What's Hot in Jewelry

Got an obsession? Whatever it is, you can probably find a subscription box for it. From video games to gourmet snacks, these days it's possible to subscribe to virtually anything that speaks to you. This is great news for jewelry lovers. Subscriptions for fashion, designer and luxury jewelry cater to sparkle connoisseurs of practically any socioeconomic status. New baules at your doorstep every month? Please pinch us, we might be dreaming. This issue takes a look at three jewelry subscription boxes, so that you can get your regularly-scheduled dose of glam.

​

JewelBox
It doesn't matter if your style leans toward hippie-chic or vintage, classic of modern. JewelBox sends you jewels based on your style. After you take a short style quiz, you will be matched to one of five style profiles, Urban Sophisticate, Boho Glamour, Free Spirit, Classic Chic or Vintage Finds. If you're not sure or prefer not to stick to one type, you can request a mystery box instead.
    JewelBox presents the standard option for $10 a month (+$2 shipping), which gives you a single piece of jewelry based on your style profile. Alternately, you can spring for the Luxebox, which, at $20 per month, includes two pieces of jewelry and free shipping. The offerings are typically fashion or gold-plated jewelry with gemstones, glass, crystals or found objects.
    Starting at only $10, Jewelbox is one of the less expensive options for a jewelry subscription box. It's a great way to build up your jewelry collection on a budget, and a wonderful surprise to look forward to each month.

Rocksbox
Perhaps the subscription box model is too much of a gamble for you. I mean, you might get a few pieces that you really like, but what about the other stuff that's just going to take up room in your jewelry box?
    Say hello to Rocksbox, the hybrid subscription/rental service for jewelry. For $19 a month, they will send you three hand-picked designer jewelry pieces based on your personal style. You can return the pieces any time within sixty days and have a new set sent to your door. But if you really love any of the pieces, you have the option to buy them at a special member discount (individual pieces tend to range from $30 - $100 retail price).
    This is a great way to try new jewelry without having to commit to something you might only wear once. Take their style survey to get a selection tailored to your tastes. Browse their featured styles and add pieces to your wish list. Their subscription includes free shipping both ways, with prepaid envelopes making it so easy to return any jewelry you decide not to keep. Your subscription comes with $10 in "Shine Spend" each month to put toward any jewelry you can't bear to part with. So what's not to adore? Rocksbox is your chance to be more daring with your jewelry, and possibly discover styles you never knew you'd love.

​

Opulent Box
All that chic fashion jewelry is fun and all, but you'd never go for something so passé. No, if it's going to take up space in your jewelry box, it's got to be the real thing. Let us introduce you to the Opulent Box.
    For fans of fine jewelry, it doesn't get better than this luxurious subscription box. A whopping $25,000 per quarter gets you gorgeous jeweled masterpieces from renowned brands such as Cartier or Louis Vuitton. These pedigreed pieces are accompanied by appraisals, certificates of authenticity and other unspecified "goodies" (because if you're going to drop a year's salary on a subscription box, the least they can do is throw in a few freebies).
    But, as is expected with luxury buys such as this, customer satisfaction is paramount. As with other jewelry subscriptions, this one starts with a survey to determine your tastes and preferences. However, your Opulent Box subscription also includes your own personal jewelry concierge who will tailor the jewelry and extras to your unique style. And if you don't like a piece, your concierge is there to help you exchange your bauble for something a little more you.

They really do make a subscription box for everyone! But when it comes to jewelry subscription boxes, these three are just the tip of the iceberg. Check out the Pinterest board below for these and other fun services you can subscribe to in order to get your jewelry fix.
