Designer Spotlight: Mignonne Gavigan — Jewelry With a Playful Edge
Some jewelry whispers. Mignonne Gavigan's jewelry starts the conversation.
Known for her bold use of color, texture, and unexpected detail, Mignonne Gavigan designs pieces that strike the perfect balance between pretty and playful. Her jewelry transforms even the simplest outfit into something styled and intentional — the perfect match for women who favor a minimal fashion look but love adding personality with their accessories. Or, for the woman who loves layering her jewelry or wants to try. This season many designers are showing a denim shirt, blazer and black trousers with tons of layered jewelry. Here's where to get your start.
Why Mignonne Works for Two Types of Jewelry Lovers
For the minimal dresser → Your wardrobe may be full of neutrals, monochromatic looks, and clean lines. Mignonne’s pieces give you that single (or multiple!), intentional pops of color or texture that makes the outfit feel complete.
For the accessory enthusiast → You love jewelry as much as you love the clothes. These playful, affordable pieces let you layer, mix, and match without hesitation — making it easy to rotate between bold statement days and subtle sparkle.
