Everywhere I go it seems, I get complimented on the jewelry that I wear. If you love bling, and want to stand out from the crowd, I suggest looking into My Meraki Box! I’m here to show you the February 2019 collection from my favorite designer! Their jewelry is not only unique and trendy, but it is also really high QUALITY. There is a tremendous amount of attention to detail using quality materials, and their passion shows. If you have read any of my other reviews, you know quality is very important to me – especially when it comes to jewelry. I have recently developed an obsession with semi-precious stones, and My Meraki Box is the absolute perfect match for me.
Wristicuffs started as a small, homegrown company and is now an accomplished indie jewelry design company offering several lines of accessories based in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada – and their designs have been featured on display and in the gift bags at the 2014 Golden Globe and Emmy’s GBK Celebrity Gift Lounges! They have photos of several celebrities wearing their jewelry, which is fun to see. They became so popular that they decided to offer a monthly jewelry box, so My Meraki Box was born as a way to offer fans new exclusive designs for a greater value.
Here are the subscription deets:
Each month, My Meraki Box will feature new exclusive designs, only available to My Meraki Box subscribers. To ensure you receive jewelry pieces that you will love for years to come, you will be able to log in and select your preference of either leather, gemstone or metal color options. We will use this information to create customized jewelry just for you in a design and color you are sure to love! Each month will feature 3+ brand new Wristicuffs designs, exclusive to My Meraki Box. Every month My Meraki Box will contain jewelry pieces handcrafted in our studio with a minimum $100 retail value.
All metal is hypo-allergenic, lead-free, nickel-free, and cadmium-free.
To show our appreciation, subscribers to My Meraki Box will enjoy special perks. Benefits include special members-only exclusive sales, a 15% off everyday discount on Wristicuffs and a custom piece every year to celebrate your anniversary with My Meraki Box.
They offer month-to-month, 3-month and 6-month subscriptions starting at $59.99; with a lower cost per box for longer subscription commitments. Upon subscribing, you are asked to fill out a short form that asks you what your favorite colors are, as well as your not-so-favorite colors, and how you would describe your personal style. I described my style as ‘Edgy Boho’ leaning toward the darker hues of blues, greens, browns, black & grey. I tell you this because each box is designed specifically with your tastes in mind, so you will see my boxes tailored to my style. Your box may look completely different!

I pay for my subscription, but there may occasionally be affliliate or paid links in my posts. Please note, however, that I *never* accept compensation in exchange for a positive review. All of my reviews are my honest, personal opinions and contain my own photography (unless otherwise stated).

My Meraki Box Review, February 2019
Your shiny treasures come in a beautiful black lightweight box; and shipping is free for the U.S. – lucky us!
Meraki (v): to do something with soul, creativity, or love; when you leave a piece of yourself in your work.
The theme for February is “The Luxe Collection”! Woohoo!
The insert cards will give you all the information you need about each item in your box. I like how the pieces are uniquely named each month, too.
The “Luxe Collection” features luxury jewelry pieces designed to seamlessly blend in with your current jewelry collection, and become staples for years to come.
Each month, subscribers are given a choice of material or color for one of the custom jewelry pieces in the upcoming box. This month we got to choose from several different designs of European leather:
Leather Choice #1
Leather Choice #2
Leather Choice #3
Leather Choice #4
Leather Choice #5
Leather Choice #6
The packaging is always so nice, and each box is stuffed full – here is a first glance at ‘The Luxe Collection’!
I REALLY look forward to unboxing My Meraki Box every single month; the wait kills me sometimes – haha! It is exciting to see what stunning creations they come up with.
‘MARCELINE’ Leather Cuff Bracelet – Retail Value $79.99 (Note: This is an exclusive piece and is not offered on the Wristicuffs website, so I obtained the value by contacting the My Meraki Box team.)
Your color selection this month was used as an accent on this cuff bracelet made from fine European leather and a magnetic clasp with a brushed sterling silver finish. I chose the fleur de lis patterned leather because not only is it beautiful, but I knew it would perfectly match a previous piece that I received from My Meraki Box!
Here is a closer look at the magnetic part of the clasp. It is very strong – there are no worries of it falling off of your wrist – plus, it is super easy to put on.
I love all of their jewelry, but I am ESPECIALLY fond of their leather bracelets! The quality of the leather is top notch, and the different clasps they use make these bracelets so unique. The Wristicuffs logo adorns the clasp this month, and makes this leather cuff really stand out!
To me, this cuff has an ‘edgy’ quality to it which suits my personality for sure. Something to note: all of the pieces that come in your box are made custom to the sizes you provide to them at signup, so you can rest easy knowing you’ll get a perfect fit every time! That is a great perk that is rare in subscription boxes.
The accent patterned leather criss-crosses over the top of the black leather on the back side. Cool, huh?!?
So I mentioned earlier in the review that I made my leather choice this month based on the fact that I knew it would go with another My Meraki Box piece I received last June, and here they are together! My vintage red leather wrap matches the red in the new cuff perfectly, and they both have the fleur de lis accent (which I love)! You can read about this previously featured wrap here. I like to stack the My Meraki Box bracelets I receive, and it seems many of the designs are created knowing that they can be mixed and matched with their other designs, giving your collection a consistently fresh look. WHICH IS AWESOME.
“CÔTE D’AZUR” Sterling Silver Earrings – Retail Value $49.99 (Note: These earrings are exclusive and not offered on the Wristicuffs website, so I obtained the value by contacting the My Meraki Box team.)
These beauties are a twist on the classic hoop earring, with an intricate filigree lotus leaf design on the outer edge. Last month, a sterling silver lotus leaf pendant necklace was featured, so now I have some earrings to pair with it! Further down in the review, you will see how it all comes together.
If you don’t have pierced ears, or specified that you don’t wear earrings when you filled out your preferences – a 22″ sterling silver necklace with a mandala design pendant was included in your box instead of these earrings. Customization is king!
These are the absolute perfect-sized hoops! Not too big, not too small. I have nothing like them in my collection, and their classic elegance can be dressed up or down. I tend to live in yoga pants and t-shirts, and one of the greatest things about My Meraki Box is that I can wear their jewelry with anything!
These fancy little blue boxes have the ‘My Meraki Box’ logo on the inside cover, and keep the jewelry safe and dust-free in my jewelry closet. Some people have a jewelry tree, or a jewelry drawer – I have a jewelry CLOSET. Soon I’ll need a jewelry ROOM.
“NICE” Solid Sterling Silver Caged Ball Filigree Pendant Necklace – Retail Value $99 (Note: This is an exclusive piece and is not offered on the Wristicuffs website, so I obtained the value by contacting the My Meraki Box team.)
WOW! Just WOW. The photos do NOT do this necklace justice. This is hands-down the coolest necklace I’ve ever seen. The pendant is a round filigree ‘cage’ made of SOLID sterling silver, and it hangs on a 30″ Italian sterling silver chain. (30″!!!) There is a surprise inside too, that begs you to investigate further…
Unclasp the lock, and you find a removable brass chiming ball that emits a subtle and calming sound as you roll it around in your hand. These necklaces were originally used as a meditation tool, and it seriously doesn’t get any cooler than this!
It was difficult to get a good picture because of all the light reflection, but I tried to get a few different angles so you can see all the intricacies.
Heads up – your dog and/or cat will flip out over this little ball, so be alert! LOL!
This is the longest necklace that My Meraki Box has featured to date at 30″, and looks great all by itself, or layered with other necklaces.
Here it is on. It is so long, that I can even wear it with a V-neck top!
I wanted to show you how awesome my new caged-ball pendant necklace looks layered with last month’s mediation collection necklaces, AND how the new earrings match, too! I’ve been getting My Meraki Box for awhile now, and there are so many great combinations I can put together.
BONUS ITEM! Sterling Silver Heart Hook Earrings – Retail Value $20 (Note: These earrings are exclusive and not offered on the Wristicuffs website, so I obtained the value by contacting the My Meraki Box team.)
Each month, My Meraki Box includes a small gift as a token of thanks to their customers.
They are so shiny! These dainty little heart earrings are apropos for the month of February, and you gotta love it when the THANK YOU gift is an additional piece of quality jewelry! These cuties are made of sterling silver.
Look how adorable these are on! They are sweet and feminine, and I love how the heart sits right at the bottom of my earlobe. These can be worn with just about anything, too.
So let’s recap. February’s My Meraki Box came with 3 pieces of custom handmade jewelry (plus bonus earrings!) for $59.99, making each exclusive item an average of $20, or $15 each if you factor in the bonus earrings. The total (US) retail value of this box is $248.98, which is WAY beyond their promised value of $100! Trust me when I tell you this box is WORTH IT. I love this subscription so much, and the customer service is outstanding as well. You just can’t go wrong!
