Retired Mignon Faget Hurricane Katrina Pendant Fleur-de-Lis Sterling Silver 2005

Designed by Mignon Faget in 2005, this sterling silver pendant was created as a commemorative response to Hurricane Katrina.
The sculptural crescent form echoes the spiral of a hurricane, enclosing the New Orleans fleur-de-lis—a symbol of resilience, identity, and recovery after the storm.

The reverse is clearly marked “Mignon Faget," “8-29-05," and “© 925," directly referencing the date Hurricane Katrina made landfall. This confirms the piece as an original 2005 issue, not a later anniversary reproduction.

Minimalist yet powerful in symbolism, the pendant reflects post-Katrina New Orleans design language: strength through simplicity. Light surface wear is consistent with age; structure and form remain excellent.

A meaningful and collectible piece of contemporary American design with documented historical context.
