Business Owner
Mignon Faget is driven to design jewelry derived from natural and architectural forms found in her native New Orleans environment.

Mignon Faget began her design career in 1969 with the launch of her first ready-to-wear collection. The success of the collection prompted her to explore what might be the perfect belt, pin or necklace to enhance these ensembles. Since then, jewelry has become her all consuming interest in the field of design.

From the beginning, she has worked closely with natural forms, never simply duplicating but always extracting the substance, the essence of a particular shape…refining it to perfection. “My work is like a journal. Whatever it is that I am particularly interested in at that phase of my life comes out in my work. ” A fifth generation New Orleanian, Faget has flourished in the culture and traditions of her birthplace. Her collections reflect this.
