PATRICIA FABER: I don’t think anyone does a palette of pastel and rare precious gems better than Erica Courtney; the colors bounce off each other, drawing the eye to the full design.
ORIN AND TINA MAZZONI: Magnificent! The work that it must have taken to match the color on this many Paraibas is unbelievable. A real showstopper for the woman that knows her color and wants to make an impressive entrance.
LAURIE WATT: What can you say about an E.C. piece but wonderful use of color, wonderful design and quality piece of construction.
