Piece of the Week: Mignon Faget’s ‘Crescent Starry Night’ Tassel Earrings
Mignon Faget honors its hometown of New Orleans with a piece inspired by “The Crescent City.”
Mignon Faget has harnessed the New Orleans night sky this holiday season with its “Crescent Starry Night” tassel earrings.
The piece is a nod to New Orleans’ nickname, “The Crescent City.”
A 14-karat yellow gold moon motif references the bend in the Mississippi River that curves around the town’s French Quarter, while the faceted blue goldstone and rainbow moonstone tassels shine like stars in the Louisiana sky.
“With the crescent moon stud blended with the fun, sparkling tassels, these earrings embody NOLA nights to the fullest,” said Maghan Oroszi, CEO of Mignon Faget.
The Crescent Starry Night tassel earrings are part of the brand’s “The Cherry on Top” holiday collection that celebrates the upcoming 55th anniversary of Mignon Faget.
It is filled with updated designs from well-loved collections, all of which take inspiration from the brand’s hometown of New Orleans.
The earrings are one of four new holiday styles added to the “Crescent” collection, which was first introduced in 2017.
“Tassels have historically always been a best-selling design for us since we first started making them in the ‘70s, and since this year’s holiday campaign was centered around designs of the past, we thought it was fitting to bring the style back,” said Oroszi.
The Cherry on Top collection also includes new designs for the “Banana Leaf,” “Louisiana,” and “Legacy” collections.
It debuted on Oct. 11 with necklaces, earrings, pendants, and rings available in sterling silver and 14-karat yellow gold.
The Crescent Starry Night tassel earrings retail for $1,907 and are available on the Mignon Faget website, along with The Cherry on Top collection’s 12 new pieces.
