Rocksbox

These days, you can rent anything. I rent my movies from Netflix, and I'm perfectly happy to never buy a video again. I rent my music from Spotify, and while at first I was skeptical, thinking I would always want to own my music, it wasn't long before I was won over.

Renting fashion isn't new either - I think we all remember the big plug for Bag, Borrow, or Steal in the Sex and the City Movie, when Carrie's assistant reveals that her never ending rotation of designer bags are in fact rentals.

Rocksbox is a rental service for jewelry, however unlike many other rental services, rather than choosing which pieces you receive, you fill out a style profile, are matched with a stylist, and hand-selected pieces are chosen for you.

The service is $19 a month, and provides three pieces of jewelry at a time. You can wear them for as long as you like, and if you become smitten with something and don't want to mail it back it's simply charged to your credit card at 20% off list price.

My first box included a bracelet from Margaret Elizabeth with a discounted price of $70, a pair of geometric earrings from Urban Gem, priced at $32 and a necklace from Gorjana, priced at $52.

Of the three pieces, I like the bracelet, but I certainly don't $70 like it. I'm not partial to the earrings at all, they were too heavy and I never wore them. However, I love the necklace (it was actually one I picked while filling out my style profile). Gorjana pieces are 18k gold plated, and I have a couple so I can honestly say they hold up, but at the end of the day, I'm going to send the necklace back, and perhaps just add it to my Christmas wish list.

Rocksbox is offering me three months free to try out their service, and I'm still undecided if this is something I would continue to use after the trial. On the one hand, my jewelry box is over run with trendy statement necklaces, on the other, I LOVE buying jewelry. I think I will finish out the trial before making my final decision.
