cCaskill & Company presented a gemstone round table and 
trunk show with prominent designer Erica Courtney on May 
19 at their beautiful showroom in Destin. Erica took the time to 
educate guests and held two brief seminars for attendees about the 

fascinating world of garnets, which the event focused on. Erica shared stories of 
travels to exotic corners of the world, where she visits in search of these incredible 
gemstones. “Garnets are drop dead gorgeous,” she said as she spoke intimately 
with a few people who had gathered around her.

In 1984, Erica Courtney created her fi rst collection with fun-loving casual jewels 

of Swarovski crystal applied to everything from sunglasses, watches and bandanas. 
Fueled by her innate entrepreneurial spirit and remarkable artistic talent for three 
decades, Erica has built one of the most recognized and successful luxury jewelry 
businesses in the country. She travels the world backpacking through jungles and 
mines in search of these rare and beautiful gemstones, which she handpicks herself 
to create these dazzling pieces.
