Opening The Box
INK+ALLOY subscribers can look forward to receiving their earrings arriving in a small white box, typically with their name written on the front. Sometimes there's a card included that offers information about INK+ALLOY's charitable giving and care instructions for your new earrings—not this month! Since I've been a long-term subscriber of the INSIDERS Club, I know that it's recommended not to shower or swim with my handmade earrings on, so I'm fine with the low-waste no-card approach.
Every now and then INK+ALLOY subscribers will be surprised with an extra pair of earrings or a bracelet. It happens a few times per year, and this is one of those months for me. Hooray!
Here's What's Inside
Fiona Angles Beaded Fringe Earrings — Estimated Retail Value $35
Cue heart eyes! I am in love with these vibrant fringe earrings. I appreciate that their color combo is a little out of the ordinary, and that the angled fringes have a little extra flair at the tips. I put these earrings right on the day they arrived and have worn them literally every day since.
This pair is similar to the Charlotte earrings I received in the September 2022 box, which at the time felt like a perfect fit in my wardrobe—in the years since I noticed I wasn't reaching for them much because they were too similar to colors I was already wearing, and they felt too matchy. So I very recently passed them along to a friend. She was super hesitant to take them from me because she thought they were so 'me.' No more than a month later this very similar pair arrived, and feels very fresh for me. I'm really happy with how it worked out!
Stella Confetti Earrings — Retail Value $37.50
My bonus earrings this month are more razzle-dazzly. They're post earrings with large confetti-style black, white, and gold beads spiraling around them.
I actually like them better on than I thought I would. They felt "special occasion" to me on first glance, but really, they don't have to be!
The Verdict
INK+ALLOY delivered two pairs of earrings this month, both different takes on beaded artistry. The fringed pair is my new go-to accessory. The shiny pair is a fun change for me, and I can't wait to see what outfits they make their way into.
Value - Was This Box Worth It?
The Cost: $25 per month + free shipping.
Value Breakdown: The INK+ALLOY Insider subscription costs $25 per month + free shipping. August brought me two pairs of earrings that add up to $72.50 (calculated using an estimated value for the Fionas and a different retailer for the Stellas, because I+A doesn't currently have them on their site). That's a 65.5% discount through the box. My goodness that's an impressive value!
