Happy Spooky Season! There was nothing spooky about my October Rocksbox shipment... in fact, I need your help determining whether I should purchase the Kendra Scott set. They're having a sale that ends on Halloween and I can get it for 30% off.
Real quick, before we dive into this month's shipment, let's talk about Fall & Winter 2022 jewelry trends (and then you'll understand some of my choices).
Flower Power: Everything was coming up roses (and lilies) when designers sent bold floral jewelry down the runway. The Ulla Johnson, Roberto Cavalli and Miu Miu shows were in full bloom with floral earrings, necklaces, brooches and cuffs.
So Charming: This isn’t your childhood charm bracelet. From Fendi to Ulla Johnson and Jil Sander, all types of charms were seen dangling from necklaces, rings and bracelets.
Chain Reaction: While this trend has been huge (literally and figuratively), since 2021, there’s no signs of us breaking free. Fall 2022 shows saw designers like Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent and Paco Rabanne reimagine this chunky silhouette and create more minimalist designs.
Clutch Your Oversized Pearls: Not to be confused with jawbreakers, massive pearls were seen on the runways of Givenchy, Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace for a look that’s more sultry than sweet.
Cuffs & Bangles: Spotted on the runways of Alexander McQueen, Saint Laurent, Rick Owens and Louis Vuitton, statement bangles and cuffs, whether layered or worn alone, will be everywhere this fall.

Each month, Rocksbox will curate sets of three pieces to send your way, including at least one piece from your ever-growing wishlist.

This is a review of the monthly plan for $21, which includes shipping to the US only.
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out our editorial guidelines to learn more about how we review boxes.)
Just like other subscription boxes, when I signed up for Rocksbox I had to set up a style profile that asked me questions like my metal preference, and which necklace, earring, bracelet, and ring styles I liked the most.
Let's check out this month's delivery!

What I Received
Perry Street Vivian Statement Studs - Retail Value $75, Member Price $68
1 of 6
About this item: Crafted in 14k gold over brass, the Vivian Statement Studs are blooming in a trendy floral design with crystal embellishments and a high-polish shine. They're approximately 1" long and compared to other earrings I've tried recently, they're lightweight.
Condition: Excellent.
Review: Get your bloom on! As one of the top jewelry trends of 2022, I was intrigued by these sweet, delicate studs. They're a pretty and classier change of pace from the oversized and chunky jewelry I've been choosing lately, but I did not make a purchase.
Kendra Scott Maya Hoops - Retail Price $120, Member Price $120
1 of 6
About this item: Ok, so I complained about Kendra Scott in the past, but I've been uncovering some treasures. The Maya Hoop earrings are crafted in 14k gold over brass mesh-metal detailing. Featuring an earpost closure, these stunners are about 1.5" in diameter, and they are HEAVY! This set is also available in a gold/silver combo.
Condition: Brand new with tags.
Review: So, they've might've torn my holes a little bit, but I absolutely love them. Pondering a purchase... help!
Kendra Scott Maya Chain Necklace - Retail Value $120, Member Price $120
1 of 4
About this item: The chunky chain trend is here to stay and I'm loving the brilliant Maya Chain Necklace. This mesh-metal statement piece is crafted in 14k gold over brass and it's 18" long with a 3" extender and a lobster clasp closure.
Condition: Brand new with tags.
Review: I love it as a set. There's also a bracelet, but that would be a bit too much.
The Verdict
I really want the Kendra Scott set, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. What do you think about it? Should I buy it or save my money? Do you like it together or is it too much? I can't decide. Oh, and there's a catch... the items are an extra 30% off.
Value Breakdown: Rocksbox membership costs $21 per month. At retail, the three pieces would cost me $308. With my Rocksbox discounts and the member pricing including the buy-all-three-items $10 discount and the $21 of Shine Credit (the membership fee for the month, which goes towards your purchases), and my Rose Gold Rewards discount of $15.40, AND the Spooky sale with an extra 30% off, the total price drops to $169.20.
