About Passementerie®...
Passementerie® [pahs-mahn-tree] is a collection of artisan-made fine jewelry based in Charleston, South Carolina. Each piece is created using hand-picked gemstones and only the finest materials available including gem grade precious & semi-precious stones, tahitian & south sea pearls, solid sterling silver, high-karat gold & platinum.

Each piece of jewelry is made by hand from start to finish, the inspiration for my designs comes from the gemstones themselves. All of my designs are one of a kind or made in extremely limited editions. If you see something you like but would like it made with a different metal/stone or in a different size please don't hesitate to contact me, I love working on custom pieces for my clients!

About the Artist...
Courtney is known for her exquisite color combinations and quality of material. Despite being only 25 Courtney has already made her mark on the contemporary fine jewelry market with collectors as well as with fashion industry press, her collection is instantly recognizable to collectors because of her unique style, combining stunning beadwork with traditional & contemporary metalsmithing techniques.

The inspiration for her designs comes from the gemstones themselves. “I am inspired by the endless possibilities of using colored gemstones as my artistic palette,” says Courtney. From the beginning, Courtney has made it one of her primary goals to change the perception of beadwork as “costume” or “fashion” jewelry by using only fine gemstones, 18-24k gold, platinum and sterling silver in her designs.
