Opening The Box
INK+ALLOY subscribers can look forward to receiving earrings arriving in a small white box, typically with their name written on the front. Inside, the earrings of the month are packaged in a simple, low-waste way.
Here's What's Inside
Paige Ascending Blocks Beaded Fringe Earrings St. Tropez — Retail Value $40
You can always count on INK+ALLOY to send along red, white, and blue earrings in the month of July. Since this box works on a rolling subscription, if you signed up on the first day or two of the month, you might even receive them in time to wear for the 4th of July as I have in the past! Or, perhaps you're celebrating a British, French, Czech, or Norwegian holiday with this pair. But of course, INK+ALLOY goes about this color scheme in a tasteful way that doesn't seem strictly patriotic and can be worn truly any time of the year. This pair has some pale pink in the mix to neutralize things.
The design of these earrings is similar to the pair I received in May (see here), with the beads hanging from a brass triangle that in and of itself is dangling from the earring hook. I've found from frequent wear of May's pair that the triangle does tilt from time to time, though it's easy to adjust. More than just a different color scheme and pattern from May's pair, July's uses glass seed beads that are a little more delicate-looking than the others. It's a nice silhouette!
The Verdict
INK+ALLOY sent along a pair of red, white, blue, and pink beaded fringe earrings that feel as festive for the 4th as they do appropriate for all-year wear. I don't have many earrings with that pop of red in them, so this feels like a fresh addition to my collection!

Other Things You Should Know
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? You might receive a different pair of earrings from me, but they will likely be red, white, and blue. 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.
