One of the younger Designers, Florence native Temple St. Clair's style hints gracefully at the work of Seaman Schepps.
She features almost exclusively cabochon stones. Her designs have a basis in nature, showing lots of vines, leaves, and symbolic flower designs. She also uses cabochon gem clusters. Her signature is encasing each gem with a lovely gold border, which transforms a purely playful style into one that demands a little more serious attention.
She uses lots of cut out gold and filigree in her technique, and has a wonderful use of negative space.
Her work is very light, elegant, and simple. A wonderful breath of fresh air, her work is both sophisticated and youthful. Her Zodiac and Save the Dolphins collections are a must have for any serious collector.
