This jewelry house was found in 1986 by Temple St. Clair Carr in Florence, Italy. Collaborating with the finest goldsmiths, she creates gold jewels decorated with colored gemstones (blue moonstones, sapphires, tourmalines, colombian emeralds, rubies…). Her jewelry is also characterised by the crystal amulets, the ancient jewelry’s inspiration, the triple granulation and the archer’s granule. “Granulation is a goldsmith’s technique whereby the surface of a jewel is decorated with small spheres of precious metal, named granules, according to a design pattern.” Recognized for her talent, Temple St. Clair was awarded the GEM Award for Jewelry Design in 2016.
