There were some hiccups this month, and one issue was my fault. The other was a glitch in their software platform.
Here's the deal: when it's time to get your new set, RB presents you with three different options—most are from your favorites list. You then have 24 hours to confirm the set or swap out pieces. This time there appeared to be a glitch in the system because every time I tried to swap out a pair of Kendra Scott earrings that I rented in the past, they would reappear. After many tries, I gave up and confirmed the repeat set. After all, they're very versatile and pretty, but I've rented them before!
Rocksbox is a jewelry styling and rental service. Members pay a flat rate every month to get unlimited access to the Rocksbox collection and the option to buy whatever they love at a discounted price. Each month, Rocksbox will curate sets of three pieces to send your way, including at least one piece from your ever-growing wish list. Members can keep and wear the three pieces they receive for as long as they want, or they can switch out sets whenever they'd like. Rocksbox also offers a monthly credit so you can buy the pieces for less.
Concerned about cleanliness? Each piece is sterilized with alcohol jewelry cleaner using medical grade products and handled with jewelry experts wearing gloves.
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!

The Verdict
I love the Lele Sadoughi Crystal Lily earrings and couldn't wait to wear them throughout the holiday season, but they disappeared. I only wore them for the rental pictures, and I always place my jewelry in the exact same spot in my apartment, but when I went searching the next day, they were gone. I tore my place apart and checked the couch, under my bed, in my pockets, and even searched through some of Mr. HGL's stuff. I wondered if maybe he saw them and moved them, but he doesn't really carry things...he just throws them out of his way.
I had no luck, so I contacted Armorie and Rent the Runway to see if I accidentally placed them in one of the return bags—I believe this is what happened—and they said they'd reach out to me if they found anything. I'm still waiting for the earrings to reappear.
So, I put my tail between my legs and contacted Rocksbox to explain my dilemma and find out what I should do next. I was prepared to pay for the earrings, but I guess since this is the first time anything like this has ever happened, they told me not to worry about it.
I'm super thankful for their awesome customer service, and the response time was quick and very helpful. While I feel terrible that I lost the earrings, I still feel like they may reappear and in which case I'll send them back. I only wore them in my apartment, so where else could they be? Hmm.
Value Breakdown: Rocksbox membership costs $21 per month. At retail, the three pieces would've cost me $383. With my Rocksbox discounts and the member pricing including the buy-all-three-items $10 discount, the $21 of Shine Credit (doesn't look like this applied this time), and my Rose Gold Rewards discount of $19.15 the total price for the three items goes down to $353.85.
