Mignon Faget jewelry endures not just because it is pretty but because it is classic. Never chasing trends, the eponymous brand has always stayed true to its core customer. At 45 years old, I’ve seen plenty of jewelry trends come, go and then come right back again. It’s striking the ease with which something once considered classic can reemerge as something au currant to a younger generation. Take for example, the shell themed jewelry that Mignon Faget practically pioneered in the ’80s and ‘90s. Although timeless to most, aquatic inspired jewelry is now the hottest accessory for summer. Willingly or not, with the launch of their new summer Coral Collection on May 16, Mignon Faget finds itself perfectly on trend.
Inspired by the new collection’s shapes and colors, I’ve combed local shops to complete a coral forward look just for you.
