Monthly XIO Bag March 2019 Review
The theme of this month’s box is “Take a Chance,” and I’m feeling lucky!
On the back of the info card, XIO lists each item featured as well as what each accessory is made of and its retail value. Each piece is made up of 925 sterling silver, and the gold pieces are plated 925 sterling silver.
My Lucky Coin Necklace - Retail Value $75
Aren’t these reflective coins so unique? I love the green gem accents!
Even though this is a necklace I probably wouldn’t choose for myself, I think I will definitely get a ton of wear from it. It is such a cute, casual piece and will pair with literally any outfit.
This necklace measures 18.5 inches, including a 1-inch extender. I found myself playing with the coin a lot while I was wearing it; I also like how it is threaded in the back and the sound it makes when you pull the chain through.
I would absolutely wear both of these coins together, but I have been known to be a little extra. I just love the look of mixed metals! Also, to achieve this look, I had to add an extender to the silver necklace. Side note: I would not, however, wear both of the earrings together. I was just trying them on together for fun.
Charmed Choker - Retail Value $55
Even though this design is pretty simple, I think it is such a fun accessory, especially layered with other baubles.
This choker measures 16 inches, including a 4-inch extender; I really like that Xio includes such long extenders for their chokers because I hate wearing necklaces that are uncomfortably tight.
The Charmed Chokers are so pretty in the light! I think either of these could really jazz up any outfit, especially for a night out.
Lady Luck Hoops - Retail Value $60
Ooh, I love a cute pair of hoops! They dress up your look so much, and the emerald coins are a fun touch to a classic style.
The backs of these hoops weren’t easy to get on and off, so I replaced them with some rubber backs, and they fit great. I love using these to keep my earrings secure, and you can find them easily to purchase online (and they’re cheap!).
This is such a hard choice; I’m not sure which outfit I like more! I can’t wait to wear these pieces for St. Patrick’s day, and hopefully, they will bring me some luck.
The Verdict: Monthly XI0 Bag is my monthly source of festive jewelry. I always feel prepared when I go out now because I know I’ll have the perfect accessories for any fun look, thanks to this subscription. Now that XIO offers a silver option, I feel like it definitely caters to a vaster audience. The “Take a Chance” theme with its green gems and lucky coins add a cute touch for St. Patrick’s day -- another great month for XIO!
The retail prices individually are pretty expensive, and I don’t know if I would pay full price for any of these pieces, but I think $70 is a deal for all three, and if you’re a subscriber, you can get 20% off any jewelry purchase on their website.
