Recently some folks over at a site called JewelMint contacted me about getting involved with Indie Wed. When I looked into the site more, I thought it was pretty interesting. JewelMint started in 2010 as a collaboration between actress Kate Bosworth, and celebrity stylist, Cher Coulter. It is actually one of the brands owned by BeachMint. Their 6 brands also include Justin Timberlake’s HomeMint and Rachel Bilson’s ShoeMint.
Each of these sites are meant to be a more personalized online shopping experience tailored to your tastes and style. They are also a type of membership/subscription service. When you join JewelMint, you take a quick quiz that determines your style profile. From there you are shown selections that match your style profile. You can choose from necklaces, bracelets, earrings and more. All pieces are created specifically for JewelMint and can’t be purchased anywhere else. Better yet, everything on the site is $29.99. Each month a new collection is released. All the pieces are limited editions so if you see something you like, snap it up or it might sell out.
At the beginning of the month, if you don’t like any of the selections, you can just skip that month with a click of your mouse. If you forget to ‘skip the month’ you do get charged a $29.99 fee but that turns into a credit you can use later. However, if you decide it isn’t for you, you can cancel your membership with a simple email or phone call. Easy peasy.
Looking at the site I found several pieces that I thought could be lovely bridal pieces for a more modern gal. Then there is the rehearsal dinner, honeymoon, bridesmaid gifts and so on. Really you could take care of your entire accessories ‘wardrobe’ in one fell swoop.
Now what does this have to do with Indie Wed? Well the folks at JewelMint are so sure that our guests will love their jewelry that they are sending us a big box chock full of gift cards to hand out at Indie Wed. We will be passing them out all day to attendees as they enter the show! Hooray. So what is better that stylish and affordable jewelry? Stylish and free jewelry! Yet one more reason to head on over to Indie Wed this coming Saturday.
