Mignon Faget, Ltd

Frommer's Review

Mignon Faget is one of the biggest personalities in New Orleans's jewelry universe and a piece from here is as much a must for a New Orleans lady as a Tiffany piece is for an NYC one. The designer is a New Orleans native; in fact, some of her ancestors moved here to escape the French Revolution, while others were longtime plantation owners. Today, in her main studio display room, you can see some of her signature styles -- gold, silver, and bronze d'oré fashioned into pendants, bracelets, rings, earrings, shirt studs, and cuff links. Their New Orleans-specific pieces make superb presents for yourself or anyone back home. There's an uptown location at 3801 Magazine St. (tel. 504/891-2005).
