3. Ornement Jewelry
We love to mix and match our MIMOSA, and one of our favorite ways to do that is to layer in a piece from Ornement Jewelry. The mind behind the magic, Tiffanie, uses a "mix of semi-precious gemstones, natural beads, metals and occasional vintage finds" to bring her stunning pieces to life.
