No strings attached!
So what are you waiting for? Whether you’re “accessory addicted” or a bit “sparkle-shy,” there’s jewelry waiting for you to try on in the comfort of your own home this summer on Rocksbox.com. Dazzle everyone with designer wear on a less-than-designer budget!
