"La Vie Est Belle" - Life Is Beautiful. That's the motto jewelry designer Wendy Mignot lives by. I was lucky enough to win an Instagram Social Challenge a few weeks ago on Wendy Mignot's page and won a beautiful piece of their fine pearls and leather jewelry.
Shout out to my friend and roommate, Allison Reynolds, for taking the above photo! Be sure to check out her photography & film Instagram.
What impressed me about their brand was how much Wendy herself was actually involved in the process of hand-picking the pearls and creating the jewelry. When on the phone with a representative of Wendy Mignot, I was told that Wendy and her family actually go diving for the pearls and then leave them untouched, explaining the little imperfections of each piece that make them unique.
While further browsing their website, I found three pieces I loved and created a little wishlist! These items are perfect for a unique and meaningful Christmas present this year. Check out my favorites below (left to right) and be sure to check out their website to learn more about Wendy Mignot and her creations.
1. Seacrest Freshwater Necklace Multicolor
I love this one because it's still so simplistic, yet unique! I feel like you can dress it up but still wear it with a casual outfit as well. I've never been a traditional pearl person, so I love that these pearls are all different colors.
2. Rain Two Drop Tahitian Necklace
My favorite thing about this one is the Tahitian pearls. How cool is that? Like how often do you see people walking around wearing Tahitian pearls? I think that they're absolutely gorgeous and bring out individuality in a person
3. Sun, Moon, Stars Necklace
I love this one because it incorporates pearls with metals AND leather. I think the mixing of materials and sizes of pearls is simply beautiful.
