The right jewelry always makes me feel more put together, but I don’t have the time to shop in-person to find a few key pieces that I really love (busy moms, you know what I'm talking about!). Honestly, no jewelry has ever really felt like "me" besides my wedding ring.
Enter Talisa—a monthly personalized jewelry box with a free try-on period and generous return policy. After reading up on their glowing reviews and dreading another trip to the mall to try on mass-produced jewelry that will probably tarnish (ugh), I decided to give it a try.
Here’s how it went:
Getting started takes 10 minutes or less
To get started, all I had to do was take a free style quiz, so Talisa could learn about my preferences and curate a personalized box tailored to my style.
Here's how it works:
- I received 3 personalized items (sometimes you'll get more) curated by my stylist, ranging from $49.95-$149.95.
- I had 7 days to decide what I liked or didn't like. A $40 styling fee goes towards what I keep (just pay the difference).
- Sending back jewelry is completely free—even for items with personalized engraving!
I was pretty impressed to find out that Talisa's curated stylists hand-pick pieces from eclectic designers. Meaning: you won't find any of this at Macy's.
My jewelry is truly personalized to me (and only me!)
Thanks to free express shipping, my box arrived rather quickly. It was gorgeously wrapped, which made me feel like I was receiving a luxurious gift.
After opening it, I was in awe at how personal it felt. Not only were my custom engraved items beautiful, but I received a letter from my stylist detailing each personalized item.
I'm over-the-moon in love with my gold heart necklace, which has the names of my three children engraves on the beads. I haven’t taken it off since I got it—it’s that special to me.
The letter even included a QR code that I could scan to leave feedback about what I liked and didn’t like, so Talisa could continue to get to know my preferences. Extra touches like a polishing cloth make caring for my pieces easy.
My stylist knew exactly what I was looking for
I've done a jewelry subscription box before, but I ended up returning most items—either they looked cheap, they didn't go with my outfits, or they just didn't align with my personal style. I swear, my stylist knew what I wanted when I didn’t even know it myself.
I received a chic pair of small, gold-plated hoop earrings that work perfectly for everyday wear. They’re easy to pair with a casual outfit or dress up for a date night. I also loved the gold bracelet, which complemented the earrings perfectly.
Apart from loving how personal everything felt, I loved how high-quality everything was. This is a HUGE deal: Nothing tarnishes and everything is secured with clasps and backings!
Their gold pieces are made with 1.5 micron gold plating (super durable) or gold vermeil. Gold vermeil looks and feels like gold, but it’s a fraction of the price. Their silver pieces are 925 sterling, which is the best of the best.
I’m never shopping for jewelry on my own again
My first Talisa Box won’t be my last. I was so impressed with the convenience of having a stylist curate personalized jewelry that I could try on from the comfort of my own home, and I loved everything they sent.
Every piece suited my style, and I love how I can get anything custom engraved by request—it’s perfect for when I need to give a gift! I’m so glad I never have to shop for jewelry on my own again—Talisa's got me covered!
