For the Sparkly One
Jewelry is a no brainer when it comes to giving Mom a gift, but personalized jewelry makes it more special. One of our favorite Southern California-based jewelry brands, gorjana, launched three new products that any Mom would love. This dainty 14K gold “Mama” necklace would go with anything she wears. But if she needs a little shimmer in her life, you can’t go wrong with this diamond heart bracelet. It’s sweet and dainty for everyday wear. Also, we love that with every sale of the “mama” necklace at LA stores and online, gorjana will give 10% to Baby2Baby, a national nonprofit that provides children living in poverty with basic necessities. gorjana plans to donate over $50K to Baby2Baby. We love that! P.S if you wanna do some in-person shopping, check out these jewelry shops in LA here.
