Courtney Laine is the designer behind the artisan-made jewelry collection named Passementerie.  The word passementerie is the art of making elaborate trimmings of braid, cord, beads, and silk. It’s derived from the early French word passement meaning lace. This word clearly depicts her design style, which is superbly detailed and ornate. Laine uses hand-picked gemstones and only the finest materials in her jewelry. Her collections combine detailed beadwork with traditional and contemporary styles. Laine receives inspiration from historical events, art, and ancient architecture.

 
Caviare is Laine’s new eco-friend line of classy earrings. The Caviare Earrings – Short are crafted entirely from pre-produced sterling silver metals.  These earrings contain ample round beads in a cascading cluster that dangle from french wire. The beads resemble the look of caviar, and thus the name of this collection.   The earrings will be featured in the HBO’s series Curb Your Enthusiasm season 7 as well as the upcoming issue of JCK Luxury Magazine. Buy the Caviare Earrings – Short directly through Passementerie for $199.
