If you aren't familiar with Pura Vida,

Here at Pura Vida Bracelets we dream to do more. That was our inspiration behind the Charity Collection. This collection was created to give back to different causes all over the world. We are partnered with over 190 charities and have donated more than $935,358 to date. We are also a member of 1% for the Planet, meaning we donate 1% of our annual net revenue to environmental organizations worldwide. We’re constantly looking to expand our charity line and we try to support as many causes as possible.

Their About Us section is a good read, too!

Here is the set of three bracelets from the first month of the club.

PuraVidaBraceletsAugust-013

Beach Life Originals Bracelet - Value $5

These bracelets are made with wax coated threads so they are waterproof and easy to pull the adjustable bands.

PuraVidaBraceletsAugust-012

Seed Bead Tides Bracelet - Value $24

I love the little gold-covered brass charm on this bracelet, too.

PuraVidaBraceletsAugust-010

Seafoam Braided Bracelet - Value $15

And of course, these bracelets all look lovely stacked together:

These sea glass colors are perfection!

(You can adjust them to make them as loose as you like).

Verdict: I think this is a great box and I love the price point and value. $15 for $44 worth of bracelets is great! The bracelets are well made and the designs are lovely, too. What do you think of the Pura Vida Bracelets Club?

Hello Sonja,

Thanks for contacting Pura Vida Bracelets Customer Support!

It’s very safe! All purchases are on a safe and secure network. In our system we do not see any credit card information for your security purposes.

Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help!

Hi, everyone. This is the response I got from pura vida. Nothing about encryption, or me being hacked, so I leave it all up to you whether you can trust their site. I would like to continue this sub, but as I said before, I will call them with my cc info, I will NOT be putting it on their site! Sorry it took so long to put this on!

Just so everyone knows, you don’t get a free bracelet for sharing a photo & submitting it. You get a code for $5 off a purchase of $20 or more that expires 2 weeks after you receive the code.

Ok, will do. I emailed pura vida about this situation in the very early morning on 8/9, and there has been no response as of yet. I do like the bracelets, but if I decide to keep this sub, I will be calling them with my new card information. I won’t put it on their website!

I received my first club package today in my mailbox. It arrived exactly on the day that was estimated to on my shipping info. I received Life in Color Original, Seed Bead Neon Indian, and Gold Hamsa in cream. They all work well together. I love that I would not have picked these colors on my own, but after receiving them I feel they look great with almost everything! Looking forward to building my collection with next month’s shipment.
@ Sonja – please keep us posted regarding your situation, that is concerning

Your’e welcome Rhi. It has been very frustrating! At least the hacker didn’t get a penny, because my bank shut my card down right away, they are very vigilant, but I couldn’t use it either.

I don’t think this website is safe or secure! About 2 hrs. after I made purchases at pura vida, someone had my debit card info, and they were already trying to make purchases with it! I didn’t use my card any where else that day. I emailed them about it, and have not received a response, even though they say they will get back to you within 24 hrs. It’s been well over that now. So, I would suggest using caution on this site!

I signed up 4 or 5 days ago and I haven’t had any problems at all with my debit card.

Oh wow! That’s scary! I’m so glad you posted this, Sonja! I had just asked to sign up for this for my birthday! I am definitely NOT going to be doing that now! Thank you for letting us know! You probably just saved my husband and I A LOT of frustration & heartache!

I don’t even wear stuff like this (I always wear silver) but I have looked at this review like 5x today and went on their website to sign up 2x… it’s this site! It sucks you in! I will probably end up starting this sub…

I missed the initial New Sub about this one . Darn!! I just subscribed after I saw this review and checked our there site. What a great company and mission statement . I love every day bracelets like these and can’t wait to get my first box! I can see this making a great gift sun box also. Thinking of my 18 year old daughter , teen and tween neice’s …. I will be the coolest auntie at Christmas if I order this for them!!!

Very Very cute. What I will say is I don’t think I could ever buy a monthly subscription of these. I know they probably took a lot of time to make them, very unique, and well made too. Great cause is the main reason I would buy a month for sure but for me i wouldnt buy the subscription.That is just little old me and my taste. We are all different. I would love to hit up the sales though. Great review and very interesting …love thus site. You guys are all so good at what you do…. I have to read this email EVERYDAY…. ?

So excited for this sub. I have a sub that I will change up every couple of months, just so I can try something new on top of my Ipsy & Sephora. Right now I have Scentbird & after seeing this, I know what my next experimental sub will be! I’m obsessed with their bracelets. Seriously. Last order I placed in May was over $70 & it was mostly for me! So, if anyone want to swap their Pura Vida bracelets, I’m on the MSA swsp site & ready to take requests! Lol!

i adore pura vida bracelets, i just made a couple orders last weekend when they had a 33% off sale. i got a save the sea turtles pack of bracelets for my mom’s birthday (she loves sea turtles) and i got their galaxy clutch and the cat rescue bracelet pack for myself. i love that their products are reasonably priced but also that it supports great causes/gives back to the planet. i am definitely signing up for their monthly club.
