Plein Wild
Plein Wild is an outdoor exhibition to be held at Fontainebleau State Park, built around the art of careful noticing. Each artist featured in the show was tasked with contributing work inspired by the park and our state’s natural landscape.
With a diverse, rich landscape filled with a vast variety of flora and fauna, it is easy to be inspired. The most beautiful part of taking in inspiration from a place so abundant is that, no matter how many times you look or who is looking, there is always something new to notice.
Like a portal or a frame, this pendant invites you to look through and find your own inspiration in the natural world around you. Icons of the Fontainebleau landscape wrap the round frame like friends of the park, welcoming you into a precious place that belongs to all of us.
Plein Wild Exhibition
To be held October 22–24 from 10 AM to 4 PM each day, Plein Wild will feature four Louisiana artists showing work inspired by the park and our state’s natural landscape, including plein-air painting, Gyotaku, preserved botanicals, and lost-wax cast jewelry.
In addition to the exhibition, the artists have collaborated to create a limited collection of 50 bags filled with small works and keepsakes inspired by the park. These bags will be available for purchase at the park, with proceeds benefiting Fontainebleau State Park.
MIMOSA will also be donating 50% of sales from the first 50 Plein Wild Pendants sold to Fontainebleau State Park.
The work will be displayed outdoors, turning the landscape itself into the gallery. Pieces will be available for purchase directly through the individual artists.

This pendant measures approximately 1-1/2" at its widest point. The diameter of the circle itself measures approximately 1".
*The price listed above is for the pendant only. If you choose to add a chain, the updated total will be reflected in your cart.
Made by hand in our South Louisiana studio.
Each piece varies slightly due to its handmade nature.
*Note: Sterling Silver and 14K Gold prices may vary due to fluctuation in the gold and silver markets.
Bronze first: Our bronze is a solid copper + tin alloy, lead free. Copper can react with the natural acids, sweat, and moisture in your skin. Some people may see a harmless green or blue mark. Others never do. It can even vary day to day based on humidity, activity, or hydration. This is normal and not a quality issue.
Tarnish & patina: Bronze darkens over time, just like sterling silver. That "dirty" look is natural oxidation (patina), not damage. A quick polish brings back a warm glow similar to 14k gold at a fraction of the cost. The trade off is a bit of maintenance.
Quick prevention tips:
• Remove before washing hands, swimming, showering, or heavy sweating.
• Dry well after wear.
• Apply a thin coat of clear nail polish or jewelry wax to the inside that touches skin if you are sensitive.
• Polish as needed with a treated jewelry cloth or gentle metal polish.
Want a lower-maintenance option? Many styles are also available in sterling silver or gold. Contact us and we will help you swap or upgrade.
General care for all MIMOSA jewelry:
• Check prongs that hold stones from time to time.
• If a hinge, clasp, or bracelet feels loose, please bring it in.
• Avoid harsh chemicals and cleaning products.
• Store dry in your cloth MIMOSA bag or a jewelry box when not wearing.
Professional care: We are happy to clean and check your piece anytime. Once a year is a good habit.
