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.
