Beau Joyau

Where Style Meets Personal Connection

Do you ever stare at your closet full of clothes and feel like you have nothing to wear? Do you have pieces with the tags still on because you have never worn them? If you would like a personalized styling experience, Beau Joyau boutique can help you create a wardrobe you will love to wear. While you are there, explore the extensive selection of Polish pottery that will add a beautiful touch to your home. 

Pam Huerta’s retail journey started with a gift of Polish pottery stoneware from her sister. She fell in love with its beauty and durability but could not find it locally. So, in 2002, she launched Select Polish Pottery from her home, offering handcrafted pieces from Boleslawiec, Poland. 

Soon after, she added women’s accessories to her inventory. Her son suggested the business name Beau Joyau, which means “beautiful jewel.” The boutique now features an ever-updated mix of clothing, jewelry, accessories, handbags, soaps, perfumes, gifts, and Polish pottery. 

In fact, Beau Joyau carries the most extensive collection of Polish pottery in Nebraska. The pottery has been made in the same way for centuries and is still hand-crafted and hand-painted. Customers will find bakeware, kitchenware, kitchen and home accessories, and seasonal items. Polish pottery is lead-free and cadmium-free, scratch-resistant, and safe to put in the oven, dishwasher, and microwave. “Polish pottery brings cheer and beauty to the table,” she said. “It adds joy to everyday gatherings with friends and family.”

Beau Joyau caters primarily to women aged 40 and over, offering clothing that combines affordability, quality, and timeless style. “We are a lifestyle boutique,” Pam explains. “We carry pieces that are elegant but not overly trendy.” You’re sure to find something you love at Beau Joyau, whether you’re getting dressed to go to school games, cook at home, run some errands, care for aging parents, dine with friends, or attend a formal event. Pam curates the inventory from a globally inspired perspective, and she stocks everything from casualwear to refined statement pieces. 

Beau Joyau carries an extensive collection of stylish jewelry, and most pieces carry lifetime warranties. “There are so many ways jewelry can enhance an outfit,” Pam asserts. If you don’t want to take your fine jewelry on vacation, you can choose some new favorites from the great selection of travel jewelry at Beau Joyau. “It can be paired with fine jewelry pieces, and people cannot tell the difference!”

Accessories like handbags, purses, scarves, sunglasses, and coats can enhance an overall look by adding texture, personality, and visual interest. And different accessories can create entirely new looks from the same outfit. Beau Joyau’s staff can help you choose accessories that highlight your unique style. 

Pam’s customer service philosophy is straightforward. “We spend time with our customers to find what works for them.” She enjoys giving customers the confidence to try new things they might not have tried on their own. “Our customers love getting personal assistance and help putting a wardrobe together,” she shares. “We have loyal customers who have been coming to us for years.”

Some of Beau Joyau’s favorite fashion trends this season include rich fall colors like greens, browns, and burgundies. Pam notes the popularity of wide-leg pants and recognizes they are here to stay. “These pants can work for all heights, if you have the right cut,” Pam notes. Looking ahead, she is already stocking stylish and elegant pieces perfect for the upcoming holiday season. 

Beau Joyau’s travel essentials include wrinkle-resistant, easy-to-wear pieces. Pam recommends choosing timeless items that are easy to maintain and can be mixed and matched, so you can cut down on the number of items you need to pack. You’ll look polished and put together no matter where your travels take you. 

Pam offers a piece of fashion advice for every woman who is trying on clothing. She says it is important to look at your full profile before making a purchase. “Just because something looks good in the front, that does not mean it looks good in the back,” Pam says. “Your exit is just as important as your entrance.” 

This season, Beau Joyau customers can look forward to seasonal shopping specials, sales events, a fall-winter fashion show, and a jewelry extravaganza. For Pam, the boutique is about more than just style; it is about people. She values the friendship of her customers and believes in giving back. “Relationships mean a lot, and I love helping our customers look their best,” she said.

Beau Joyau is located at 2947 South 108th Street, in Omaha. The boutique is open Tuesday through Friday, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You can reach the shop by phone at 402-301-7103 or find them on Facebook and Instagram.
