Temple St. Clair was founded in Florence, Italy in the mid-1980’s. It was there that our founder, Temple St. Clair Carr began a lifelong collaboration with the world’s finest artigiani – the centuries-old Florentine goldsmiths’ guild. Temple fell in love with the history of jewelry and gold. This passion led her to create jewels and design elements that reflect the traditions of human adornment and universal storytelling.
