The Amazing Jewelry of Mignon Faget - Supporting Women Owned Businesses

There are so many wonderful women owned businesses and in an effort to support them, I’m going to start a series to showcase some of my favorites! Today, I want to introduce you to the jewelry of Mignon Faget!

Mignon Faget is a New Orleans Based Jewelry company that has been designing fabulous jewelry for 50 years. Owner Mignon Faget, is one of New Orleans' premier designers of fine jewelry. Her family settled in the city in the late 18th century after leaving Saint-Domingue. Interesting fact…Saint-Domingue was a French colony on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola from 1659 to 1804, in what is now Haiti.

In these pictures, I’m wearing the Moonsnail Pacific Necklace which is strung on leather and adjustable, and the Moonsnail Narrow Cuff Bracelet. Both of these pieces are perfect for summer and island living! Be sure to check out the Mignon Faget website to read more about this interesting company, and most importantly to shop!

From the website because they say it better than I could…“Mignon Faget’s jewelry is as modern today as it was when she first began designing over 50 years ago. Drawing inspiration from the world around her, the creations feature an effortless mix of natural, organic forms and bold, sculptural lines. Mignon’s revolutionary approach to deconstructing and reconstructing recognizable shapes marks her as an unrivaled innovator in jewelry design—and also lends the pieces a timeless familiarity.
Through Mignon’s eyes, hints of New Orleans architecture, Louisiana wildlife, and everyday objects have been transformed into iconic pieces of jewelry. Since 1969, she has effortlessly blended innovation, taste, and craftsmanship in designs that will last for decades.”
