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

Oh, fun! I'd love to hear if you see anything particularly spectacular. In the past, the trunk shows seemed the best for oogling, as they'd travel with unusual pieces.

I'd love a large amulet. I had a few amulets in the past ranging from extra small to medium, but decided I'd prefer wearing the larger size. I imagine getting a simpler one, but his one below is ! The moonstone starfish is clinging on, so animated.

Also shown beautifully on the cover of Alchemy, photo below is on pg 121.

I looked at my book again recently too...
You are going to laugh, but I saw that photo and thought of you, my starfish hero!
Yes, I agree... I only went to a trunk show once at my local dealer. They had gorgeous pieces. I did not recall seeing the starfish amulet at the time.

The model wears it short, but I would prefer it on a longer chain. It's so beautiful. She makes a starfish pendant too. I love the amulet though.

Aw, so sweet, and you know my taste well! I also haven't seen the starfish amulet in person. Like you, I'd wear that size on a longer chain, seems a bit bulky to wear shorter I think. The starfish pendants in link above look beautiful, too.

I've gotten distracted by other brands in recent years, but you've gotten me thinking about her pieces again! Looking at her site now, I no longer see the beautiful platinum rings she previously offered. I was thinking maybe you could request something be made in platinum if that was also a customary metal they worked with, but currently there are only yellow gold pieces shown on her site.

Happy to be joining the club! I saw @BigAkoya ’s post in the VCA forum about the Tolomeo pendant and was intrigued… My interest was further piqued after going on the TSC site and seeing so many beautiful pieces. @etoile de mer ITA that these pieces are works of art and steeped with meaning. I think the original Tolomeo is a bit large and outside my budget, but I did want to have a piece of it. I went with the small rainbow model - pics attached. Please ignore my dry skin!

I also decided to get the medium sized vine amulet. I deliberated between that and the large size,..I’m pretty happy with the medium, as it’s bigger than I anticipated (in a good way).

In repeating what others have said, these pieces are of remarkable quality and I love how substantial/weighty they feel.

Thank you for letting me share!

Also, wanted to add some mod shots in case they can help with visualizing these pieces on/irl, especially if (like me) you don’t live near a TSC retailer. In the first, I’m wearing the small Tolomeo on an 18” chain and medium amulet on a 32” chain. In the second, I’ve layered the amulet with a VCA magic size MOP (long chain doubled up).

Omg I love them! never knew this forum existed lol. I have the medium angel with one of their chains n love it SM

You chose gorgeous pieces, and you wear them beautifully! So elegant. I love all the details of your small Tolomeo, and I've always admired the Vine Amulets, so pretty! Thanks so much for sharing your choices with us.

Those are soooo gorgeous! Beautiful pieces. Tolomeo is so stunning, and the amulet is stunning too! Congratulations!

I love how you layered the two TSC pieces! Super gorgeous! The 32" chain hangs perfect on you!
And of course, your VCA Magic MOP is wonderful too! I'm a Platinum/WG gal, and even with that, YG MOP is so special. VCA YG MOP just glows. And your rainbow Tolomeo... my eye just stops and stares at it.... so lovely.

You have beautiful pieces.

Thank you @etoile de mer and @BigAkoya , also! You are too kind.

I love how both pieces catch the light, especially the amulet. I think it’s for similar reasons that I’m drawn to the VCA MOP - that glow is really something!

I love Temple St Clair but am a little disappointed with her client care service. I have a Collina ring and accidentally chipped the moonstone. Tried emailing, even calling but no one has gotten back to me Anyone else experience this? Will post pics soon

Here's my medium size moonstone amulet.

So sorry to hear about your ring! I would try again to reach them. Maybe they are short staffed? It was years back, but they were very responsive when I had questions. I would love to see pics of your ring, it's a beautiful design!

Here's my medium size moonstone amulet.

That's beautiful! I've thought about buying a large Amulet and this moonstone design and the Diamond Amulet are ones I've considered. Her moonstones are gorgeous. But @smile10281's Vine Amulet, posted above, now has me thinking about that design, as well!

Thank you! So you can barely see the small nick in the ring but it bothers me haha…moonstones are so beautiful but soft sigh. I also got that amulet on a great sale last year at Bloomingdale’s F&F which applied to TSC…didn’t have it this yr though unfortunately. I really want the classic round chain in 24”. She also apparently used to have sample sales in NY but I haven’t seen any these past years. @restricter shares some beautiful pieces in older TSC threads.

That's gorgeous , thanks for sharing a pic. I'd love one of her rings at some point, and have thought about getting her classic oval moonstone ring, but I love this one, too! I can't see the nick, but I understand, would bother me, too. Hoping they can offer a solution.

When I had a medium amulet, I wore it on the 24" round link chain. I don't see it on her site now, but it was the one with 6mm links. It felt like it nicely complemented the scale of that size amulet. I love that her chains are so adjustable in length, and that her pieces are so mix and match, makes it very fun!
