Designed by Karen and Eric Erickson and Vicki Beamon, Erickson Beamon put delight and fun back into fine jewelry. They showed their Fall 2012 collection in a speakeasy-themed concert presentation “Deca-dance”, presided over by The Citizens Band and their ’20s-style jazz. The team even hired dancers to participate, who wore Erickson Beamon pieces along with the models. Red lips (all makeup by Beauty.com) and sinewy gowns were the order of the day. I’ll be honest, everyone onstage looked like they were having a blast, from the dapper men in tuxedos to the lovely ladies with waved bobs. Take a look and check out some of the fun from backstage and onstage (all photos by moi)!
