Mignon Faget Enters a New Era With Its ‘Legacy’ Collection
The brand is celebrating its upcoming 55th anniversary with modern designs that pay tribute to its history.
Mignon Faget's new era is about shifting from the namesake designer being the face of the brand to allowing the jewelry to speak for itself.
New York—Mignon Faget, a New Orleans-based jewelry brand, has released a new fall collection to celebrate the brand’s upcoming 55th anniversary in 2025, driving it into a new era.
The “Legacy” collection combines new and old designs, offering pieces with eclectic details that are a modern take for the brand, explained Mignon Faget.
There are references to the sleek curves from the “Ironworks” collection, motifs from the “Renaissance” collection, and the traditional New Orleans symbol, the royal lily flower, seen in the “Fleur de Lis” collection.
The nine-piece collection includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings, cuffs, and rings, all available in sterling silver and 14-karat yellow gold.

The nine-piece collection includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings, cuffs, and rings, all available in sterling silver and 14-karat yellow gold.
The “Legacy Era” ear cuff in 14-karat yellow gold ($3,380)
The “Legacy Era” chain link necklace features the brand’s linking scrollwork design in sterling silver ($590)
Mignon Faget’s “Legacy Era” ring in 14-karat yellow gold ($1,842)
The “Legacy Era” collar in 14-karat yellow gold ($27,708)
The “Legacy Era” stud earrings showcase Mignon Faget’s scrollwork motif in sterling silver ($105)
Mignon Faget’s “Legacy Era” hoops in 14-karat yellow gold ($5,885)
While the Legacy collection was created to tell a story of passing down authentic heritage in a global culture, it also comes as the brand approaches its 55th anniversary.
Mignon Faget explains that this new era marks new beginnings, as Mignon Faget, the founder of the namesake brand, has entered retirement.
Faget has long been the face of the brand, creating jewelry often inspired by her hometown of New Orleans. For this new era, the focus of the brand’s story will no longer center on Faget as the face of the brand, instead allowing her jewelry to speak for itself.
“Mignon Faget herself has been the face of the brand for so long, symbolizing when she was out and about in New Orleans and serving as the public relations person for the brand,” said Maghan Oroszi, the CEO of Mignon Faget who was appointed earlier this year.
“The Legacy collection is about shifting that responsibility to the brand. It’s about people finding Mignon Faget the jewelry versus the person,” said Oroszi.
The Legacy collection retails for $105 to $27,708.
It debuted on Sept. 6 and is available on Mignon Faget’s website.
