Rising Jewelry Designer Laura James Brings the Runway to Reality with her Latest Collections.

Charlotte, NC, July 2, 2006—Summer has arrived in full swing for rising jewelry designer Laura James of Laura James Jewelry(www.laurajamesjewelry.com ). James stays abreast of the catwalk with her latest collections tailored to fit the needs of today's every woman.

A favorite amongst discerning fashionistas, Laura James Jewelry introduces three diverse collections for 2006. Determined to bring styles from the runway to women everywhere, James aims to offer jewelry in more than one genre. The Vintage Collection features estate costume jewelry made contemporary- this is not your Grandmother's jewelry anymore. The Luxe Collection offers daintier designs in the customer's choice of fourteen karat gold fill, sterling silver and semi-precious stones. Lastly, the Runway Chic Collection is for the fashionistas who yearn for the most current, off-the-pages-of-Vogue-Magazine trends.

"I enjoy the challenge of bringing ideas from the Runway to women who don't necessarily have access to the larger variety offered in high-fashion meccas like California and New York," said Designer Laura James. "My wish is for every woman who appreciates design to have the option to wear it, and I pride myself on offering great quality and cutting-edge design with a tailored foundation. The highest compliment I can receive is when a woman mentiones that she is able to wear my pieces more than once."

Using semi-precious and organic stones, gold, silver and vintage materials, James creates a timeless yet trendy approach in her designs with a choice of collections aimed to fit anyone's style.

Prices in the Laura James Jewelry collections range from $30 to $300 and can be purchased both on-line at www.laurajamesjewelry.com and in select retail stores throughout North Carolina and Mississippi. A native of Jackson, Mississippi, Laura James donates a percentage of annual proceeds to Mississippi victims of Hurricane Katrina.
