Glow by Local Eclectic Jewelry Review - Winter 2020
From start to finish this box had a great unboxing experience. This month, we received some art prints by women artists.

Bunny Velvet Scrunchie Set, 3 ct - Buy 3 for $12 in a similar style from Free People
We received a set of velvet bunny scrunchies, and I am in LOVE. Along with helping me embrace my inner '90s girl, these are also just completely adorable- and it is pretty easy to position the bunny ears so they poke up.

La Kaiser Emerald Fleurette Ring - Buy this identical style made with diamonds and sapphires for $340
I almost never wear rings, but this is going to be the ring that changes that. Along with fitting perfectly, I think it is the perfect combination of class, sparkle, and color. The stones are CZ (cubic zirconia), but they still pack a sparkly punch, and they are set in a vintage-inspired base in 14K gold plated over sterling silver.

Kamaria Aura Necklace - Estimated Value $65 (based on similar styles from the brand)
The dreamy opal on this necklace has me swooning, and unlike last quarter this necklace actually has a chain length that should fit almost anyone. The chain is 18 inches and features a sliding lobster clasp that can adjust the length of the necklace. I wish there was more than one loop to attach the clasp to, but I absolutely adore the pave crystal setting the lab-created opal sets in. The chain is also gold-plated sterling silver, too.
Here is where the necklace rests on me with no adjustments to the length. Look at that sparkle and shine!
Verdict: This box is on the pricier end, and I appreciated that Glow by Local Eclectic created such a lovely unboxing experience and chose beautiful pieces. The quality of the jewelry is definitely there- when wearing these pieces I feel like I am genuinely wearing artisan jewelry rather than fast fashion. All of the jewelry in this subscription is exclusive, so while I was able to find similar styles for sale in different colors, the exact colors and stones used in this subscription will not be for sale. If you are a fan of dainty, delicate jewelry I definitely recommend checking this out- it feels like a special once-a-quarter treat.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, you will receive the Spring box.
Value Breakdown: This box costs $99 with free shipping, which means you are paying $49.50 per piece of jewelry.
