Opening The Box
INK+ALLOY subscribers can look forward to receiving earrings arriving in a small white box. Inside, the earrings of the month are packaged in a simple, low-waste way.
December's box comes with a holiday season to-do list with festive ideas, and a recipe for chocolate crackle cookies. The day of the month you signed up for your subscription is the day each month's box will be processed—if you're considering signing up, I suggest doing it early in the month, if for no other reason then so your holiday box comes early in December!
As a little bonus, subscribers are given a code for 20% off sitewide, valid January 1-February 28, aka after all the holiday sales have ended.
Here's What's Inside
Billie Mixed Horizontal Stripes Beaded Fringe Earrings St. Moritz — Retail Value $40
Last month I was pining for warm-toned holiday earrings, and this month delivered! They're a white, gold, and silver combo, but to me they read as gold-forward, and it's that warmth I love. For late-in-the-month subscribers like me, this pair that's just as fitting for NYE is fantastic. But even if I'd received them earlier in December, they would've gone great with my red plaid Christmas dress.
Do you think these sparkly earrings could be worn for everyday? Sometimes I fear that if I wear too much sparkle on a random Tuesday, I'll be perceived as trying too hard—then again, who cares? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on whether this pair seems special occasion vs. versatile for day-to-day.
The Verdict
For December, INK+ALLOY brought sparkling beaded fringe earrings that are as suited to holiday as they are to New Year's festivities. I'm still deciding whether I think I'll reach for them throughout the week or save them for dressier occasions, but either way they fill a hole in my collection by being something that's more subdued in color but still sparkly.

Other Things You Should Know
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes, but they might be in 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.
