Our Story

Mignonne Gavigan launched in 2014. It was a bit spontaneous. Mignonne, "Maggie", was experimenting with a beaded couture vintage gown and an embellished piece of fabric fell to the floor. She picked it up and fastened it around her neck because she thought it was a cool scarf vibe. On her walk home through Soho a handful of compliments and questions on where she had gotten her necklace came about and the first Mignonne Gavigan design idea was born. She always knew she wanted to create a brand, a community and a workplace that were all built on kindness and happiness. Maggie launched Mignonne Gavigan jewelry in hopes that each piece would bring joy and happiness to the wearer. Ultimately what she’s discovered is that women develop a significant amount of confidence when wearing an MG piece. That is so important to the MG team- that we are building a community of confident and joy-filled women.

We believe in cultivating a community of diverse and kind women. Each of you uniquely bringing our jewels to life from your perspective continues to endlessly inspire us.

design ethos

Our philosophy is that sophistication and playfulness can coexist. We aim to thoughtfully design one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story of handmade craftsmanship and faraway travels. Our approach stems from Maggie’s love of art, nature, architecture and textiles bringing all together in jewelry. We believe what you wear should bring you joy, maybe even encourage you to take a few risks.

With partners in India and Asia, we create modern designs informed by 100-year-old heritage techniques. Signature styles include the scarf necklace, decadent statement earrings, dreamy intricately detailed brooches, and bracelets.

travel diaries

Travel has always been a big part of the inspiration for me. I love being outside and experiencing nature, which I weave into each collection. Ultimately, we base each collection around a place and the feelings you may experience when being there, and our community of women. We hope to continue to add surprise and delight with each collection.
