Gold Hook Earrings {the Thyme Subscription}

With the New Year upon us, the first item in our Thyme subscription has arrived. A pair of simple, beautiful made hook earrings was delivered to our subscribers by Melissa at Simply Me Jewelry. These minimalist earrings are sleek and elegant, adding just the right amount of detail and shine to any outfit. As always, the packaging deserves almost as much attention as the hook earrings and shows how much thought and care goes into every package that Fair Ivy subscribers receive.

Let’s take a look at the package that has been sent to our Thyme subscribers and the lovely wrapping it arrived in.
