Confession time: I have this bad habit of aimlessly surfing the web right before I go to sleep. I know that the blue light emited from my laptop screen is bad for me, but I can't seem to help myself. It was during on of these web surfing marathons that I discovered OK1984 an online jewelry seller based in LA.
They carry jewelry lines from Kreay Shawn (famous rapper) and Evelina Barry (popular YouTuber). They have cyber sales to clear out their inventory, all old styles are ONLY $1.99. Of course immediately I began to put things in my "cart". I bought 10 things, all $1.99, for $21.91 (shipping included). After ordering I began to worry that the jewelry would be cheap and made-in-china, because how else can something be so cheap? But after about 3 weeks of ordering my package arrived and it had some weight to it. Immediately I thought some weight means that it's not made out of cheap material!
All of the products look well made and not at all cheap. All of the necklaces even have a OK1924 charm. All of the products also came individually wrapped.
This short statement necklace is the perfect blend of edgy and boho. Since I wear the scarf I'll probably use it as both a necklace and headpiece. It would probably be great to wear to music festivals. (Originally priced at $36.00)
It's been very trendy to wear minimalistic geometric designs. Online I was expecting this bracelet to be stiff and solid, but it was connected by elastic. It worked out in the end since if it wasn't elastic it may not have fit on my hands. The bracelet is is very lightweight and the color is the perfect shade of gold. (Originally priced at $22.99)
I love, LOVE tribal-esque designs!! This past winter I was in India and saw many Afghani style bracelets that were too expensive. Although this bracelet was made from different material (it also had elastic and was lightweight) the style and color is so beautiful. Love it! (Originally priced at $26.00)
These earrings were surprising. Online I thought that the middle would be black stone and was really surprised when the earrings felt so light. Upon closer inspection I discovered that they were actually leather, so cool! It unique and different. (Originally priced at $1.99)
The nose rings were what I was looking forward to the most. It came in a three pack, but for me they were just a little too big :( The blue stone on the middle one (my fav) is heavy and moves whenever I move. I'll keep on wearing them but be warned, they're big. (Originally priced at $1.99)
Totally digging this ring. Again it follows the minimalist/geometric trend. It looks great when pair with the bracelet or necklace from this haul. (Originally priced at $21.00)
These finger rings came in a 3 pack. I was a little worried that they wouldn't look good on me because I have short fingers but I had fun styling them. The rose gold ring is my favorite. (Originally priced at $21.00)
This cut out pendent necklace is on the short side in terms of length, but is great for when you want ti layer multiple necklaces together. I think its a cool design I've never really seen a mirror caged in with gold like this. It's very dainty yet edgy. (Originally priced at $19.00)
This is my favorite purchase from the entire haul. The necklace has a black triangle stone surrounded by gold arrows, another "dainty but edgy" piece. It's long enough to be seen underneath my scarves and whenever I wear it I get compliments :D (Originally priced at $21.00)
A friend of mine has a necklace similar to the one shown above, she bought hers from H&M, but I like this one better. It has more weight which makes me believe that it won't break so easily. It also adds movement to whatever outfit I pair it with. (Originally priced at $21.99)
The Verdict: Would I buy these pieces at regular price? Nope. But then again I am a broke college student. Do regret this purchase? Hell. No. I love all of the items that I bought. OK1984's quality is definitely better than things you could get at Forever21 or other similar chain stores. Many their products are even gold plated (Electric by Evelina). I've read online that they have some issues with customer service but I had no such problem. However the shipping is a bit slow. All in all I would recommend them :)
