The Punky Jane Jewelry Song

Having fun looking back a few years when my then 4-year-old daughter grabbed some bongo drums and created The Punky Jane Jewelry Song.


And now a word from our sponsor...

Living the Beach Life – New Simply Charming Bangle

Life is better at the beach, right? There's nothing like the sounds of the waves and the smell of the salt air to bring a calm to you like nothing else.

This is one of my favorite quotes about the sea by e. e. Cummings:

"For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always our self we find in the sea."

Our new Simply Charming Beach Girl Bangle is the perfect way to show your love of the beach, whether you're on your morning walk with the sand and salt water between your toes, working in a cubicle just waiting for the weekend, or anything in between.

We can also stamp 'BEACH LIFE' if you'd like.

She Believed She Could So She Did

Let's take a look at the origin of another one of the quotes we use on our Simple Sayings.

"She Believed She Could So She Did"

I have to be honest. When I first heard this quote, I thought it was by C.S. Lewis. Not sure where I got that idea. 

Google's first result shows it's actually written by author R.S. Gray in her book Scoring Wilder, a forbidden soccer player/coach romance. Apparently, the coach is quite the bad-boy hunk!

While I may not be reading this book anytime soon, it gets great reviews and is a Top 100 Bestseller on Amazon. 

And I don't think anyone can disagree that the quote is inspirational. Whether you are trying to date your soccer coach, learn a second language, or be the best mom you can be, believing you can is the best approach.

Be sure to check out all of our Simple Sayings here. If you'd prefer gold-filled instead of sterling silver, just contact us.

Have an idea for another quote? Please email us at orders@PunkyJane.com.

Jewelry Care: Tune-up Services from Punky Jane Jewelry

While it's normal for sterling silver jewelry to show gentle wear and oxidize over time, if your Punky Jane piece is dirty and heavily tarnished, we are more than happy to tune-up your piece.

Jewelry tune-up includes:
- Cleaning and removal of tarnish on all sterling silver components [stamped pieces, jump rings, chains]
- Polishing and refinishing
- Re-oxidizing/blackening stamped characters

To show what a tune-up can do for your Punky Jane piece, we found a couple of sample pieces that had just been sitting out in the open in the studio, and unworn, for quite some time. They were heavily tarnished and didn't look very nice, but most pieces won't be this severe (unless you have an allergy). After they went through the tune-up process they were bright, shiny, and ready to wear again!

After your clean and shiny piece is returned, we recommend following our sterling silver jewelry care tips in our FAQ section or this blog post on 'Caring for Your Punky Jane'.

Before and After a Punky Jane Jewelry Tune-up

In most cases, the only cost will be $6 in shipping, which covers USPS First Class shipping and handling of your piece both ways within the United States. After purchase, we will send a pre-paid and addressed return label to you via email for you to send your piece back.

Also, just because your piece isn't as shiny as the day you got it, doesn't mean it needs a tune-up. Pieces with fingerprints and light smudges can easily be cleaned using a Sunshine Polishing Cloth. For lightly tarnished pieces, we recommend starting with our white Polishing Pads and following with a Sunshine Polishing Cloth, both available here.

PLEASE NOTE...we can only tune up and repair Punky Jane Jewelry pieces.
