I’m actually re-subscribing just for this piece! I love it! I’m a 32DD and have never thought twice about wearing this style of necklace.

The necklace is available on the Luvaj site directly for $35, just FYI.

Wow. That’s disappointing. It’s the hero item, right? $35?

On their survey, my feedback was that I loved everything but the cheap jewelry. I think they need to figure out who their BOS customers are. Seems like more than a few of us are middle aged which means we have real jewelry. My 14 year old loves it, she got the hairpin, the Bittar ring, the bangle…and now another ring and probably necklace will be coming her way, I am not resigning unless they bring back the value in the box. Sigh.

has anyone else had a hard time cancelling? i emailed the request, they offered $10 off my next box. I said no thank you, please cancel. Then they sent an email with suggestions on how to style the ring/necklace set and to let them know if I wanted to keep or cancel. How many times do I have to tell them I dont want their box before they will send me a cancellation confirmation?

I didn’t have an issue, but I specifically said I was cancelling because I was not interested in the hero item. They wrote right back confirming the cancellation. Maybe enough people have cancelled now that they are trying to save subscriptions? Sadly, even a ten dollar off offer would not have changed my mind about this season’s box.

I think they might have gotten a lot of cancellation requests and are trying to find some way to keep you. When I cancelled I got an email rather quickly saying it was cancelled but asking for a reason why.
I did tell them that the upcoming necklace was never going to work for me. I also told them that the purse from last month wasn’t a hit either (I just pulled it out of the box again and tried it on….it looks so ridiculous on me….like I took my 5 year old’s play purse!).

I cancelled. I wasn’t that thrilled with the last box and this one was not very appealing either. I would rather spend my $$$ on things I want. Or will enjoy. Not cheap jewelry or hair products I’ll never purchase.
SDR
They’re also misrepresenting value. That necklace was originally $75 and is now available for $35. The ring is no longer available but until the recent fine jewelry line, Luvaj never had any ring priced above $100. The real current value is around $75-90. So unless the rest of the box is really valuable, this is not a good deal.
Ann
Just a reminder that I *THINK* today is the last day to be able to cancel for the next box. I cancelled and already got a response asking why, which is good.

I went ahead and cancelled too. Told them in the email that it was because I disliked the necklace and ring. Still kind of sad about it, but if the only thing I liked from the last box was the sample la mer, and I already know I don’t like the hero item – there’s really no other option.

Not impressed at all! I wish they would include a piece of her jewelry! I’m going to cancel!!!!

I’m going to hold off on cancelling in hopes that they will release another, better spoiler, but I’ll be watching the calendar closely so I can cancel before I’m charged. Very disappointed – last summer’s box was my favorite of every BOS I’ve received – that bag, that gorgeous sarong – so I had such high hopes. But I wasn’t impressed with the spring bag, and to be honest, haven’t used a single item from that box… so I probably need to just go ahead and save my $100.

I feel like this is becoming the Rachel Zoe jewelry and purse box. I love the pieces she chooses, but I really want more variety in the hero items. I already have so much costume/mid-range jewelry and bunches of little clutch-sized purses. This has been my fourth box and I’m seriously considering cancelling.
But I’m holding out hope that she reads and takes the comments seriously–the review from the unboxing party said that she does!

Ugh, starting to regret the yearly sub. Hopeful that the rest of the box is nice!!

The discount doesn’t seem to work anymore… probably just as well – I should resist the temptation!

Going to cancel if they keep this as the hero item and going to try Luxor. They actually listened to their customers, and that alone is worth going with them. C’mon Rachel, listen to your customers and make this box right. Almost $200 for costume jewelry with is a huge portion of the box value? No, just no.

I was sad to cancel because this is one of my favorite boxes but I know I’ll never wear the necklace. I hope to be back for Fall. My favorite season!

That’s the great thing about having so many different types of sub boxes and the swaps. We all have different tastes. I have nothing like the necklace or the ring in my “fun jewelry”! Until recently, I was like the nice lady who stated that she only wears here wedding rings and another similar type ring. I, too, am a 34D. Size 4-6 … I used to never wear anything but my real jewelry.
I have found it very liberating to break free from the mold of my “classic” look and go “glam, trendy, boho, and what ever else I felt like exploring! & it’s not being trampy. My husband loves it!
I haven’t felt free like this in years!
I look forward to this box to have fun!!!

I cancelled. I already have a couple of lariat necklaces, and this doesn’t look like a $190 set. Really dislike the ring. And the rest of the box will be just over $100 in value if it’s going to be about $300… No thank you. Hopefully the fall box will be better.

I cancelled too. I’m happy for the people who like this item, but it’s not my style at all, so I will sign up again for the fall if I like the hero items. Funny, they asked about a two-year sub in their recent survey, and I said yes, but now I am much less sure.

I cancelled. I will never wear this necklace…maybe the ring, but it is just too much of the full value for me. I am going to save my $100 and apply it toward the Popsugar summer LE box.

I would have preferred to see a piece of her jewelry in the box since some pieces are around the same price point. I do like the ring though and hope the rest of the box impresses.

I agree! I wish she would take a page out of Luxor Box’s customer service and change the hero item since the majority seem to dislike it. I’m sad to cancel, but that brand is just not worth it. I would definitely stick around if she changed it to one of her pieces of jewelry though!

Second that. Really hope BOS can do the same as Luxor… So very regret to sign up for annual subscription… Can’t cancel like the rest of you did… Sigh…

I am an annual subscriber and I’m a bit bummed about this spoiler.
I just think this style of necklace only really works with a low cut neckline, which I never wear for various reasons. I got that kitsch necklace from Popsugar last year and just couldn’t make it work with anything in my closet, despite liking the delicate style.
Oh well, I like the box overall and maybe Rachel will have some styling suggestions for those of us who don’t wear tops like the one pictured!

Hey there,
I actually think this would work really well with a turtleneck or crew neck shirt/dress as well and do not think that it only works with low necklines.
I think you are right. I would never wear a low cut top like the one in the spoiler, but I have worn a similar style necklace with a long mock turtle neck shirt-dress and received many compliments.
2imo
Perfect-just in time for summer. Get the turtlenecks out
Karen
I agree with you. It will work with other necklines, not just low cut.
Ann
Cancelled but remain totally open to coming back for fall. So grateful they reveal the hero item so we have the option of passing each season! A cute patterned home item by Lilly or Marimekko would have been something fun and colorful for summer.

Sadly, cancelled. The Hero item was underwhelming, also don’t like the brand. BOS is my favorite upscale subscription, but the value of the Hero item is so big against the total value that there is little room to justify the $100 cost. I have always looked forward to this box, and wish I didn’t have to wait for Fall. It’s too bad.

I love this hero item. BOS is my favorite box. People have to keep an open mind. Some things don’t seem that great in the pic, but when you actually get them in hand , they turn out to be better than expected. This is so my style, so maybe that’s why I feel differently than most of the people who commented. Keeping fingers crossed about this box.

I like the style of this jewelry set but don’t like the brand. If it was from some other better designer (like Alexis Bittar), I bet we all would’ve been excited. I am so over the inflated prices of this costume jewlery and wish that one day we will get some cute silver jewelry from tiffany (which is by the way almost the same price range).
Reply
Christina
Tiffany is not Rachel Zoe’s style. The point of the box is to get something Rachel Zoe would choose for you, not something you would choose for yourself. I don’t understand why so many people post in these comments that they wish their boxes would send out Tiffany jewelry. If that’s really what you want, then maybe it would make more sense to stop subscribing to boxes where you don’t know what you’re getting, and save that money to buy yourself a Tiffany piece of your own choice.
Reply
Karen
I couldn’t agree with you any more. I can’t believe how many people are hating this spoiler. I love it! People keep mentioning Tiffany’s, to be honest with you I would rather have this than tiffanys. I have a few Tiffany pieces and I think it’s nothing special. I think Tiffanys is over priced. This is definately something you would see Rachel Zoe wearing and I love her style.
Kristin
OMG I love the idea of a small Tiffany’s piece!

I TOTALLY agree that a tiffany piece would be amazing!! I think it probably won’t happen though, only because the “price” they quote us at is not what they pay for it. So since the hero item is usually “exclusive” it means two things: 1) other people won’t have it (yay) but 2) that the value is inflated because the designer and the curator struck a deal for wholesaling it essentially. This is my general issue with the hero item always being “exclusive:” it drives up cost. This is how they afford to put such “high cost” items in the box, after all. So, I doubt Tiffany’s would strike a deal with them, but who knows 🙂
I think the necklace could be really cool, I don’t love the ring though. But I have learned my lesson enough times that I should wait til I have it in person to decide 🙂
hildol
totally completely 100% agree. She would blow everyone away with a tiffany silver piece (yes, same pricing) or a sterling silver verses the junky fake costume over inflated pricing.

I’m a 32dd but I’m still excited for this! Rachel Zoe always has great things I wouldn’t buy for myself but once I receive it, I realize I really do like it. That’s the fun of subscription boxes!

I guess I’m in the minority since I wear long necklaces like this one all the time with no problems and I’m a 36 DDD. It’s good that people know the hero item in advance so they can cancel especially in light of the price. For me, unless I know something can’t fit me (no issue yet but if she ever sends pants it would be since I’m a 5’11” size 6 with a minimum 34-36″ inseam). I try to reserve judgment until I get the box in my hands because I sub specifically to experiment with pieces I wouldn’t have picked myself. I’m willing to assume that risk for that reason but can definitely see that as a gamble not everyone wants to take at this price point. So far I’ve loved every jewelry item since the first box. I still wear the first bracelet at least twice a week. Ditto for the ring, the latest bracelet, ear crawlers and watch. So I’m excited to get more new pieces!

I think I am going to cancel. Not impressed with the jewelry. I guess I was expecting something different for summer.
