The September Compassionate Living Membership from Gogh Jewelry Design is another highlight in my monthly subscription box reviews lineup. It’s lovely jewelry and accompanying tools are all meant to help you learn more about yourself, a specific deep dive into your emotions, really. Read on for all the subscription details and to find out what this month’s theme was!
The Compassionate Living Membership from Gogh Jewelry is an empowering monthly practice that’s sent right to your door created to inspire connection with yourself and Mother Earth. The intention is to use the energies from the crystals within the jewelry pieces to support change that comes from within. I was kindly sent this box for review.
This lovely delivery is a subscription box for everyone who wants to live happy and was born of the desire to spread positivity and aid conscious living. Each monthly practice (valued at over $97) contains a personalized gemstone bracelet, necklace, a healing crystal, two meditation cards (one to keep / one to gift) and your astrology forecast for the month. This personalized program is created to help you live your daily life happy, aligned with Mother Nature and the Universe. Szilvia Gogh, the creator of this box and the jewelry inside, says this is a crystal subscription box, jewelry subscription box, holistic subscription box, inspirational subscription box, and even a self-help subscription box all-in-one!
What makes this jewelry extra special, besides the uniqueness, handcrafted quality, and beautifully chosen stones, is that every detail down to the individual crystals themselves is chosen with intention. The materials utilized are of course special in that they have powerful energies, but also because they are part of a collection gathered on the designer’s worldly travels. Szilvia is a scuba diver, stunt woman, photo journalist, yoga enthusiast and world traveler who is inspired by the ocean in her creative process. The materials she collections on her trips are what is transformed into the very jewelry you’ll find in this box that’s meant to nourish the mind, body and soul.

September Box Details:
The September box theme is “Shadow Side” and invites you to get curious about the shadows of your emotions and to utilize any discoveries about them as guides to light your path to the future. This theme was inspired by a customer and friend of Szilvia and came with a written message from the inspiration herself all about her journey of self awareness and discovery that will certainly inspire further self-reflection. Here’s a closer look at the products in the September box:
Mindfulness Multi-Stone Bracelet ($29 value)
Each month a handcrafted gemstone bracelet is included. It’s personalized to your wrist size and made with carefully picked healing crystals based on the energies in the Universe to assist your practice. This month the bracelet inspired by “Shadow Work” is made with a collection of beautifully colored stones to encourage mindfulness and meditation. I didn’t get a list of all the stones included, but can only assume they are a delightful concoction of healing energies. The colors alone are healing to look at with their cool and earth colored tones that inspire feelings of being grounded just from a glance. The information card shared: “Mindfulness is the psychological process of bringing one’s attention to experiences occurring in the present moment.” The individual stones of this bracelet are a great tool to use for focus while practicing mindfulness and their colorful nature is sure to keep you connected while you practice looking inward.
Moon Crystal Pendant Necklace ($29 value)
You will also find a handcrafted gemstone necklace in each monthly box. It is also made with carefully picked healing crystals based on the energies in the Universe to assist your practice. The “Shadow Work” necklace this month is made with a lovely bright white moon shaped crystal that inspires me to find the guiding light among the dark. I love anything moon inspired and this necklace is no exception. The pendant is a nice size and the silver chain matches it so well. It’s simple design is perfect for daily wear and daily inspiration.
The pendant is made from clear quartz. The included information shared that: “Clear quartz is a traditional healing crystal that is believed to be capable of drawing out pain while amplifying energy for healing. It is also called to be the “Master Healer.”” Plus, the moon shape is said to be helpful since: “Using the lunar energy of the moon can yield incredible healing results, both physically and mentally. Moonlight has holistic healing properties and is able to cleanse your mind, body, and spirit. Harness the positive energy of the moon by envisioning your goals and dreams! I mean, there isn’t a better stone to include in this month’s jewelry for relating to the theme of “shadow work” since it certainly can take a lot of cleansing and healing to work through. This one is good to wear or keep by your side through all that self discovery.
Dragon Stone Meditation Gemstone ($9 value)
Each monthly box includes a healing crystal, a gemstone or an earth element to meditate with. You can hold it in your palm or keep it under your pillow to enhance your practice. This month the healing crystal of dragon stone was chosen. It’s a really cute little heart shaped stone that would be prefect for carrying along or stowing in your purse for authentic energies at all times. The handy interpretation card included information that “dragon blood jasper stone is found only in western Australia. Local legend there says that this stone is the remains of deceased ancient dragons – the green being the skin and the red the blood.” Another anecdote I found about it says that it connects directly to the Heart Chakra, helping you to hear your heart, and encouraging love, compassion, and forgiveness, which is absolutely perfect for the shadow work theme. A reminder to listen to your heart and trust it. I love that a new stone comes each month so you can grow a collection of these little cuties.
Affirmation Cards ($10 value)
Each month you will also receive two powerful affirmation cards to create EMPOWERING BELIEFS and set your mind on compassionate living. Keep one, gift one. This month’s message is “She believed she could, so she did.” -R.S. Grey. This simple quote is the perfect inspiration for many of life’s challenges, but especially motivating for shadow work. It’s a reminder that you have all you need within you to do anything, including the tough work of looking inward and growing from your discoveries. I appreciate the simple design, calming photo and that there is an extra affirmation card to give to a friend. Sharing is caring they say! I’ll be adding this to my motivation board to remind me I can get through hard things.
Astrology Forecast ($10 value)
You’ll receive a PERSONALIZED Astrology forecast for health, love and happiness based on your Zodiac each month. When you subscribe you choose your zodiac on the submission form and then each month you’ll get a horoscope sent just for you. I’m a sucker for reading horoscopes so I love that one comes with this subscription. I appreciate how it loosely connects to the theme in that it asks deep questions for self discovery, but is larger in it’s purpose too. My personal horoscope says I’ll see some home projects come to fruition and the new moon mid-month will bring centeredness that my living space will reflect- here’s hoping that means the new moon energies will help me get all the moving boxes cleared from the house for more peace and calm. Fingers crossed!
Final Thoughts
This is my second time trying and reviewing the Compassionate Living Membership from Gogh Jewelry and I’m just as impressed as the first time. I really appreciate the thoughtful curation of each item along with the earthy, simplicity of the jewelry. It’s fun to wear flashy accessories sometimes, but overall I appreciate these understated pieces for daily wear much more. Plus, since they are full of intention, healing energies and reminders of positive inspiration. There couldn’t be better piece of jewelry to wear every day. And the theme for this month was a perfect reminder to slow down, take a minute and acknowledge current emotions I’m experiencing in order to really understand where they are coming from. I’m so grateful for boxes like this one that not only deliver excitement and beautiful things, but also a healthy dose of inspiration. I’m curious to see where the remaining themes for the year take this box and what other personal self-discoveries come with each lovely piece of jewelry. As I’ve said before, this box is not only perfect for jewelry lovers, but anyone looking to go on a journey of self discovery too!
