RocksBox Review #11 + 50% Off First Box!

I've been having a lot of fun with RocksBox and the beautiful pieces they send! I'll admit that I'm kind of lazy when it comes to jewelry; I don't buy it or wear it often, but I do enjoy it. RocksBox is perfect for me because it allows me to incorporate lots of different pieces into my wardrobe without having to make too much of a commitment.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

RocksBox is a jewelry rental service that costs $19 per month with shipping included. Currently they only ship to the U.S. For that fee they'll send you three stylist-selected pieces based off of your style profile and you have the option to keep any at special member prices. You can exchange your boxes as often as you'd like for new sets.

You'll also receive $10 in Shine Spend credits each month to use towards any piece you decide to keep. The credits don't roll over from month to month, but you can also earn more that don't expire by referring friends to the service.

I know I have said it before but I love their simple packaging. It's different from when I last used their service and I think it's much improved. I appreciate simple, clean packaging.

Necklaces are my favorite type of jewelry to wear so I was glad that I got two in this box. I think this selection was actually my best box yet!

I guess I forgot to take an up-close photo of the Kendra Scott Parker Studs in Periwinkle Translucent Glass (and I've since sent this box back to RocksBox), so I'll just talk about them now. I love these earrings and I almost kept them, but I want to keep my $40 in Shine Spend credits for an item that I just can't live without. While these were beautiful, I figured I could find a similar style elsewhere for a cheaper price. These were $36 to keep. What I loved most about them was the simple design and beautiful periwinkle color.

I also really loved the Gorjana Taner Dagger Varied Necklace in Gold ($104 to keep) and was disappointed that it was so expensive to keep. Gorjana (pronounced gor-ee-AH-nuh) is one of my favorite jewelry brands, and what I liked most about this necklace was the simplicity of it. I find myself drawn to dangly pieces like this, so it was a hit! I definitely would have kept it if it was more in the $50 range.

I also got the Gorjana Greer V-Neck Necklace ($52 to keep) in gold. I like silver and gold pieces, but I usually wear gold because I like how it looks on my tan/medium skin. I liked this necklace a lot, but not enough to keep. I appreciated the simple style and would probably purchase it if it was much cheaper (I'm talking $15-$20), but I wasn't wowed by it so I sent it back.

Bottom Line: I thought this box was fantastic and I really did love every piece I got! Unfortunately for me, Gorjana pieces are always beautiful but also usually expensive, so I didn't end up keeping either of the necklaces. I also really loved the earrings. Overall, I think the stylist did an excellent job of picking pieces for me for this box!

RocksBox Review #10 + Get Your First Box Free!

If you love jewelry then you definitely need to check out RocksBox--especially if you like frequently changing up your look! They have so many different pieces to choose from, and you can receive as many boxes as you want each month.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! for review purposes.

RocksBox is a jewelry rental subscription that costs $19 a month, shipping included. Currently they only ship to the U.S. Their website FAQ lists "Do you ship outside of the continental U.S.?" as a question, so I'm assuming that means they do not ship to Hawaii, Alaska, or APO/FPO boxes.

Each box will contain three pieces that were chosen for you by a stylist based on your style profile. The profile is very customizable and you can re-take it as many times as you want, so if you'd prefer to get only silver pieces one month or only necklaces another you have the freedom to do so. You can keep the pieces for as long as you want and then send them all back for a new box, or you can send back only the ones you don't want and you'll be charged a special member's price for whatever you keep.

Another great thing about RocksBox is that you'll get $10 in "Shine Spend" credits each month to use towards any pieces you want to keep. The Shine Spend doesn't roll over to the next month, but you'll always have at least $10 to use. You can earn more Shine Spend credits that last forever if you refer friends.

I prefer necklaces over any other type of jewelry, and so far my RocksBoxes have contained beautiful ones! I really like this Jenny Bird Palm Rope Necklace in Turquoise ($68 to keep); I've always liked how gold and turquoise look together. The necklace has a bohemian flair without being too wild. I'll wear this once (once I figure out what to wear it with), but I don't love it enough to keep it.

I also really liked this Gorjana Shimmer Disc Ring in Gold ($32 to keep), but unfortunately it was way too small for my finger, as you can see. I don't think that this was supposed to be a midi ring but that's what it ended up being on me! This isn't the first time I've gotten a ring that was too small from RocksBox, but unfortunately you can't choose your ring size in the style quiz.

Last up are the SLATE Pearl Triangle Studs ($35 to keep), which are probably my favorites from this box. I like stud earrings the best and I especially like these because they're a good mix of simple and fun. I might keep these if they were a little bit cheaper, but I don't need them for $35. Also, I always sanitize earrings before I wear them when I get them in my RocksBox. I'm sure that RocksBox does the same if they receive pieces back from subscribers, but it can't hurt to clean them myself as well.

• Use coupon code seeshoplovexoxo by April 10th to receive your first box for free! After the 10th the coupon will still be usable for 50% off of your first box.

Bottom Line: Even though I didn't end up keeping any items from this box I still wore the necklace and earrings out and about, which was fun. I liked the selection in this box a lot better than my last one, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else I'll receive in the future!

RocksBox Review - Get Your First Box Free!

I had a 6-month subscription to RocksBox not too long ago (read all of my previous reviews here) and I had a pretty good experience with them.  Not every piece I got was perfectly suited for my style, but I loved how easy it was to exchange your boxes and get new jewelry.  When they contacted me to see if I was interested in becoming an It Girl Influencer I happily obliged!  What does that mean for you?  Well, for starters, I have a special coupon code that will allow you to get your first box for free!  Keep reading for more information...

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! for review purposes.

RocksBox has changed their look since I last received a box and I like it!  It's very chic.  The box itself is also smaller than it used to be.

If you're not familiar with RocksBox, they're a jewelry rental subscription that sends an unlimited number of boxes to you for $19 a month.  Each box contains three pieces tailored to your style profile, and you'll also get $10 to spend on any piece that you choose to keep.  You can keep each box for as long as you'd like.  Shipping both ways is also free, but they currently only ship within the United States.

Each piece comes neatly packaged in a drawstring bag.  In my experience, bubble wrap is also common for earrings.  I received a necklace, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings in this shipment.

One detail that was new to me since the last time I used RocksBox was that I had a note on my account page from the stylist who chose these pieces for me.  She said she thought that I would like the House of Harlow necklace and chose two other pieces that could be worn with it.  She was right, I love the necklace, but the other two pieces weren't really my style.  That's the fun thing about RocksBox, though, if you don't like something you can just send it back!

I'll start with the necklace.  Its official name is the House of Harlow 1960 Pavé Tribal Triangle Pendant in Silver ($58 retail, $46 Insider's Price).  When I opened my box, the side in the photo was what was facing me so I assumed that that was the front of the necklace.  I was wrong!  The other side looks like this.  To be honest, I like the black side better--I normally go for basic looking pieces.  Either way, I like that I could wear this with the bling one day and with the solid black another.

This cuff is the Vanessa Mooney Empire Silver Cuff and it retails for $124!  The Insider's Price to keep it is $99.  Frankly, I can't believe that this costs that much.  Not to be offensive to the designer, but I think this looks like something I could find at any store in the mall for about $20.  It's just not my style.  Also, I have small wrists and this just kind of flopped all over when I tried it on.

The Urban Gem Shooting Star Earrings in Gold ($65 retail, $52 Insider's Price) are just okay to me.  I prefer stud earrings, but these are a weird mix of stud and dangly.  They're too long for me and not something I could wear every day.  I could see myself wearing them to a formal function or a party, but I don't really go to formal functions or parties ever.

Bottom Line: My first box back with RocksBox wasn't a total bust, but it wasn't perfectly spot-on to my style, either.  I'm excited to try more jewelry though, and I'm going to add some pieces that I like to my wishlist on the site so that they can get a better idea of what kinds of things I like.

RocksBox #4 Review

I'm currently on my sixth RocksBox, but it's taken me so long to post my reviews for the fourth and fifth boxes because they really weren't anything special.  For continuity's sake, though, I figured it would be best to write up a quick review for both.

I'll start with my favorite piece from the box, which was this necklace by Gorjana.  I didn't write down the names of the pieces before sending the box back, oops.  I've seen bar necklaces like this around and I wanted to get one, so I'm glad that I was able to try one through RocksBox because I actually didn't care for it once I had it on.  This was similar to all of the ones I've seen out and about, and I realized that the chain is just too short and I prefer longer necklaces.

I don't remember anything about these earrings, and RocksBox doesn't keep lists of the past items you've received so I have no idea what these were called or who the designer was.  I wanted to like them but they ended up being too big for me.  I just felt like they looked ridiculous regardless of what I wore them with because I just don't usually rock giant earrings.

This is the worst review post of all time because I also don't remember the name of this bracelet!  I do know that it was by CC Skye, though, because it's imprinted on the inside of the cuff in the photo above.  I wanted to like this one, too, but I didn't.  First, and most importantly, it was in terrible condition!  The clasp was dirty and really worn, and I think that RocksBox should have pulled this from their rotation.  I can't imagine anyone wanting to purchase it because it was in pretty rough shape (more photos below).  I thought that this cuff looked cool when I opened the box, but once I put it on it just seemed awkward and I didn't like how the chain part just hung down (it felt weird on my wrist).

Bottom Line: This box was a bust for me.  I thought I would like these styles, but I didn't.  It was also the fourth box in a row where they sent me all gold jewelry, even though I had specified in my profile that I wanted a mixture of silver and gold.

RocksBox Review (Box #3)

My third RocksBox has come and gone (I mailed it back a few days ago), and it was a fun selection.  I only ended up wearing one of the items, but I did like two out of the three.  I've changed up my style profile a little bit and made it a bit more specific, so hopefully my fourth box will be three pieces that I can really put to good use!  If you're unfamiliar with how RocksBox works, please read my review of my first box--I've added links to all of them at the end of this post.

I'll start with my most-loved item.  This is the Shark Tooth Pave Necklace in Gold by Viento, and I think it's amazing!  It was on a longer chain and it hit about mid-sternum on me.  I wore it twice while I had the box, and I liked that it added edge to my otherwise plain outfits.  I didn't purchase it, though, because the member's price was still up around $100 (if I remember correctly).

I also really liked these earrings; they're called the Green Faux Stone Chandelier Earrings and they're by Urban Gem.  The color was more green than this photo is showing; they were actually a bright emerald.  I loved the style and the color, I just didn't wear them because I had nothing to wear them with.

The Maja Ring in Bronze, also by Viento, was my third piece.  I liked the style of this ring, I just didn't like it for me.  I think it looks really cool and I like the intricate detailing, but it was just too big for me to wear.  I unchecked the box on my style profile that said I'd like to receive rings, because I've gotten one in each box so far and I haven't worn any of them.  I definitely would have worn this if it was just a bit shorter in length.

Bottom Line: I enjoyed this RocksBox and, as always, can't wait to see what they send me for my fourth one.  I'm hoping that I'll get at least one silver piece, because I have on my profile that I would like to receive both silver and gold (so far I've only received gold).  Although I haven't loved every single piece I've ever gotten, I have gotten some really pretty jewelry that I wouldn't have access to otherwise and I think RocksBox is a really great service!

RocksBox Review (Box #2)

I never ended up filming an unboxing video for my second RocksBox, but I'm here with a blog review.  I've been really excited about receiving my boxes because I've recently gotten more into jewelry and accessorizing, and getting a surprise of three high-end pieces in the mail is a lot of fun.  If you're new to RocksBox, you can learn more about it at my post for my first box.

I've received three boxes so far (review for my third one is upcoming, I've just fallen a bit behind on non-sponsored posts), and I have yet to receive one where I loved all three pieces.  I haven't hated all of the pieces either, though, so that's a good thing.  I modified my style profile recently, so maybe my selections will be better for my fourth box.  I've left feedback on the items I've gotten so far, so that will help them narrow things down for me as well.

My first piece is this Benatar Statement Necklace by CC Skye, which I absolutely loved!  When I opened the box it was the first thing that caught my eye, and I said an emphatic "oooh, pretty!" out loud.  Dangly statement necklaces are definitely my style.  This one retails for $220, which is way more than I would ever pay for something like this, so it was fun to be able to wear it around.  It was of substantial weight, too, so you can tell it wasn't a cheaper piece from Forever 21 (I love my Forever 21 jewelry, just making a comparison there!).  I would have loved to have purchased this, but it was just too far out of my price range, even with the membership discount.

 

Next up is the Infinity II Ring by Gorjana, which I also loved.  It's a nice, dainty ring, and I just thought that the design was really cool.  I wasn't able to wear it, because as you can see from the photo above it was too small for my finger.  It retails for $40, and was only $28 with the membership discount.  I would have bought this one, too, if it had fit.

My last item was this pair of earrings, the Two Stone Drop Earrings in Ruby Black by Margaret Elizabeth.  These retail for $115, which I don't understand.  Druses aren't particularly expensive, at least I didn't think so, and the reddish gems weren't made of anything special, either.  I like the silhouette of these, just not the stones.  I realized that druzy jewelry is not for me.

Bottom Line: Even though I really liked two out of my three pieces, I was only able to wear the necklace because the ring didn't fit.  But despite that, I'm still having such a fun time with RocksBox and I can't wait to see what they send next!

RocksBox Review and Unboxing (Box #1)

I received a free six month membership to RocksBox from iFabbo (thanks iFabbo!) and I was super excited to get my first shipment.  I'm not great at accessorizing, so the ability to try unlimited pieces through a service like this was very intriguing.

RocksBox costs $19 a month, but it operates a bit differently than traditional subscription services.  With other subscriptions you pay the monthly fee in exchange for one box, but with RocksBox you can try as many jewelry pieces as you want!  They send you an initial box after your first payment that contains three pieces, and then you can either keep those for up to 60 days, purchase the pieces at a discounted member rate (20% off retail), or send them back for a new set.  I'm not so sure if I'll end up purchasing anything because a lot of the pieces are more expensive than what I prefer to spend on jewelry, but who knows.  The best part for me is that I can try lots of different styles during my six month membership.

I was anxious to see what my first box would contain, and even though I ended up wearing only one of the three pieces, it still was a really fun experience (and I can't wait to receive more boxes!).  The three pieces I received were:

• Druzy Studs in Black by Margaret Elizabeth, $88
• Bean Ring by Lucas Jack, $48
• Cleo's Secret Necklace by Samantha Wills, $130

I loved the necklace, but the ring and earrings weren't my style.  For a more in-depth review of the items, check out my unboxing video below.

My main question after receiving my first box was whether or not RocksBox recycled their pieces from member to member.  In their FAQ I learned that yes, they do, but each piece is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before it's sent out to another person.  I also learned that the membership fees cover insurance on the items, so any minor wear and tear will not be counted against you.  If you severely damage or lose an item, though, you will be charged for it (completely understandable).

Bottom Line: I think RocksBox is so fun!  Even though my membership is free for the time being, I still would pay the $19 a month otherwise.  I love the idea of getting jewelry surprises, even if I don't get to keep them.  Use promo code FABB for 50% off of your first three months of RocksBox by clicking here.
