She was the first female silversmith to to become internationally noted. Among her most important works are the watch "Vivianna," the earrings and necklaces "Dew Drop." and the Möbius series of which this piece is a part of.

Torun was awarded a gold medal at the 1960 Milan Triennale and she won the American Lunning Prize for design, given annually to innovative Scandinavian designers in their thirties. She then met the Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, for whom she began designing exclusively in 1969.
