As a certifiable bling addict, I feel it is my mission to share with you my favorite jewelry subscription box – My Meraki Box! It’s time to review the March 2019 collection, so I hope you will join me. 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, March 2019
This little black box brings me so much happiness every month!
Meraki (v): to do something with soul, creativity, or love; when you leave a piece of yourself in your work.
This month’s theme is “The Wrap Collection”! The information card provided will tell you everything you need to know about your new customized pieces from the March 2019 My Meraki Box.
This collection was created with ‘stacking’ in mind. The leather wrap bracelets featured this month are designed to stack seamlessly for your Spring styling, or they can be worn alone – you do you! Leather wraps are my fav, so I’m excited!
Each month, subscribers are given a choice of material or color for one (or more) of the custom jewelry pieces in the upcoming box. This month we got to choose from several different colors of braided leather:
Braided Leather Choice #1 (Black)
Braided Leather Choice #2 (Red)
Braided Leather Choice #3 (Natural)
Braided Leather Choice #4 (Brown)
Braided Leather Choice #5 (Teal)
All jewelry comes nicely packaged in branded velvet pouches or small boxes, and each month a ‘thank you’ gift is included as well.
Here is my customized box fully revealed! I chose the brown braided leather because I know I’m going to be spending a lot of time outside this Spring and Summer hiking and whatnot, and I thought this natural color would go great with my outdoor active wear. And YES, that’s important.
“JAHAIRA” Two-Tone Leather Wrap Bracelet– Retail Value $84.99 (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. You can find a similar wrap in their shop here.)
This handsome wrap is made with supple Arizona leather as the centerpiece (the black), then your color choice of braided leather was added as the accent. It is held together by a square magnetic clasp finished in a brushed sterling silver.
The clasp is really strong, so there are no worries of it falling off your wrist.
It is absolutely PERFECT to complete the rugged outdoorsy look I was hoping for! It will go great with any casual outfit though, really. The leather they use is SO LUXE, I can’t get over it!
This wrap fits my large wrists like a dream, because each piece is created per the size you specify in your signup form. It is so nice not to have to worry about that.
I think this is such a cool design, and TOTALLY my style.
“AZUCENA” Triple Wrap Braided Leather Bracelet – Retail Value $69.99 (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. You can find a similar wrap in their shop here.)
The AZUCENA wrap was also created with your color choice of braided leather, and is designed to stack seamlessly with the the JAHAIRA wrap bracelet if that suits your style. Of course it looks great all on it’s own, but I’m a stacker, so I’m thrilled! It is a triple wrap of fine leather, with a magnetic wavy ball clasp finished in brushed sterling silver.
This clasp is also very strong, and I really like the design of it! According to the insert card description, this bracelet was an upgrade to their popular “Harper” Wrap in the shop. It is an ‘upgrade’ because braided leather is more expensive.
I love this on! I can’t decide which wrap I like better; they are both a win!
Another reason I liked the brown is because unlike the other choices, this leather’s coloring has lighter and darker hues throughout instead of just one solid color.
Here they are together for a totally different look!
Is it just me, or does this look kinda kinky? 😉
“AMAZONAS” Silver Hoop Earrings – Retail Value $39.99 (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.)
I adore this sleek take on the hoop earring! These babies are solid sterling silver – and they have a bold, yet minimalistic look. LOVE! I am seriously in awe that I genuinely love every single piece of jewelry I’ve ever received from My Meraki Box. I mean, when does that EVER happen?!?
If you don’t have pierced ears, or specified that you don’t wear earrings when you filled out your preferences – a triple wrap beaded bracelet was included in your box instead of these earrings to coordinate with your color selection.
Bonus Item! Peruvian Head Wrap – Retail Value $15 (Note: 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.
How fun is this beautifully colored head wrap?? They are fair trade, and each one is unique in color and made with traditional handwoven fabrics sewn by Peruvian artisans. I’m feeling a 60’s vibe!
How about a gypsy vibe? I’m digging it paired with the hoop earrings! And FYI, the necklace I’m wearing in this photo is from the November 2018 My Meraki Box, and if you are interested, you can read about it here.
So let’s recap! The March 2019 My Meraki Box came with 3 pieces of custom handmade jewelry (plus a bonus hair wrap!) for $59.99, making each exclusive item an average of $20, or less each if you factor in the bonus. The total (US) retail value of this box is $209.97, which is WAY beyond their promised value of $100! This box is SO WORTH IT, people. I continue to crush on this subscription every single month, and have never once been disappointed. If I did ratings, My Meraki Box would rank in the highest!
So what do you think of the March 2019 My Meraki Box Wrap Collection?? Let me know in the comments below! If you’d like to see my other My Meraki Box reviews, go here.
