Joan Shepp is hosting another designer event this weekend and this time it's the masters of baubles and bangles, Erickson Beamon. Founded in 1983 and designed by Detroit natives, Karen Erickson, Eric Erickson, and Vicki Beamon, this tremendous trio has not only handcrafted beautiful pieces for themselves, but for many big designers as well. Names like Calvin Klein, Chanel, Dior, and Anna Sui have used their masterpieces in their runway shows and celebrities like Beyonce, Julia Roberts and Sarah Jessica Parker have become collectors. Each piece is handcrafted and assembled by hand with prices ranging from $345 for a Neo Geo Agate and Swarovski Crystal Earrings to a Barbie Sterling Silver-Plated Feather Brooch for $1,180 (shown above) each item is unique. A percentage of the items sold at the designer event will benefit charities such as the Ronald McDonald House and Autism Speaks. Also enjoy some champagne and cider while you shop. Joan Shepp is located on 1616 Walnut Street, in Philadelphia and for more information on their store visit joanshepp.com.
