Rocksbox: The New Way to Buy Jewelry
Are you a jewelry fanatic who loves to try out new styles on a consistent basis? If the answer is yes, then I have the perfect solution just for you! Rocksbox is a premium jewelry subscription box that brings you an ever-rotating selection of jewelry, chosen just for you and sent directly to your door.
I was recently selected by Rocksbox to become a It Girl and I can honestly say that my first box did not disappoint. I received a pair of Perry Street Julia Earrings, the Kendra Scott Brennan Ring Set in Platinum Drusy and the CC Skye Plain Nail Bangle in Silver. Since I like to change up my jewelry on a regular basis, adding these three pieces into my daily wardrobe was quite fun. The earrings gave me a pop of color with a casual look while the rings and bangle added a little bit of edge to my normally simple style. I am sending back my first box and I can’t wait to see what I get to style from my next Rocksbox!
For just $19 a month you can become a Shine Insider which gives you unlimited access to try, buy and swap designer jewelry. You will get three hand-selected pieces in each box and the best part is that you can return your Rocksbox pieces anytime and as often as you like. Every set has 3 pieces of designer jewelry, worth an average of $200 per set.
Here is the best part…Rocksbox is so kindly letting my readers try their service FREE for one month!! All you have to do is enter the code kindlywithkxoxo at checkout on rocksbox.com! Who doesn’t love a free month of jewelry?!
I can’t wait to share my jewelry discoveries with you! If you have any questions on how Rocksbox works, please feel free to email me! And if you decide to try their amazing service (which why wouldn’t you for a FREE month), tag me in your social media pictures and I will share them on my page!! Enjoy your jewelry!

Valentine's Day Jewelry featuring Sunday Girl
With Valentine's Day coming up, I have found the perfect gift for everyone in your life. Sunday Girl's 143 bracelet is perfect for your best friend, boyfriend and even your mom! See how I wear mine and check out an exclusive interview with Sunday Girl Designer/CEO Amy Di Lamarra!
In 08’ (when the economy was really tanking) I had to make a really tough decision to close down my handbag and belt brand Kudra after 5 years in business. One of the first things I did after that was doing private label jewelry design, one of the clients was Badgley Mischka. It was the first time I really got into jewelry design and it was for couture pieces so I could be really creative and even a bit over the top. It opened up a whole world of design I had never considered before. I did a lot of different freelance jewelry designing over the next few years and in 2011 I officially put together my own line of jewelry and began to sell wholesale.
How does your design process work?
I work the designs in a few different ways. Often I start with a motif that I want to explore with a casting like the lattice petal. After that I play around with variations on that theme. I think about the different jewelry pieces for that central piece for different necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Sometimes I’ll have the idea for the style of the piece like the cluster necklace, then I just play around with different variations of stones. Sometimes I’m totally inspired by a particular stone, like the Sunset necklace, and the necklace comes together around that.
What else goes into your business? How do you incorporate the local Los Angeles community?
In order to create cast pieces, I do drawings or I make initial samples out of wax or metal, from which a mold is made. My castings are all made locally in Los Angeles. I like having all my suppliers close by. I know them and their work and they know me. Those relationships mean everything. I also have a pieceworker who assembles jewelry and makes all the 143 bracelets and necklaces, (she has much more nimble fingers than I do).
There a lot of things that go into my business aside from design and production, a huge one is maintaining my own website, social media outlets etc. as well as other sites where I sell like Scoutmob.com and starting this year Bluefly. I’m also constantly working on getting systems in place to make the work flow more smoothly and save me time. Things like inventory systems and customer relationships are big ones and are constantly being tweaked and improved. I don’t have staff for most of these things. I have to be organized so I don’t waste a lot of time.

I have to be organized so I don’t waste a lot of time.
Can you explain how you came up with the idea for the 143 bracelets?
I was actually just planning on designing a cute seed-bead friendship style, layering bracelet. I have to credit my husband for coming up with 1 4 3. Way back before texting, he used to leave me notes that would say 1 4 3 instead of I love you, it was our little code, (turns out it wasn’t just us). Anyway, it became the perfect way to set these pieces apart from other similar style jewelry. It’s also open to a lot of possibilities for expanding the collection.
What are the three pieces of jewelry that you think every woman should have in her jewelry collection?
Fun dangle earrings, a great chunky ring, and an interesting mid length necklace that you can throw on with literally anything, to give you that little extra bit of “fancy”, even if you are just running to the grocery store.
What advice can you give women looking to start their own business?
Start where you are, don’t keep putting it off because of unrealistic expectations or perfectionism. Get creative and find a way. I started my business when I was pregnant with my son and all my money was set aside for baby stuff. I’ve had to grow slowly and I’ve made much wiser business decisions as a result.

Summer Favorites - Jewelry
With summer fast approaching, I wanted to share some of the baubles that I have been lusting after. In the summer I usually live in either dresses or basic tees and shorts, so adding a great necklace or pair of earrings is an easy way for me to put my twist on a simple outfit. Accessories just give that little burst to every great outfit. My go to jewelry designers are Kendra Scott, Stella & Dot, BaubleBar and Kate Spade.
Here are some of my favorite baubles for the summer!
