Rocksbox is a subscription based “try before you buy” jewelry service that allows you to rent or buy pieces from a collection of trendy, yet affordable designers.
Upon signing up, you’ll be asked to complete a style quiz that helps Rocksbox determine the jewelry styles that best suit your needs. You can specify metal type, earring styles, ring size, stone preference, and more. You can also omit jewelry you don’t have a use for — I no longer have pierced ears, so I choose the “no earrings” option.
Disclosure: Box was received for review purposes. Post may contain affiliate/referral links.
At the end of the style quiz, you’ll have a chance to indicate additional preferences — such as designers you like/dislike, any metal allergies, upcoming events, etc. Rocksbox carries popular designers such as Kate Spade, Kendra Scott, Gorjana, Slate, Aster, Sophie Harper, and more.
Next, you can browse all of the available jewelry and add your favorites to your wishlist.
Rocksbox recommends adding at least 30 items to your wishlist so their stylists can start preparing your first box with those selections in mind. There is no limit to how many items you can add. You can also rank your top 10 favorite pieces, which are moved to the top of your wishlist and given preference over the others.
Once your stylist curates your first collection, you’ll receive an email to preview the set and swap out any pieces for others that better suit you. — I LOVE this option, as it ultimately gives you full control over the pieces you receive.
When you receive your box, you can keep and wear the pieces as long as you’d like. The $21/month membership fee allows you to “rent” an unlimited amount of sets in that single-month period. If you decide to purchase any of the pieces, you’ll be able to use the $21 fee right towards the cost of the item(s). (You’ll also get an extra $10 discount if you decide to keep all 3 pieces!) Anything you choose to return is simply shipped back to Rocksbox in the pre-paid shipping envelope included with each box.
For a limited time, you can score a full month of Rocksbox for FREE (along with a $21 credit) when you use coupon code “2littlerosebudsxoxo” at checkout!
Okay, let’s check out my April 2023 Rocksbox!
My jewelry was shipped in a white padded envelope via First Class Mail. — Make sure you open it carefully, as you’ll need to use this same envelope to mail back any items you choose not to keep.
All of the pieces were tucked into a small lidded box that’s 100% recyclable & made in the USA.
A peek inside!
All of the pieces in my new set were detailed on the label above (also shown in the screenshot from my account). It included the retail prices vs. member prices for each item, along with any discounts and credits I may have earned. (Members receive $25 in “forever credit” for each person they refer to Rocksbox. This credit can be used to purchase any item(s) in your set. All members receive special pricing that’s almost always lower than retail.)
Each piece of jewelry was individually packaged in its own custom drawstring bag.
Kate Spade On the Dot Sphere Studs in Silver (Member Price: $58 — or $37 with the monthly $21 credit)
These pretty “On the Dot” sphere-shaped studs by Kate Spade consist of a shimmering cluster of bezel-set crystals in various sizes. The studs are roughly 1/2 an inch in diameter and have a decent weight to them, though I wouldn’t quite consider them heavy. They’re made of silver over brass and finished in a high polish shine.
Mignonne Gavigan Crystal Madeline Stud in Multi (Member Price: $125 — or $104 with the monthly $21 credit)
I’m pretty sure these are the first Mignonne Gavigan earrings I’ve gotten from Rocksbox and sadly my photos really don’t do them justice… The colors are SO much more vibrant in person! They’re made of 14k gold plated brass with stainless steel posts and multi-color glass crystals. Each earring measures about 1″ in diameter and are relatively lightweight.
Kate Spade My Love Mini Pendant in Silver (Member Price: $68 — or $47 with the monthly $21 credit)
The My Love Mini Pendant by Kate Spade is a high polish, silver/rhodium necklace featuring a heart-shaped pearl (natural stone) pendant with a clear pave border. The pendant is strung on a thin, 16-inch silver cable chain with a 3-inch extender. So pretty!
As mentioned earlier, Rocksbox provides a pre-paid shipping label to return any of the items that you don’t want to purchase. Once you’re finished trying them on/out, just place them right back in the box they came in and ship them back so they can start building your next set. Easy!
Another fun, 100% customized collection of jewelry from Rocksbox! I love how there’s no commitment to keep any of the pieces, so I can simply wear them for a bit and send them back if I don’t absolutely love them. My favorite pieces this time were the Mignonne Gavigan Crystal Madeline Studs and Kate Spade My Love Mini Pendant Necklace. 🙂 — Remember, for a limited time you can score a full month of Rocksbox for FREE (along with a $21 credit) when you use coupon code “2littlerosebudsxoxo” at checkout!
