220 | Focusing on Community and Niche Markets | with Tiffany Joachim

Honest Ecommerce

Tiffany Joachim is the Owner and Co-Founder of Celeste Sol Jewelry.

She began her career as a Buyer, working in Dallas and New York City for big box retailers such as, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, and Ross Stores for 10 years.

When needing to relocate to Miami for her husband’s work, she decided to take the opportunity to use her knowledge as a merchant to revive and rebrand a 60+ year old family owned jewelry store located in Puerto Rico.

Launched in 2019, Celeste Sol is a fashion jewelry brand that strives to connect community, culture, and fashion, all at affordable price points.

As a first generation Dominican, Tiffany’s deep commitment to supporting and empowering Women of Color is visible in Celeste Sol, with a portion of all sales going towards their charitable partners that share in her mission.
