The earrings of the month arrive in this small white box, simply packaged with an info card on top and your earrings tucked underneath. The card gives a preview of the month's earrings, showcasing all the potential colorways subscribers could receive.
Here's What's Inside
Info Card
1 of 2
This month's info card is going heavy on the dreamy autumnal imagery, and yes, I would love do all the fall things in these earrings—but really I can see them being fun for all seasons! The card here offers a 15% discount code for subscribers to use on a non-subscription purchase.
Coral Fringe Hoop Seed Bead Earrings — Retail Value $33
Umm, fun! These earrings are bright and bold and such a noticeable pop of color. I think they would look gorgeous with any skin tone or hair color, which is generally true of corals, don't you think? The INK+ALLOY site only has this coral colorway listed right now, but if you go to the INK+ALLOY info page you can see a photo of this style in a whole rainbow. I wonder if they'll bring any of the other colors back. Honestly, I would wear any of them.
1 of 2
I had fun playing with shades of blue in my styling of these earrings. Normally I'm a warm-tone fanatic, but something about the contrast here felt right. Earrings are my favorite type of jewelry, and I have all kinds of shapes, colors, and silhouettes, but I never thought of myself as a hoop person—but INK+ALLOY has had me re-examining that claim. They've sent me some hoops I like, hoops I didn't like, and then these ones are a take on hoops that I LOVE.
Verdict
I've been really pumped about a number of earrings that INK+ALLOY has sent me, but this pair might be my favorite so far. They're bright, bold, and super-visible. Such a cute take on a hoop earring.
Value - Was This Box Worth It?
The Cost: $20 per month + free shipping.
Value Breakdown: The INK+ALLOY Insider subscription costs $20 per month + free shipping. For November, I was sent a pair of beaded, fringey hoop earrings that retails for $33. I would easily pay that much or more for this pair if I encountered them in a boutique, so $20 is a steal.

Other Things You Should Know
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes, but you might receive a different colorway. INK+ALLOY functions on a rolling subscription model, so your order will ship 1-2 business days after you've placed it and then recur on that same day each month.
