Why this brand, why now
Not the mass-market jewelry subscription. Closer to the curated, exclusive, creator-proximate end of the market, with a conservation layer built into the model, not bolted on. Standalone storefront pieces give non-subscribers an entry point. Subscription becomes a retention layer on a real DTC business, not a standalone bet.
Where Selvara sits
Three ways to shop
Storefront is the hero. Drop is the acquisition hook. Subscription is the retention layer.
Shop the collection
Standalone storefront pieces. Always-on inventory the creator curates. Open to anyone.
Get the Drop
One-time mystery box. Limited units, urgency-driven, shareable. Builds the email list.
Subscribe
Monthly curated edit. Three tiers. Subscribers get a 30-day exclusive window on new pieces.
The shape of the economics
We won't put the full pricing or margin breakdown on the public site. Here is what the model is built to do.
~54% gross margin · ~$1,200 to the creator per drop
At ~50 units sold per month, blended across tiers, after a 5% gross-profit donation and a structured creator split.
Detailed unit economics, LTV/CAC, and tier-level breakdowns shared on request.
How the 5% donation works
5% gross-profit donation, structured into the model
Donation comes off gross profit before the creator split. Both Silueta and the creator contribute proportionally. It's a brand-level commitment, not a line item on one side's margin.
Money flow
Product mix: exclusive and standalone
Exclusive box pieces
Designed for subscribers; held 30 days from public sale, then released to the storefront at a premium.
Standalone storefront pieces
Never in boxes; always-on inventory the creator picks for the shop.
Why the storefront model matters
Jewelry subscriptions industry-wide lose ~50% of subscribers by month 2–3. By month 6, ~60% are gone. People accumulate jewelry fast. Storefront-first solves it: churned subscribers stay in the email list and keep buying one-off pieces.
The feedback loop
Every purchase teaches Selvara
Every sale, return, and skip becomes training data for the next Selvara drop. The brand gets sharper with every transaction. The second capsule lands closer than the first.
