Shop Temple St.Clair

Temple St. Clair grew up in a Virginia home where ancestral oil portraits, French chandeliers and antique snuff bottles were mixed with unexpected wild gardens and eccentric relatives. Temple's grandmother shared tales of her own reckless youth which included exploring King Tut's tomb and galloping bareback through the Gardens of Versailles.

Temple first noticed jewelry in the masterworks of Renaissance painting and sculpture, where the beautifully crafted gold and rare stones sparked her imagination. This inspiration is at the heart of her jewelry today, designed in 18 karat gold and platinum in an airy studio above Soho in New York. Temple’s world is one of amulets and angels, and her followers are much like Temple herself: educated and well-traveled, who mix a modern lifestyle with a love for culture and history.
