I happily picked up my new Mignon Faget pelican pendant today, which benefits the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. If you’re not familiar with Mignon Faget’s work, she is local jeweler (and fifth generation New Orleanian!) who has been making beautiful pieces in sterling silver and gold for over 40 years. Her “Gulf Coast” collection contains gorgeous renderings of oysters, pelicans, redfish, speckled trout, and yellowfin tuna, all benefitting the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. This won’t stop my heartache for the animals, but hopefully I’ve helped them just a bit, and I’ll wear my pelican with pride.
Here’s a link to her online site and this specific collection, if you’re interested: http://www.mignonfaget.com/shop/category/gulf-coast.html
