San Miguel de Allende, an artsy town in the Mexican highlands, is not the first place you’d associate with jewelry designer Gogo Ferguson. That would be Cumberland Island, where Ferguson—a descendant of the Carnegies, who made Cumberland their winter home in the late 19th century—is one of just a handful of residents. Ferguson has become almost synonymous with the wild, remote barrier island, whose flora and fauna are the primary source of inspiration for her necklaces, earrings, and housewares. But few people know that over the past 15 years, she and her family have made another home in San Miguel. There she gathers inspiration for her line, works on new designs with a metalsmith, and takes in the views from her family’s hacienda-style stone house overlooking the colonial-era city. Here, she shares her favorite local haunts.
