The company was founded in 1983 by Karen Erickson, Eric Erickson and Vicki Beamon. That year they opened a boutique in New York City. They weren't designing jewelry at the time, but when they were styling their premiere runway show and they couldn't seem to find the right jewelry to match the outfits, they decided to design it themselves.
The handmade jewels were an instant hit and from that moment on the brand just went up up up! Nowadays their products are sold all over the world and they gain more and more clients everyday.
To expand the brand internationally Vicki Beamon moved to the UK where she leads the London office and EB flagship store on Elizabeth street.
Besides their standard collection they also have a lot of private clients they design for. Just to mention a few; Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Chloe Sevigny, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, Lady GaGa (Photo), Nicole Richie, Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker and even Michelle Obama (photo)! All in love with EB's sparkles.
They also design custom runway pieces for the biggest designers such as Chanel, Dries van Noten, Dior, Givenchy, Matthew Williamson and Zac Posen.When the company celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2003, they launched their first diamond collection (mostly clear diamonds and 18K white gold). One year later they introduced a chandelier collection in 2004.
Personally I have to say I love their designs. I first noticed them at Net-a-porter.com about 2 years ago and have been drooling over almost every piece since then. I've selected a couple of pieces I love that are now available at Net-a-poter.
I think the 'Tropical Punch' earrings and necklace are amazing. The colours really make me wanna drink a cocktail (with Matt Lanter :P ) on some deserted beach.
The spike earrings are also one of my favourites.
If I could just buy some...
XoXo, Justine W.
