Glow by Local Eclectic Jewelry Review - Winter 2020
From start to finish this box had a great unboxing experience. This month, we received some art prints by women artists.
My favorite is the one by Sacree Frangine!
The info book contained more information about the designers of the jewelry we received.
Bunny Velvet Scrunchie Set, 3 ct - Buy 3 for $12 in a similar style from Free People
We received a set of velvet bunny scrunchies, and I am in LOVE. Along with helping me embrace my inner '90s girl, these are also just completely adorable- and it is pretty easy to position the bunny ears so they poke up.
La Kaiser Emerald Fleurette Ring - Buy this identical style made with diamonds and sapphires for $340
I almost never wear rings, but this is going to be the ring that changes that. Along with fitting perfectly, I think it is the perfect combination of class, sparkle, and color. The stones are CZ (cubic zirconia), but they still pack a sparkly punch, and they are set in a vintage-inspired base in 14K gold plated over sterling silver.
Kamaria Aura Necklace - Estimated Value $65 (based on similar styles from the brand)
The dreamy opal on this necklace has me swooning, and unlike last quarter this necklace actually has a chain length that should fit almost anyone. The chain is 18 inches and features a sliding lobster clasp that can adjust the length of the necklace. I wish there was more than one loop to attach the clasp to, but I absolutely adore the pave crystal setting the lab-created opal sets in. The chain is also gold-plated sterling silver, too.
Here is where the necklace rests on me with no adjustments to the length. Look at that sparkle and shine!
Verdict: This box is on the pricier end, and I appreciated that Glow by Local Eclectic created such a lovely unboxing experience and chose beautiful pieces. The quality of the jewelry is definitely there- when wearing these pieces I feel like I am genuinely wearing artisan jewelry rather than fast fashion. All of the jewelry in this subscription is exclusive, so while I was able to find similar styles for sale in different colors, the exact colors and stones used in this subscription will not be for sale. If you are a fan of dainty, delicate jewelry I definitely recommend checking this out- it feels like a special once-a-quarter treat.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, you will receive the Spring box.
Value Breakdown: This box costs $99 with free shipping, which means you are paying $49.50 per piece of jewelry.
