Rocksbox is a jewelry styling and rental service. Members pay a flat rate every month to get unlimited access to the Rocksbox collection and the option to buy whatever they love at a discounted price. Each month, Rocksbox will curate sets of three pieces to send your way, including at least one piece from your ever-growing wishlist. Members can keep and wear the three pieces they receive for as long as they want, or they can switch out sets whenever they'd like. Rocksbox also offers a monthly credit so you can buy the pieces for less.
This is a review of the monthly plan for $21, which includes shipping to the US only.
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out our editorial guidelines to learn more about how we review boxes.)
Just like other subscription boxes, when I signed up for Rocksbox I had to set up a style profile that asked me questions like my metal preference, and which necklace, earring, bracelet, and ring styles I liked the most.
Let's check out this month's delivery!
WHAT I RECEIVED
David Aubrey Chrysalis Black & Gold Necklace - Retail Value $100, Member Price $96
1 of 4
About this item: David Aubrey's Chrysalis Black & Gold Necklace is a bold and beautiful statement piece that instantly caught my eye. Chunkier and heavier than other necklaces I ordered from Rocksbox, this 18k gold-plated design is 21" long and features a 3" extender. The chevron pattern chains are artful and have an antique look and feel, and the small round black beads and teardrop beads dress it up without overdoing it.
Condition: Great condition, aside from a minor chip in the chain.
Review: I have a pair of gold-plated brass earrings I bought in Brooklyn back in 2011 that have held up amazingly well, and therefore I'm a huge fan of brass jewelry. Since I tend to gravitate towards more understated necklaces, I took a chance and rented this eye-catching, statement piece. I love that it's black and gold and has a hint of silver too which means it'll go with everything. It is a little heavier than other necklaces and twists easily. After wearing it a few times, I decided against purchasing it because I found a chip in the chain, and it doesn't really fit very well into my wardrobe.
Hey, do you see Mr. Hoppy Golightly judging me in the background?
Perry Street Emily Ring - Retail Value $50, Member Price $42
1 of 6
About this item: Paging Rainbow Brite! The Perry Street Emily Ring is a fun, fabulous creation that seems like something Emily in Paris would wear. This 14k gold over brass ring features a rainbow of oval-shaped, multi-colored glass crystals.
Condition: Great condition.
Review: After two years of doom and gloom, I wanted to add a splash of brilliance to my hands and gravitated towards the Emily Ring. It's cheery, whimsical, and beautiful, but I decided against making the purchase because I'd prefer a size 6 so I can wear it on my middle finger. As for Mr. Hoppy Golightly, he doesn't care what's on my hand as long as I keep petting and feeding him. Silly rabbit!
Kendra Scott Miku Earrings - Member Price $60
1 of 5
About this item: These gold-plated brass earrings feature a delicate lattice-like detailing. Each earring is 1.5" long and pretty lightweight.
Condition: Great condition.
Review: This was my first-time trying Kendra Scott and I really liked the earrings. They're sweet, delicate, lightweight, and beautiful, but I sent them back because I already have a few pairs that resemble the Miku hoops. I guess I'm a creature of habit just like everyone else.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The Verdict: This month, I got a little bolder and more colorful than I normally do. Since I am a big fan of rainbows, unicorns, and dressing up, I chose a multi-colored ring, a statement necklace, and a pretty, dainty pair of gold-tone earrings that are delightful and tasteful.
Jewelry rentals are so easy. You don't need to worry about sizing, damaged items, weird smells, or wanting to keep something super expensive. Rocksbox gives me the opportunity to try before I buy which makes it fun and I love exploring items I wouldn't have otherwise considered, or even known about. Accessorizing with Rocksbox is the way to go.
The black top I'm wearing is by Alexis and from one of my first WIWTW reviews for Armoire. I found it on another site for $55! The maroon dress is a vintage Alexander McQueen I found on a designer resale site for under $100. I love a good deal.

Value Breakdown: Rocksbox membership costs $21 per month. At retail, the three pieces would cost me $173. With my Rocksbox discounts and the member pricing including the buy-all-three-items discount, the $21 of Shine Credit (the membership fee for the month, which goes towards your purchases), and the $10 buy-all-three discount, that price drops to $122.
