Today we have the pleasure of receiving the acclaimed American jeweler: Erica Courtney! Erica has been one of the most influential figures in the trade for decades now and is possibly the most iconic standard bearer for the female empowerment in our industry. We will be looking forward to understanding what makes her brand special, where does her imagination come from and the world that comes before the creation process of her lovely pieces of jewelry.
Without any further delay, we give you, Erica Courtney!

Simon Dussart: Hi Erica, thank you very much for agreeing to be with us today. We will start with our usual question, tell us about yourself: Who are you, Erica Courtney?
Erica Courtney: Hi Simon! That’s a hard question to answer, but here goes: I think I’m constantly evolving in life and looking for new inspiration and adventures. I’m very much into comfort but when I go on gem expeditions, I don’t care if it’s not comfortable, I’m so into the adventure that my curiosity overrules everything. I’m also a beauty worshipper: I love beauty of all kinds, like beautiful art, beautiful smiles, beautiful architecture, food, music and, of course, beautiful gems.
