Erica Courtney Jewelry Designer

Erica Courtney has built one of the most recognized and successful fine jewelry brands in the industry, fueled by her innate entrepreneurial spirit and extraordinary artistic talent. Although she has always felt a natural attraction to beauty and luxury, Courtney would have never guessed she would end up the tastemaker and trendsetter in the jewelry business she is today. Erica began designing in 1984 with out realizing it while living in Dallas. By embellishing sunglasses and watches with Swarovski crystals and creating casual costume jewelry that she loved to wear, the first Erica Courtney collection was born. After being stopped on the street countless times by fans asking where they could buy Courtney’s unintentional designer pieces, she started producing a line for the public to adore. In 1989 Erica followed her heart to Los Angeles, where her inspiration blossomed and her designs focused on sterling silver jewelry with engraved love notes. Again, with out realizing what she had done, Erica successfully launched the first designer sterling brand that her clients could not get enough of! Over time, the Erica Courtney collection evolved into fine gold and platinum gemstone jewelry, ultimately inspired by the history and glamour of Hollywood. Through the evolution of the brand, one thing never changed, Erica designs from her heart, and strives to “create jewelry that is treasured and remembered.”
