Owner and Jewelry Designer, Renee 

Launiere, derives her creative inspiration 

from memories of summers spent at 

the beach, as well as international travel 

throughout her life. Bijoux De Mer, mean-

ing “jewels of the sea” in French, is a 

fitting name for her fine jewelry line. After 

10 years successfully selling her brand 

to fine jewelry stores all over the US and 

internationally, Launiere recently opened 

her flagship gallery at City Market 

Bayside in Destin. Working primarily with 

pearls, she loves to push the boundaries 

of conventional pearl designs. Her 

jewelry can be described as bold and 

innovative; yet retain timeless elegance. 

Every piece of jewelry found at Bijoux 

De Mer is hand-crafted and de-signed 

exclusively by Launiere. She expertly 

selects the finest materials for her 

designs, typically starting with cultured 

Tahitian, Southern Sea, or funky baroque 

freshwater pearls and incorporating 

rare, exotic gemstones set in precious 

metals. Launiere offers personal design 

consultation, which includes jewelry 

styling and custom creations for clients. 

The true beauty of Launiere’s fine jewelry 
is captured in the quality and uniqueness 

of each item that creatively combines 

elegance with a fashion forward edge.

Jewelry as a Fashion Through Time

Jewelry is as old as humankind and a 

vital part of human culture. Adornment 

with jewelry dates back as long as history 

stretches with different roles in various 

societies and cultures. Before we had 

precious metals and the wonderful 

gemstones that we have today, shells, 

stones and other organic material were 

used. Existing examples of jewelry from 

30,000 BC from burials reveal pieces 

engraved with intricate geometric 

patterns and, later, zoomorphic images, 

thus, jewelry was an early form of 

decorative art.

Thousands of years of advancement 

enabled jewelry to spread from the 

exclusive art form of the rich to the 

common personal items 

of adornment, which 

are today used by 

both men and women 

around the world to 

express themselves in various fashionable 

ways. Today, jewelry is a cornerstone of 

personal fashion and a vibrant part of the 

fashion industry.

At McCaskill & Company we strive to 

assist our guest in selecting pieces that fit 

their personality and sense of style. Our 

jewelry designers have a keen sense of 

what is highly fashionable today, but also 

have designs that are considered more 

classic that will stand the test of time. 

McCaskill & Company is host to some 

of the most renowned jewelry designers 

and fine watches. We are located 

between Destin and Sandestin.
