Brilliant #JMMystery Box Review - Box #2

So last month JewelMint decided to release a Brilliant #JMMysteryBox to start the new year off with a little sparkle. They promised each box would have a mix of at least 4 different items and a value of at least $120. I had never tried JewelMint before so I though, might as well give it a try. And lucky for me, they had a promo code for Buy 1, Get 1 for first time customers so I got two boxes for $29.99.

In my last post, I reviewed the first box and now here's Mystery Box #2!


First look of my second Mystery Box!


On Safari Necklace (Value - $29.99)  This necklace is from JM's City Safari Collection. It's definitely a bold statement necklace. I love how instead of a metal chain they have woven rope. It definitely adds character to it! It's a little weighty and I'm not sure what I'll wear it with yet but I do like it a lot.

Bare Bones Earrings (Value - $12.99 on sale) These earrings are fun and edgy. Skulls and spikes and if you look really close the inside of the skulls have a little sparkle inside.


It's A Cinch Bracelet (Value - $12.99 on sale) This bracelet is cute but a little tight on my wrist so unfortunately it's to the give away pile for this one.

Red Spiked Bracelet (Value - $12.99 on sale) I love this bracelet. It double wraps around your wrist to add more edge to it although the spikes add some edge as well.


I couldn't find these two bracelets on the site but just like all the other bracelets I'm going to value them both at $12.99. I'm thinking JM was really trying to get rid of all their sale stuff. The white one is nice but not really my taste and the silver bracelet pinches my wrist so both of these are going to be given away.


I don't think I'm going to run out of bracelets any time soon. The top one is cute with the three pyramids but again. It would be fine normally but I don't like tight bracelets. 

The one on the bottom is the Orion Bracelet (Value $12.99 on sale) and I love it. You could honestly wear it with anything which is fabulous.


Meet Backstage Necklace (Value - $29.99) This necklace is stunning! It's going to be perfect for St. Patrick's Day and for any time I just want to dress up an outfit really.


Amber Drizzle Earrings (Value - $12.99 on sale) Love, love, love these earrings! According to JM, they were inspired by Marie Antoinette. They are beautiful and make me feel like a princess when I wear them. They're my favorite piece from this box! 

In the end, this box ended up being worth $163.90! Definitely made up for the last box not hitting the $120. 
 
Overall views of each box.

I ended up getting 3 necklaces, 3 pairs of earrings, and 10 bracelets with a total value of $269.85. I only paid $29.99. I call this a definite win. I'm so happy I took the plunge and decided to buy. I will definitely be trying more mystery boxes from JewelMint in the future.

Brilliant #JMMysteryBox Review - Box #1

So last month JewelMint decided to release a Brilliant #JMMysteryBox to start the new year off with a little sparkle. They promised each box would have a mix of at least 4 different items and a value of at least $120. I had never tried JewelMint before so I though, might as well give it a try. And lucky for me, they had a promo code for Buy 1, Get 1 for first time customers so I got two boxes for $29.99. (That current promotion is still going on for first time customer as well.)

I was super excited to get my package in the mail and boy did they deliver. My boxes were packed. I was thrilled.

First look when I opened the big box.

The small box on the top and the two pouches on the right are for Mystery Box #1 and the larger box is Mystery Box #2. As to not confuse anyone, I'm going to do the pictures for Box #1 in this post and do another post for Box #2.



This Braided Bangle (Value - $12.99 on sale) is my favorite piece from this box! The bracelet has a magnetic clasp that I find myself playing with a lot opening and closing it. The bronze crystals on it give off such a lovely sparkle when the hit light hits them as well. I put it on as soon I took out it out of the box and have worn it multiple times already. It's a great addition to my ever growing jewelry collection.



Space Triangle Necklace (Value - $19.99 on sale) This necklace is from JewelMint's Space Age Collection is subtle and pretty all at the same time. Another item I absolutely love as well.


Midas Sun Earrings (Value - $29.99) These earrings are stunning! I love how the spikes on the bottom add a little edge to the classic crystals. They'll be great additions especially for spring and summer.


Cream Pave Glam Cuff (Value - $12.99 on sale) This cuff is from JM's Gatsby Party Style Collection. It's cute but a little snug on my wrist. It's more costumey than I like so it will probably get added to my stuff to give away box.


Rush of Love Bracelet (Value - $29.99) I fell in love with this bracelet as soon as I pulled it out of the little cloth bag. It's striking and definitely has a glamorous feel to it. It is a little big on me and the clasp was tricky to figure out but it would go perfect with a little black dress. 


Unfortunately I couldn't find this bracelet on the site. On my invoice they said they included a bonus piece for being a first time customer and I'm assuming this is it. It's simple and classic but does not fit my wrist. 

The total value for this box ended up being $105.95 (without the bonus piece). I was a little disappointed that it fell short of the $120 value promised but the second box made up for that.
