Kelly Colleen Stretch Rings
Kelly is blessed with an eye for color and shape and texture and her work uses these in fun and interesting combinations. Working with a wide assortment of materials including Swarovski crystals and pearls and sterling silver, Kelly designs gorgeous pieces that are a pleasure to wear, own and give as gifts.
It is said that small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. Artist Kelly Colleen Torres’s career is a perfect example. After her daughter Isabella was born, Kelly finished maternity leave and returned to her job as a marketing and sales professional. Soon she found she just couldn’t come to terms with being away from her baby all day. She quit—and decided to turn her hobby of crafting fine jewelry into a profession.
A native of New Orleans, Kelly credits her design skills to her inventive father. She remembers being Daddy’s little helper watching him work at his drafting board. He often let her help him build his projects and even taught her Old English Calligraphy when she was just eight. Kelly’s obsession with jewelry design began after she was introduced to it by her younger sister.
