The ring\u2014and everything it symbolized\u2014inspired her full immersion in the artistry, meaning, and science of jewelry. This new passion built on Erika\u2019s lifelong curiosity about the art of adornment and her extensive background and career in dance, movement, and theatre. These art forms continue to inform her jewelry designs, as she draws an appreciation of delicate lines and movement from dance and an appreciation for the nuances of lighting\u2014and the impact of a grand entrance\u2014from theatre. After earning her Graduate Gemologist degree from the Gemological Institute of America, &nbsp;Erika worked in the antique and vintage jewelry industry in Los Angeles. In 2014, Erika launched her first engagement ring collection, built on her passion for fresh and exquisitely crafted bridal jewelry.
