Mimi’s life long interest in the decorative arts and attunement to natural and botanical forms attain a lovely balance of the visual and tactile in her designs. A unique blending of color relationships with texture and refined sculptural elements define her modern, yet organic style of jewelry.

    While a jeweler and model maker for a prestigious New York fine jewelry manufacturer, Mimi expanded the skills she acquired from a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Rochester Institute of Technology. Through the melding of two distinctive jewelry making approaches over several decades of fine craftsmanship, Mimi continues the special tradition of the artisan studio jeweler.

    Mimi designs and crafts every piece of Favre jewelry. Many are one-of-a-kind creations. All of the elements that comprise each original fine jewelry design are hand fabricated or begin as wax carvings and are then reproduced, including the distinctive signature clasps and settings that complete her pieces. Mimi works primarily in 18k gold with gemstones and pearls that she carefully selects for quality and visual appeal.
