Rocksbox is a designer jewelry styling and renting service. Members pay a flat rate every month to get unlimited access to the Rocksbox collection and the option to buy the pieces they love most at a discounted price. Right now, you can even get your first month of Rocksbox membership for free! (Read on to learn how, or check out our list of other free subscription boxes here!)
Upon subscribing, you'll take a "style survey," so Rocksbox can suggest jewelry pieces that fit your style. You can also browse their catalog and add pieces to your wish list. Each month, Rocksbox will curate sets of three pieces to send your way, including at least one piece from your wishlist. I've been leaving my list empty so that Rocksbox can do all the picking for me.
Try on the items in the box, and wear them as long as you'd like. From there, you have two choices. If you love any of the pieces enough to want to keep them, you can put your monthly "Shine Credit" towards your purchase.
Or, if you're ready for another style, return your box using the free shipping label and reusable envelope you got with your shipment. Shortly after, you'll get a brand new box of jewelry to enjoy!
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Rocksbox Rental Jewelry March 2019 Review
Here's the info booklet that came with the jewelry set. It includes a product list with retail and member-specific pricing,
A free return shipping label is also at the bottom of the box. FYI: The outer envelope that Rocksbox ships inside doubles as a return shipping envelope! Be careful as you cut it open—there's a second adhesive strip that can be used to reseal the envelope for its trip back.
Each jewelry item comes tucked inside its own protective pouch that can also be used as a polishing cloth.
Kendra Scott Aragon Earring in Silver and Ivory Mother of Pearl - Listed Value $80.00, Member Price $80.00
I love Kendra Scott pieces because of the focus on different types of gemstones and other natural elements at a decently attainable price. My only critique of this brand is that I wish they offered true sterling silver posts, but since these are either silver or gold coated, my sensitive ears are just barely bothered by the metals. I absolutely LOVE the style of these pearl pretties. The classic Kendra cut shape has been removed from its frame and dangles from a minimal geometric post. I dig that they are still pretty large, and how the pearl shield has movement. Something like this I would wear daily, so I am pretty smitten with them. No RocksBox discount on these, which is a little bit of a bummer.
Perry Street Imogen Statement Drops - Retail Value $60.00, Member Price $51.00
These are kind of a lot, but so am I! They remind me so much of the costume jewelry I used to collect in college and wear all the time, too formal or not. A little background: I wasn't allowed to pierce my ears until I was 18! Being a brat I totally did it myself when I was 17. You know, just to be difficult. Earrings have been my favorite jewelry to wear ever since. These would have been totally up my alley back then, and they still are now. The color combo of red, amethyst, jonquil, lilac, and blush is really unusual and unexpected, but works so well, especially set into the bright gold hardware. The little dangling spikes give these otherwise vintage earrings some modern edge. I feel like Blanche from the Golden Girls would have owned these. If you are a reasonable person, you would likely pair these with a sleek black outfit. If you are me, you pair them with a loud floral blazer, because why not?
Rudiment Zeitgeist Necklace - Listed Value $75.00, Member Price $63.00
I am nuts for anything celestial. Give me all the stars and moons and I am happy. This cute little necklace has a pair of gold-toned round tags each with CZ set stars and a moon. I really love delicate layering pieces like this because mixing and matching with other necklaces in your stash let you create a look that is 100% your own. These charms have a certain antique feel to them and feel timeless and classic. Because this is a pair of charms, it feels very chic and is effortlessly easy to wear with any look. I did notice that this particular piece was missing a little bit of the shiny coating on the metal on the tags.
The Verdict: I kind of want to keep every piece from this month's Rocksbox. I would easily get tons of wear out of each of these, as they each speak to a different side of my style. The Kendra Scott earrings are so modern and clean and would work for both daily wear and special occasions. The Perry Street earrings I would probably reserve for more formal occasions or a girl's night out. The little gold Rudiment necklace is an everyday/anytime sort of piece and the moon and stars are so on trend. The beauty of this sub is that I can hang on to them for as long as I like, and just swap them out when I am ready. If I decide I really can't live without something (*cough cough*) I can choose to buy them for the discounted member cost.

Value Breakdown: Rocksbox membership costs $21.00 per month. At retail, the three pieces would cost me $215.00. With my Rocksbox discounts and the member pricing (including the buy-all-three-item discount, my $5 worth of Forever Credit that I have on my account, and the $21.00 of Shine Credit (the membership fee for the month, which goes towards your purchases), that price drops to $158.00.
