Treat Yourself to a Your Bijoux Box Review and Giveaway

Lately you may have noticed a new trend: monthly subscription boxes. Essentially, you subscribe to a monthly service and receive a box full of goodies each month. It’s sort of like Netflix for everything else; you can find subscriptions for all kinds of different products now. You can get makeup, food, pet goods, shoes, and now even jewelry!

Your Bijoux Box is one of the newest monthly box subscriptions on the market. If you subscribe, you receive a box with 2-3 curated jewelry pieces delivered to your door each month.

We were invited to try out Your Bijoux Box for the month of September. I was excited, because I love fashion jewelry, but I was also skeptical. Would these be nice items, or would they look cheap? If you wear fashion jewelry, you know there can be a fine line there. I anxiously awaited the shipment, and when I received the box and opened her up, I actually squealed a little bit. The pieces were gorgeous!

September’s Your Bijoux Box contained two beautiful necklaces. The image above is the official image from the Your Bijoux Box website, which I’ve included so you can see the items in studio lighting. The remaining images were taken in my home.

Upon opening Your Bijoux Box, each piece will be packaged in its own velvet pouch. Fancy! Your box will also contain a note with information about that month’s items, as well as a note with instructions for caring for the jewelry.

The first piece is this vibrant Capri Choker. Just look at those beautiful Mediterranean tones!

From the information card: “A statement choker is the piece of the moment and this one will add posh pizazz to essentials that you already own. With beachy blues and greens and cocoa browns, it will easily take you from Summer to Fall.”  (If you’re wondering about the “cocoa browns,” they’re referring to the two stones on either side of blue stone in the center piece).

I love these colors and the different beading designs. I think it really blends basic stones with statement pieces perfectly.

The necklace is described as a choker, and it’s definitely short, but it’s not what I think of when I hear “choker.” I found there was enough length (the chain is adjustable) that you could simply consider it a short necklace. The colors would be perfect for the beach, but work year round. It’s dressy, but it could also be dressed down with a cute white top, dark jeans, and some navy flats.

The second piece is the stunning “Blushing Flowers Necklace”. Oh my Gatsby!

From the information card: “A great neutral floral necklace worn with chocolate, creams, and mauves. Perfect in the Fall with an ivory cashmere sweater and ivory skinny cords. Just add some brown suede riding boots for a great autumnal look!”

I fell in love with this necklace as soon as I saw it. Maybe it’s because the recent remake of The Great Gatsby, but I’ve had Art Deco and the Roarin’ Twenties on my mind, and this necklace would be perfect for that era.

This necklace is slightly longer than the Capri Choker. My photos don’t do it justice, but when the light catches the opalescent pink tones, it’s quite impressive. While the dominant tone is a warm pink, I found this also worked perfectly with a peach top; peach really brings out those faint, but warmer, brown tones. The styling card suggested cashmere and corduroy, but I would go above and beyond that. I think it deserves to be shown off with something glamorous! (Side note: if any of you were planning to be a flapper girl for Halloween, this necklace is perfect!)

Overall, I was extremely happy with the items. The quality of the necklaces is very good, and they are absolutely on trend. The cost for a Your Bijoux Box subscription is $35 a month and each box features 2-3 gorgeous pieces.  The pieces included are a surprise, but they’re valued at $70 and often more.  If you have a “jewelry habit” like me, consider a subscription–treat yourself!
