Your Bijoux Box October 2022 “Harvest Moon” Review

Your Bijoux Box is a monthly jewelry subscription for $49.99. Each box contains 3 pieces of custom-designed jewelry, exclusive to the box, plus a bonus item, with a total retail value of $200.

Additionally, Your Bijoux Box offers several metal options. This month’s designs are plated in Sterling Silver, but there is a gold-only option. Besides metal preference, you can also select whether you want earrings or not and put in your ring size.

I also must give bonus points to Shana, the owner, because she’s happy to work with you. Some months, I want to gift my set to my mother or sisters (who do have pierced ears), so I just message Shana and ask for earrings that month. It’s never been a problem for her to make that happen!

This box was sent to us free of charge for review. (Check out our editorial guidelines to learn more about how we review boxes.)

First Impressions

 

This month's theme is "Harvest Moon.” A harvest moon is the fullest moon closest to the autumnal equinox. That makes this set a great way to welcome autumn, but can easily be worn anytime of the year.

I’m happy to report that each piece of jewelry arrives in its own plastic bag. This prevents them from tangling in transit. They arrived in a box with a perfectly coordinated silver sticker on it. New boxes are coming, but due to a paper shortage, they’re not yet ready.

Bring On The Bling!

Harvest Moon Charm Necklace

 

This charm necklace is so fun! The charms are removable so you can switch them out, or add more to the necklace. There’s a ton of room for more charms and they’re super easy to open. There are two charms included with this necklace, but the charms from the “Follow Your Bliss” necklace can be added or mixed with these as well. I love how easy it is to personalize and really make this necklace your own!

The first charm on this necklace is a moon and star, with many sparkly Cubic Zirconias set into it. The other charm is two sided so you can wear it either way! On one side, there is a large moonburst with pave-style CZs adorning it. I love that it’s not just a typical star shape; it’s more elegant, unique and grown up. On the back, the words: “you are the sun, the moon and the stars” are stamped deeply into the metal. They're definitely not going to rub off, no matter how often you wear it.

Harvest Moon Ring

 

This ring is lovely! And the best feature is that it’s adjustable in a clever way. Unlike those cheap rings with the opening at the bottom (that pinch the tender flesh of your inner finger), the opening on this ring doesn’t look out of place, it’s built into the design. The band is open on the top and you loosen (or tighten) it by gently moving it to fit your finger. It adjusts to fit perfectly while still looking high-end and the metal is thick enough that I have no worry about it breaking.

The design perfectly matches the other pieces and brings a ton of sparkle as you move your hand; those genuine CZs really catch the light. My dear friend, Jamie, modeled for me this month and loved the bracelet and ring duo so much that I was happy to give them to her. (However, I find the necklace impossible to part with!)

Harvest Moon Bracelet

 

I just love how much those CZs sparkle and shine in the afternoon sun!

There’s such attention to detail that even the little stoppers at the end of the chain have matching sparkly CZs! More importantly, a great feature of both the bracelet and necklace, is that there are sliders on the back of each to adjust them to the perfect fit. As someone with Psoriatic Arthritis, I’m super grateful that the slider makes putting on my jewelry quick, easy and painless!

Harvest Moon - Whipped Body Butter - Handmade by Shana (the owner of Your Bijoux Box)

The bonus item this month is another delight, handmade by Shana (owner of Your Bijoux Box). Fittingly, it's called “Harvest Moon” and the scent is described as “sweet cinnamon and pumpkin.” First, let me say that I’m not a fan of food-scented body products. So when I saw the scent name, I was worried I wouldn’t like it. The scent was very strong when I removed the lid, but once I put some on, it immediately mellowed out. I’m amazed at how much I like it. It has a lovely and sweet but not overly foodie scent.

The feel is similar to Shana’s past body butters: incredible. The box insert explains that it contains aloe vera for extra moisturization. And it delivers! It’s thick, rich but absorbs quickly without leaving an oily residue. I keep it on my nightstand and apply it to my hands (paying extra attention to my cuticles) nightly. I’ve only had it for several days, but my hands feel great and my cuticles are looking so much better!

The Verdict

 

If you’ve read my past reviews of this box, you’ll know that I’ve subscribed to Your Bijoux Box for over five years. And every month I’m still elated to open the little blue bag.

The “Harvest Moon” collection is beautiful and very trendy, but in a timeless way.

I feel that Your Bijoux Box jewelry is a step above most jewelry subscriptions, because the jewelry is dipped in sterling silver or 18k gold. Also, unlike most jewelry boxes, the stones used aren’t cheap pieces of glass; they’re genuine CZs that sparkle like crazy.  CZ, or Cubic Zirconia, is a manmade stone that is harder than most gemstones (meaning less likely to chip or break) and is close to the shininess of a diamond. Thanks, Wikipedia!

As for the stated retail value of $200, I feel it is more than fair. Cubic Zirconias, sterling silver or 18k gold plate and the fact that you receive gorgeous, high quality jewelry that is exclusively found in this box, is definitely worth at least that much.

All of these pieces of jewelry were designed by Shana, the owner of Your Bijoux Box. It’s obvious she puts a lot of care into every collection. Each set isn’t just beautiful, it’s well planned. All the boxes have themes that are timely and fit the season.

To Wrap Up

Can you still get this box if you sign up today?

Technically, your first box will be the November box. However, if this October collection hasn’t sold out, you can contact Shana and let her know that you want this to be your first box. You can also go to Your Bijoux Box’s website and purchase this, plus other past boxes that she still has available.

Value Breakdown: This box cost $49.99, which means each of the 4 items cost an average of $12.49 (counting the whipped body butter. That’s an amazing value for-one-of-a-kind, higher-end jewelry.

I prefer gold, but Shana has great taste and is a wonderful person. I have bought BB on and off since 2017. I love the sparkle and look forward to seeing what she reveals for December!
