Our Story

Founded in 2021, Camille Colette Studio is a French high-fashion jewelry brand. In Bordeaux, Marie, the founder, and her team create bold and unique pieces. Inspired by seaside culture, the collections have a distinct summery feel. They exude the designer's DNA. Raised by the Atlantic Ocean, a worthy heiress of inspiring women with Mediterranean culture, her grandmothers Camille and Colette, Marie is driven by the desire to perpetuate the family legacy and pass it on in turn. Let us tell you more.

From a personal passion to a professional adventure

Camille Colette was born from the creative spirit of Marie, the brand's founder. Marie has always loved to create, especially jewelry. She mainly makes them for herself, to be able to wear pieces that reflect her image, with one desire and need: durability.

Because Marie is a proponent of "I wear my jewelry in all circumstances": for sleeping, showering, swimming, etc. But she can't find products on the market that withstand time and the elements. After some personal research, she discovers gold filled and sees for herself the quality of this material. She is convinced.

Marie continues to design her jewelry, empowered by this discovery. She creates them for her friends and family, for pleasure and as gifts. Then, little by little, the circle of Camille Colette enthusiasts grows: the jewelry is a hit. What started as a casual hobby gradually takes the shape of a small business, with a name, an Instagram account, and customers.

In parallel, Marie pursued her business studies between Bordeaux and Paris. Upon graduation, she decided to dive into the world of entrepreneurship. With her dynamic, even hyperactive, personality, Marie doesn't hesitate to take on the role of business owner, driven by her desire to learn, undertake a thousand things, and, most importantly, to grow Camille Colette.

The Marriage of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean

In 2021, Marie returned to her hometown of Bordeaux, bringing her jewelry and ambitions with her. She created Camille Colette Studio, her brand of sunny high-fashion jewelry. It was a return to her roots, particularly to her main source of inspiration: the sea.

Between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, Marie's most cherished memories are of summer vacations, evenings on the beach, sunshine, and the seaside. Even today, she escapes to the Atlantic coast whenever she gets the chance.

This inclination is inevitably reflected in Camille Colette Studio's creations. The jewelry is colorful, with marine inspirations and a distinct summery feel. Marie's goal: to extend summer all year round with her accessories and thus brighten even the gloomiest months.

"I love the idea of wearing jewelry that reminds us of holidays."

And as summer is a time for saltwater baths and days spent on the sand, the designer also makes it a point of honor that her pieces withstand all challenges. Marie therefore chooses quality materials for the crafting of her collections: 14-karat gold filled, 925 sterling silver, and semi-precious stones. These latter are the foundation of the jewelry. The final result – necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, etc. – are bold and singular pieces with a strong character, designed around the raw material, its shape, size, and color.

A story of transmission

With her brand, Marie conveys a genuine desire for quality and longevity. She wants her jewelry to be worn for years. Because Camille Colette Studio is also a story of transmission, of family heritage.

From the beginning, the brand has carried the first names of Marie's two grandmothers, inspiring women whose influence is present daily. They bequeathed to Marie their strong character, their creativity, their taste for fashion and beautiful materials, Southern culture, and a love for the sea. Camille and Colette greatly contributed to shaping the founder's journey.

Today, Marie aims to grow her brand with the desire to transmit not only beautiful objects but also memories, values, and a story unique to each individual.
