Jewelry Designer Laura James Goes Vintage for Spring 2008

Charlotte, NC, March 30, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Returning to her roots, Laura Schmelzer James of Laura James Jewelry (www.LauraJamesJewelry.com) has interwoven her latest collection of necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets for 2008 with vintage cameos, intaglios and wooden beads. The delicate older components are offset by the shiny newness of fourteen karat goldfill, twenty-two karat vermeil and sterling silver. James also enjoys incorporating a Byzantine flair to her work with high-karat gold and intricate filigree that often is enhanced by organic gemstones.

"I am constantly evolving my designs, taking inspiration from other cultures and time periods and weaving it all together," said James."The result is often jewelry that evokes a certain timelessness that any buyer from any culture can treasure for many years to come."

Laura James Jewelry showcases multiple collections of necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets via the website (www.LauraJamesJewelry.com) and in specialty boutiques all over the United States. The jewelry collection is moderately priced and is primarily derived from semiprecious and organic stones, vintage components, carved jade, gold and silver. Each piece of jewelry in the Laura James Jewelry collection is handcrafted solely by Laura James and often includes one of a kind or limited edition pieces.

Native to Jackson, Mississippi, Laura James has been a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina for the past eight years where Laura James Jewelry is headquartered. For more details including wholesale information, contact Laura James at 704.351.5680or via email at info@laurajamesjewelry.com.
