Tulane University and the renowned New Orleans design house Mignon Faget have partnered on a new jewelry line that blends the university’s spirit with the brand’s signature artistic style. The collection — featuring a pendant, earrings and pin — offers an elegant reinterpretation of Tulane’s wave motif through a distinctly Mignon Faget lens.
The collaboration grew from an early conversation between Maghan Oroszi, CEO of Mignon Faget, and Tulane’s marketing team, where both sides agreed the pieces should reflect Tulane’s identity without relying on familiar, literal symbols. “Thousands of companies can make a T or a wave,” said Carmen Sarduy, Tulane’s assistant vice president of marketing. “I wanted their design capability.”
Oroszi shared the vision. “I think the final piece is a classic Mignon Faget design, but it also represents Tulane,” she said. “I hope people see this as an elevated form that honors Mignon’s legacy.”
