Temple St. Clair fans, let’s share our favorites!

You all have been busy, I have pages to catch-up on! Jumping back in with some pics I took of older brochures and magazine articles I’d saved. They’re from about 2008-2010. May be helpful for some in regards to judging relative sizes.

The previous version of the Arno Chain is shown a few times. In the past it had an integral temple charm and an S hook closure. Now they’re made with a dangling temple charm and a lobster claw clasp. I love the details of the previous Arno, so unique!

Town & Country article showing a number of pieces, including the large Tolomeo on the Arno chain. The prices... :crybaby: !

Page from a 2008 Saks catalog, medium and large Amulets on a Classic Oval chain.
Again, unless you want to shed tears, do not look at the prices! :biggrin:

TSC brochure showing various versions of the Amulet and all the sizes, from extra small to extra large. I’ve not seen the extra large offered in a long time. It was really big! It’s the one shown with the Arno Chain.

Well, you’re right about shedding tears over those prices!!! I loved seeing the pictures, though, especially the Arno chain! Very helpful! I wish they'd make one like that in the size of the classic oval chain. I feel like that size (and price) is better for me, but I’d love to have the Arno design. The heavier links seem to hang better. I may end up with another classic oval in 32”. But I have decided to wait and be sure I am getting an amulet before I buy a chain!

Yes, regarding the prices! I remember feeling they were expensive back then, too...had I only known! I think so smart to wait until you have the amulet to decide on a chain. And another thought, she does periodically create new chains. Maybe there will be something new offered in the spring. :smile:
 
This is fun, I look forward to seeing which others designs she brings back!
Look no further for these two. I also recognized the swirly studs and the heart ring from prior years.

Hubby and I went to Bloomies today.
Here are some pics!
I got to see a few things I was looking and liking online. I LOVE the turquoise amulet. Would you lovely ladies wear Turquoise in the fall and winter? They need to do a MOP and or onyx amulet , lol! The classic vine is beautiful too. They only had one chain and for 3k ,I was not impressed honestly. It was so lightweight and flimsy.
I have the SA info if any of your ladies want. She said she can order anything on the website too.
My plan is to really focus on my vca items I am planning for and then getting an amulet. I am going back with my Cartier chain to see if the amulet looks good on it!



A lil OT, for my VCA gals, look at Roberto Coin and how they are VCA inspired!

I LOVE large yellow Frivole but have never had the chance to try them on! I did try the small ones about a year ago (had them sent to my home), but they were a little too small. I am afraid to order the large without trying some on. I'll look forward to seeing yours and hope they come sooner than expected!

Yes, that's a little scary about them losing the earrings!!! Maybe they are better staffed by now (hopefully!!)!

It's good I don't live near a lot of high end stores!!! However, occasionally it is such a pain not to have certain ones!!! :lol:

I had the large frivoles before! They are amazing and if you can get them, I highly suggest them. I need to find a pic of me in them and will send it to you!:)

I love the Vine Amulet earrings, so beautiful! :heart: I also wondered about weight, as some of her earrings are, sadly, too heavy for me.

I tried on a pair of earrings and while beautiful , they did not lay right because of the weight and how they were made.
They were a wire that would bend very very easy. In fact the sa had to bend them a bit to widen them!

Very fun, thank you sharing! :flowers: I'm surprised they didn't have more pieces in stock!

Oh, interesting which pair did you try? Her earwires seem to be typically made from a heavy gauge wire that would not easily bend. Regarding weight, I dislike heavy earrings, and avoid! I wonder how some don't mind them!

Hi!
These were moonstone . I think there is a pic of them up above. The wire felt nice, but they did bend as to fit on my earlobe , we had to manipulate it a bit. Then they drooped down and to the side. Very underwhelming.
What earrings do you like?
I myself can not do heavy earrings at all!! I am still looking for the perfect everyday pair.

@sjunky13 thank you so much for these pics and for your thoughts on the pieces. The RC jewelry is fun to see, too, and definitely looks VCA-inspired :biggrin:. Just wanted to add my 2 cents about the turquoise,.. my first impression is that it would be fitting for spring/summer, but I could also see it working with winter whites. Or really anytime you want to brighten up. :yes: Eh, to each his/her own, right?;)
