PORTLAND, Or., May 4 2006 /.../ -- Fans and customers of Portland Oregon based jewelry designer Cami Tout are going to be delighted that, after a 5 month sabbatical, Camilee Designs has arrived once again on the scene of one of eBay's most competitive groups, Handcrafted Artisan Jewelry. With nearly 1000 items shipping in 2005, Camilee Designs grew sales and a loyal following at a stunning pace by offering high quality designer jewelry at affordable prices combined with same day shipments and expedient customer service.

With hundreds of unique designs and more than 600 delighted customers in 3 years, Cami is very excited about getting back to work doing something she is extremely passionate about. Cami's love of sparkling gemstones in a never-ending array of colors is what inspired her to start a jewelry business. All of her designs are made with genuine precious or semi-precious stones and metals chosen individually by hand for their quality and clarity. "I like clean, high quality gemstones and use the very best stones that I can, while keeping my prices as reasonable as possible. Gemstones are natural and frequently imperfect, which isn't a bad thing. Minimal inclusions can lend to the authenticity and uniqueness of the gemstone," explains Cami. "My goal is to create something that you can wear with your favorite pair of jeans or with a formal evening gown." Pieces in Camilee Designs collections range in price from approximately $30 to $200.

In today's competitive jewelry marketplace, it is not unusual for Cami to put in a 60 hour work week in order to keep up with demand and to keep her customers delighted with fresh new ideas and styles. From shopping and sourcing the finest gemstones and metals to drawing out sketches of new designs, putting in "production time" and spending countless hours in her home studio taking pictures of her latest designs under perfectly balanced lighting conditions, she still manages to fit in a 60 minute step aerobics workout everday in the early morning or mid afternoon "depending on who the instructor is that day" she says. Even with her hectic schedule, what truly makes it all worth while for Cami is keeping satisfied customers. This time around, however, Cami wants to leverage her model of "designer jewelry at affordable prices" with exceptional customer service to tap into as many far flung, remote and urban markets as she can.
