Lucid Box May 2013 unboxing and review!

A few days ago, I was sent a box from an awesome new Jewelry Subscription Service by the name of the Lucid Box! It is a subscription service in which you pay $26 a month, and receive 2 fresh pieces of jewelry delivered straight to your door, all with FREE shipping! The box of jewelry ranges anywhere from $58-$74 which is at DOUBLED the price you pay for the box! Already a good deal! The pieces that you receive each month are HANDMADE by designer/owner Anna Sabino of Lucid New York Jewelry, which is outrageous considering the amount of detail goes into the pieces. From browsing on the website, I've seen tons of necklaces that I've never seen anywhere (idea and production) and they're all amazing!

This is what I received this month! All in beautiful packaging! A Gorgeous silver drawstring bag, and beautiful blue box with pink ribbon, and a nice scroll looking letter with pink ribbon as well! As you can see, the bag has the Lucid New York logo, and the website name below.

I forgot to take a picture of the letter, but it had a picture of a door being opened and it says "When one door closes, another opens. Or you can open the closed door. That's how doors work." Haha, so funny, then it goes on to say:

"Hehe, isn't that a great quote?! Sometimes we really don't realize why certain things finish, we want to fight and keep them, continue them not being able to detach and make room, giving chance to the new. Let's try and accept the doors, which close..."



The beautiful silver silk drawstring bag housed a GORGEOUS piece of jewelry...

These chillingly beautiful earrings labeled on the paper as "Cluster Earrings!". There are so many things going on with this pair of earrings that it's actually amazing. The first 3 things from the top are little black diamond like stones that go down into a "cluster" of pearl looking beads that end with giant diamond like stones! They're just all out GORGEOUS! These earrings are a value of $29. I searched on the website to post a link for you guys, but can't seem to find it on the website. These are gorgeous, literally can't get over these!

The blue box also housed a beautiful pair of earrings...

These are the "Chandelier Earrings" and boy are they gorgeous! These are a beautiful almost matte gold finished pair of earrings that have multiple layers of chains on them, with leaves hanging off. They're "dangling" off of  beautiful stretch of what looks to be a bamboo branch, which just makes this even more gorgeous! I'm in love with bamboo, I think it's so pretty! These earrings also have a value of $29, and can be purchased here in either matte brushed gold plated, or matte silver plated!

Now I would have gladly modeled these off for you, but the unfortunate fact is that I don't have my ears pierced...I got them pierced a few years back but ended up having to close them up because they kept getting infected. I later found out that I was allergic to the nickle earrings I had been wearing, so I plan on getting them pierced again. In the mean time, I had my 11 year old niece help show them off! I also decided to, instead of hoarding both pairs until I get my ears pierced, give the first pair to my mother for Mother's Day...I just had to share the love and I knew she'd like them! Of course she did, and has worn them since!

Here is the first pair!

I really like the way these look when actually worn, and I think they looked perfect on her! They dangled, but not so much that it's overbearing and annoying. She seemed to like them too :)

Here is the second pair! They look silver in this picture, but it's because my camera wasn't flashing the right way. I really like the way these are worn too, but for me I feel they're a little too long. I like shorter earrings. She told me that they weren't heavy and didn't drag her ear down which is always a plus!

 

Overall I think this subscription service is fantastic! I love that you're automatically guaranteed OVER the amount you pay for the box, which is a mere $26! It's great if you go out a lot and enjoy having some new "bling" to show off, for a very low price. The low price does NOT affect the quality. These are VERY high quality pieces of jewelry and I look forward to purchasing some things for Christmas gifts, maybe even a few subscriptions :) Not every month will be just earrings, this just happened to be the luck of the draw...

Now if this jewelry seems a bit steep to you for whatever reason, whether you're on a budget or what not, I suggest going and "liking" their facebook page where they post jewelry deals and updates about the Lucid Box in general! It's like a one stop shop :) They also have a beautifully written Jewelry Blog in which she, Anna, talks about some latest jewelry fashion, and shows off some new stuff! It's awesome and addicting! :)

This really is a terrific service, and I hope that this post has influenced you to go on and try it! :)
