Collections by Joya July 2018 Review
As always, my Collections by Joya box's arrival had me giddy with anticipation! Lately, Joya has been including this "thank you" card with some info about where to find them online. It's a nice little intro to the box.
All the jewelry in my Collections by Joya box was tucked in this lightweight canvas pouch per usual. I have a bunch of these collected from over the months, and I find they're good to have around for various reasons.
This month's pouch was filled with three items: two necklaces and a pair of earrings. They range from casual to dressy!
Celebration Pendant Necklace — Estimated Value $58.95
This delicate, 18K gold-plated necklace is the most classy item in July's box. It's sold in three colors on the Joya site, none of which include this particular stone. I recognize it as labradorite from the pieces I received in April's box—it's sort of a smoky blue hue with a faint iridescence—and it's hugged by sparkly rhinestones. This necklace is a little more dainty than I prefer to wear day to day, but I could see someone with a more pulled-together aesthetic rocking this to work or on a date.
Here you can see its length—I'm wearing it at 16", but it has a 2" extender.
All the Angles Earrings — Retail Value $38.95
These studs are fun for day to day, but could also be worn dressed-up. They're gold-plated with a smooth finish. You could wear them with the longest side against your face or switch it up and have the pointy part inward—while subtle, I think it would make a difference in the look!
Pendulum Pendant Necklace — Retail Value $58.95
This longer necklace is a little more my speed because of its length and bolder pendant. It strikes me as something that would be worn casually in a day-to-day look most often, but as with the earrings, it certainly offers occasion versatility! I love that the circular pendant is hammered—it adds dimension and interest.
Here's a quick shot of the gift wrap that comes in every month's box! It's a cardstock squeezebox that arrives with a pretty piece of raffia ribbon. I usually show what it looks like flat, but here it in its gift-ready state.
Verdict: Collections by Joya is one of my favorite subscription boxes due to the high quality, ethical production, and the fact that their jewelry is just so consistently beautiful! As is often the case, I fell in love with two pieces (the earrings and the long, geometric pendant necklace) and will probably pass one along (the shorter necklace with the stone). To me, that's a great setup—it's a way of treating myself each month, but also spreading the love. This box costs $49.95, including free shipping. The three items in my box added up to $156.85, which, as always, is a stellar deal.
