Lucky Charms

Mija Children’s Jewelry

To a 6-year-old, there’s nothing sweeter than lollipop rings and candy necklaces.

But when it comes time to dress up (for real, not play), Mom looks for something a little less edible.

Mija Jewelry has just the jewels for your little lovely. The simple collection includes bangles with hearts, cuffs with flowers, necklaces with stars, and four leaf clover earrings — all of which walk the impossible tightrope of pleasing both mommy and mini.

Without putting either of you in a sticky situation.

Available at Flicka, 204 North Larchmont Boulevard, between West 1st Street and Beverly Boulevard, Hancock Park; online at mijajewelry.com.
