A New Way to Shop for Jewelry Without the Frustration

Why shopping for jewelry can drive anyone mad

What happens when you cross actress/jewelry and design maven Kate Bosworth, with a group of super-savvy Internet entrepreneurs?  Answer: You get one of the hottest new online shopping concepts!

It’s called JewelMint, but it’s not for all women.

It’s not for women who can afford to pay hundreds more than they need to for amazing, unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry designs. 

It’s not for women who have hours to spend hovering over store counters looking for just the right piece of jewelry.

And, it’s definitely not for women who don’t mind being seen wearing the same jewelry as everyone else.

But, for the woman who loves great design and great values – it may just be the best thing to happen to the world of jewelry in years.

How it works

The concept is actually remarkable simple.

First, you sign up at the company’s website.  It’s completely free to join.  

Then, take their style quiz.  It’s short and fun, but it’s actually quite a sophisticated way for JewelMint to develop an in-depth and remarkably accurate profile of your distinctive, individual style.  You pick your favorite colors, styles, and celebrity looks that you love and hate.

Then comes the really fun part:  Each month, Ms. Bosworth and her team of designers create dozens of stunning new designs--everything from rings, earrings, necklaces, and more. Then, based on your style profile, they generate a special selection of these items just for you. It’s like having your own stylist that knows exactly what you like and dislike. 

Chances are, you’ll be blown away by how well they select your recommendations based on your exclusive style profile.

Every month, your private, recommended collection is emailed to you for review. 

The pieces would typically cost at least $100 each, but because of their direct marketing approach, JewelMint is able to offer its members each item for just $29.95.  You can buy just one item, multiple items for an additional $29.95 each, or pass on the month’s selections and pay nothing for that month. If there’s nothing you absolutely love, wait to see what they pick for you the following month. There is no commitment and you can cancel anytime.

Members can get advice via videos on the site from Ms. Bosworth on how to wear their jewelry with different outfits, and her explanation of the inspiration that went into creating each item.

Shipping is free and returns are easy.  If you’re not happy with a piece you picked out, simply contact customer service and a pre-paid USPS return label will be emailed to you to return the item for free.

Ms. Bosworth and her team of designers pride themselves on creating the kind of sophisticated and original designs you would only find in antique stores or your grandmother’s jewelry box, combined with contemporary designs inspired by today’s hottest fashion looks.

Timeless designs you can cherish forever, a custom selection based on your personal taste, and prices that are 75 percent off department stores--little wonder then that the concept is really taking off.

But, best of all, JewelMint is currently offering HowLifeWorks readers an amazing, additional 50 percent off their first purchase on the site. Just enter promo code HLW50 at checkout to get the additional discount.

So, if you could use a little more jewelry in your life (and, who couldn’t?), JewelMint is definitely worth checking out.
