My mom passed away 10 years ago this summer, and I have her ashes. I came to Camille with an idea close to my heart: I wanted a piece of jewelry I could wear every day so my mom could stay with me always. Camille worked with me to create a beautiful heart design with an infinity symbol, with Mom's garnet birthstone, along with tubing incorporated into it to hold her ashes. I never take it off. It means the world to me, and in this way, Mom is always with me. Thank you, Camille, for helping bring this beautiful idea to life.

Camille is a fabulously meticulous, thoughtful, skilled and precision-oriented jeweler and I appreciate how she integrates her concern for the natural world into her art, especially the plight of Monarch Butterflies.

I had a brainstorm recently, to have Camille create a one-of-a-kind, commissioned pendant for my extremely particular daughter-in-law for her 40th birthday. I believed that, having followed much of Camille’s work online,
I was convinced that she would be the perfect artisan for this very special piece.

I contacted Camille and we spoke on the phone several times and communicated online, living 3200 miles apart. We discussed my daughter-in-law, Meg’s favorite things, metals, varied precious and semi-precious birthstones, colors that would and wouldn’t work together, including her two children’s birthstones, Meg’s character and life-style. Camille taught me about alternative stones to assure that the colors Meg likes would be integrated into the pendant instead of using the traditional birthstones.

Camille created several detailed pencil sketches, each unique. Her drawings were creative offering varied options.

Camille was wonderful and easy to work with, listening intently, manifesting my wishes into a perfect silver rose pendant with a black diamond, green amethyst and peridot.

When my daughter-in-law opened the lovely box that Camille had sent the necklace in, her eyes opened wide. She held the delicate flower pendant up to the light studying it. “Exquisite!” she announced. That said it all. Success.
Camille’s heartfelt effort will be cherished for many years to come. Thank you, Camille.

My experience with Camille Torres Designs was excellent.. I asked Camille to design a barrette for my sister, who has very long hair and always wears it back in a barrette. My sister has two joined trees in backyard that she calls "sister trees." I sent a picture of the trees to Camille and she made the most gorgeous design of the trees with the branches intertwined around the edges of the barrette. Camille was a delight to work with and so creative in how she fashioned the barrette to incorporate all the facets of the trees. My sister was delighted.
