About Mignon Faget

 
Mignon Faget - Iconic Since 1970

Life is made up of stories
And the way we tell them --
That’s what makes us who we are.

Some people write their stories in ink.
Some people tattoo them on their skin.
But some of us wrap them in silver and gold.

We set them in stone and display them like jewels,
putting them on and taking them off as the moment strikes us,
Wearing them like badges of honor.
Or battle-tested armor.
Or talismans that stack the deck in our favor.

We open our boxes of juju and gris-gris
Mixing and matching the stories of our past
With our hopes for the future,
Searching for that perfect recipe --
For whatever the night has in store,
Whatever the day requires.

A little extra luck around our neck.
A reminder of home hanging from our ears.
An old adventure wrapped around our finger.

Our favorite stories on full display,
Summoning the powers of our former selves
In hopes of conjuring a new one --
One who just might return home
With another story worth telling.


about us

Like many design houses, Mignon Faget bears the name of its founder. Mignon sought to push the boundaries of design, striving to create a brand that stood apart from her peers. She began with handcrafted fine metal designs, each one shaped by the vibrant scenery of her greatest inspiration—New Orleans.

More than 55 years later, Mignon Faget's name, designs, and inspiration continue to live on. Built upon architectural and natural forms, the design house remains dedicated to crafting distinctive pieces unlike any other. Each creation is a story, told through the hands of skilled artisans working in silver and gold. While inspired by the essence of New Orleans, the designs transcend geography, inviting every Collector to discover a deeper connection. These are not just objects, but reflections of feeling—each piece offering a sense of home, or the beginning of a new story, uniquely interpreted by the one who wears it.


 

 

At Mignon Faget, clients are known as "Collectors" because each piece evokes a deep sense of familiarity, sparking a desire to return time and again. Pendants and rings are chosen to serve as cherished reminders of memories, while precious stones and fine metals transform personal stories into timeless heirlooms. These creations rest in jewelry boxes like mementos from the past, awaiting the day they are passed down—a lasting legacy worn around the neck or wrist of the next storyteller.


our mission

Our mission is to share the artistic vision of Mignon Faget with our discerning Collectors, while expanding our community across the country. Together, we will create the highest quality objects of adornment, promote the strength of our commitment to art and our Collectors, and provide superior customer service.
