mintMONGOOSE December 2020 Review
When you sign up there are a few customization options. You can choose your jewelry tone and whether to have earrings or no earrings included. I opted for Surprise Me! and said yes to earrings. One notable thing about the jewelry is that each piece comes with a lifetime warranty, too!
If ANYTHING, ever goes wrong with our pieces, we will replace them. Our pieces are designed to last for years with the proper care. We don’t short on quality, and as a result, we feel confident enough in our pieces to offer this lifetime warranty on our pieces – something you won’t find elsewhere.
The packaging was so cute with a wax seal on the envelope and some cute little tags on each wrapped piece of jewelry. The piece of candy was a nice little bonus!

What a stunning card! I really love this beautiful print. This subscription is a woman/mom-owned small business and each set has an inspiration behind it which they share on the back of this card.

Sparkling Geo Necklace
This first piece is my favorite from this month with the beautiful sparkling geometric shape in the center. The multi-faceted white edges remind me of snow, making it feel somewhat seasonal, which I love, although this necklace would make a statement any time of year. While I love this piece, I was slightly disappointed to receive silver pieces again this month (I've chosen the "surprise me" option for metals), mostly because I feel like this is a very similar style piece to last month's Pearl-Inspired Necklace; another interesting shape with a sparkly center. I think it would have felt like a completely different piece in another metal.

This necklace is longer, but it's also adjustable. Here I have it on a shorter setting and then the longest setting (swipe). At the shortest, it is about 26 inches and then it goes up to about 30.5 inches with 3 other settings in between.

Sparkling Geo Earrings
These earrings are a perfect combination of the two necklaces that I received this month. They are a thin flat silver circle with a mini version of that sparkling geometric shape in the center. I love how they placed the charm vertically instead of horizontally. These are larger circles, but the earrings are lightweight and were pretty comfortable to wear.

I love their simplicity, but that little bit of sparkle makes them stand out just enough!
Here you can see them with the necklace. They go well together, but aren't perfectly matched which is fun!

Silver Circle Necklace
Our last item this month is the simplest piece. This silver circle is flat and smooth just like the circle of our earrings and it hangs from a simple chain. It is shorter than the first necklace at 21 inches at its longest setting and just over 16 inches at its shortest, again with three different settings in between.

Here you can see all of the pieces together in the first photo with the necklaces at some different lengths in the second photo.
The Verdict: This is only my second box, but so far I am really enjoying the nice mix of pieces that MintMOONGOOSE sends. I love how they have included one very simple piece that should please just about anyone along with some more exciting pieces. I thought this was a fun curation and I liked the way the earrings tied the two necklace styles together. I do wish that I had received a different colored metal, but this is just a personal opinion and I am hopeful that next month they switch it up a bit so I can get a better sense of this subscription overall! So far, this seems like a quality, affordable jewelry subscription and I'm looking forward to seeing what else they come up with!
