Erica Courtney's passion for creating one-of-a kind jewelry has established her as one of today's most successful high-end jewelry designers. Signature Erica Courtney jewelry encompasses countless paved diamonds, eye-catching vintage colored stones, rare Tahitian pearls, and long, flowing beaded layering necklaces, all in 18k gold and platinum custom settings with exceptional attention to detail. Every single gem and pearl is handpicked by Erica herself. By working only with pieces she loves, pieces that attract and inspire her, Erica's intense love affair with jewelry is embodied in each and every dazzling piece in her collection.

Fueled by her innate entrepreneurial spirit and extraordinary artistic talent, Erica Courtney has built one of the most recognized and successful fine jewelry brands in the industry. Although she has always felt a natural attraction to beauty and luxury, Erica never quite envisioned herself as a designer until suddenly the stars aligned. She began designing in 1984 on a whim in Dallas, by embellishing sunglasses and watches with Swarovski crystals and creating casual costume jewelry. In 1989 Erica moved to Los Angeles, where her inspiration changed and her collection focused on delicate sterling silver jewelry with engraved love notes. Over time, the Erica Courtney collection evolved into fine jewelry, inspired by the undeniable glitz and glamour of Hollywood. A constant throughout her style evolution, Erica designs from her heart and sticks to her vision for designing timeless jewelry and strives to "create jewelry that is treasured and remembered."

Always a favorite of celebrities, stylists, and editors, Erica Courtney jewelry shines and sparkles, from the red carpet to the pages of premier fashion magazines. Devoted celebrity fans and clientele include Madonna, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Jessica Alba, Elizabeth Taylor, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. The collection has appeared in numerous films and television series, including such films as Mystic River and Erin Brockovich, and television's Desperate Housewives, Friends, and Will & Grace. Erica Courtney jewelry consistently generates great press and has been featured on covers and in the pages of Vogue, In Style, People, Marie Claire, and The New York Times.

In addition to the original store on stylish Beverly Blvd, Erica Courtney opened its second retail boutique next to the famed Ivy restaurant on Robertson Blvd in 2005. The collection can also be found at over 40 of the finest jewelry stores nationwide and Erica plans to keep expanding, with a focus on international markets. Erica Courtney's clientele is as vast as her romantic yet edgy collection.

Regardless of the outfit, Erica Courtney jewelry can make anyone feel like royalty, and undeniably DROP DEAD GORGEOUSTM.
