Thank you! Have you ever seen the Tolomeo in WG, and if yes, I would love to hear your thoughts.Of course they’ve done pieces in white gold before! They’ve also done pieces in rose gold. Here’s a photo showing each.

I wear 5.5 on my left ring finger and 6 on my right, so this is very helpful! I am glad to know that the smaller size is plenty big! And your hands look great! I wish I had young hands! Like @BigAkoya is considering, I think I need one TSC ring once I figure out my other pieces!I was recently able to try the two sizes of the Classic Moonstone ring. Both the larger and the smaller versions felt too big in scale for me, but both are beautiful, and were fun to try. Sharing pics here if of interest. I wasn't going to share my full hand pic, as don't like the way it looks! But will do so here among friends! For reference, on my ring finger I wear size 5.5 and on my middle finger, size 7. Both these rings were size 6.5.

Any owl lovers out there?
I can't believe the owl ring just showed up on her website! The owl ring is from her special Golden Menagerie collection she had a few years ago. I've only seen it in photos. I've been through her website often, and I do not recall seeing this piece. Perhaps I missed it.
Here it is in case anyone is interested: 18K Athena Owl Ring – Temple St. Clair (templestclair.com)
In case you were not aware, she has another book.. Golden Menagerie, Temple St. Clair book | ASSOULINE
The cover shows the owl ring. Scroll through and see other photos. I usually buy most jewelry and gem books to study them. However, I did not buy this book as some of the pieces are scary to me. The bat is frightening, and I feel the fox is going to bite me.
If anyone has this book, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Temple St Clair jewelry: a magical menagerie of one of a kind creatures
Dubbed Mythical Creatures from the Golden Menagerie, the latest collection of Temple St. Clair jewelry is a bestiary of extraordinary animals.www.thejewelleryeditor.com
There are some good YouTube videos of TSC, also. I've only watched a couple so far, but I enjoyed them. This one is a short introduction to her show of Golden Menagerie at the Louvre. I love that she's wearing the large vine pendant and I think she chose the perfect chain. @etoile de mer Do you think it's the classic oval? I think Arno is larger. She has on the Foglia earrings I want, too!
Wow, just wow!!! I think I only predicted 1 of the 3 other pieces you would consider as a set with the Tolomeo, and that is the ring! Even there, I was thinking of the rainbow version, but I agree that this might be overkill/the diamond version might be more pleasing with the rainbow Tolomeo pendant. Really, all of your choices are delightful and I think they would go together perfectly. The earrings and ring are lovely, but that sundial bracelet, especially... talk about show stopping! Indeed, amazing that it is a working sundial!So... there two pieces I love love love from TSC. The first of course is Tolomeo. The second is the Sundial bangle as I love bold bangles/cuffs: 18K Sundial Bracelet – Temple St. Clair (templestclair.com)
I know the bangle would look terrible in WG. I am certain of it as there is too much metal. However, I love this bangle in YG. If you read the description, it is also a true working sundial! How amazing is that? I love creative artistic pieces, and this is one of them. It is also part of the Celestial collection which Tolomeo is part of.
Staying with the Celestial theme...
For my third piece, I would get simple earrings, just little studs as I don't like to bling out my ears.
I love these earrings: 18K Sole Luna Earrings – Temple St. Clair (templestclair.com)
For my fourth piece, I'm a ring gal and always need a ring. If I had purchased Tolomeo in WG, I have other colored gemstone rings in platinum I was going to wear with it. However, I do not have any rings YG. I only have a small Ceylon sapphire that was my first anniversary gift from hubby which I kept as a sentimental item.
For my TSC YG set, I was thinking of the Tolomeo ring to stay with the theme: 18K Diamond Tolomeo Ring – Temple St. Clair (templestclair.com)
This ring also comes in the multi-color sapphire version, but I feel it would compete with the actual Tolomeo pendant and be too much on my arm (chunky bangle and colors on my finger). I also want the pendant to be the star. Here it is as FYI. 18K Tolomeo Ring – Temple St. Clair (templestclair.com)
That would be my one YG set. I don't know though.
Last night after I told my husband I am going to dump the TSC WG idea, I start to visualize all the YG pieces on me as if I were wearing them. It's so much YG. I need to try on YG pieces in real life.
In the meantime, I shall live vicariously through all of you and your gorgeous pieces!
Me too, thank you @DS2006 !! So much eye candy! And @etoile de mer, I had the exact same thought about the earrings..I loved the way they seemed to dance with the slightest movementI loved that video so much, thanks for sharing! I love that she's received such acclaim for her beautiful work. Will look for more of her videos on YouTube. I think she may be wearing the Arno with her Vine Amulet. Hard to be certain. You had me counting links, and trying to judge relative sizes! I noticed the Foglia earrings, too! Loved seeing them worn, they have such great movement. Made me feel certain I do want them!
I don’t know if you’re in the minority, but you’re not alone - I love them, too!So interesting! I love that everyone can make her pieces absolutely their own by choosing chains and pendants to pair. I may be in the minority it seems, but I love the big, loopy chains (within reason) paired with the amulets. Just so TSC in my mind, and part of why I fell in love with her jewelry. I tend to read the chain an amulet as an integral pair, so in my mind the larger chains don't detract.
@iggybedora, this pairing looks wonderful, and you wear it beautifully!! Thank you for the pictures!This is the 18" btw. Agree with @etoile de mer that it's a personal preference--i think trying it on in person will really help!
I LOVE TSC pieces!
I have looked at your pics ladies and they are all stunning.
I have wanted an amulet for quite some time. I have gotten to play with her pieces a lot, I just never pulled the trigger. She used to have sample sales a lot. I don't think they do them anymore. You could find killer pieces for a fraction of the price.
I would love to visit her studio in SoHo. Need to make that happen. Who wants to join me? haha.
I would love a custom made Amulet. I am drawn to her moonstones and I love bee motifs she does.
I have been watching a lot of videos.
Here is a great one from last spring.
@BigAkoya I would love to see you try some YG. I am waiting to see if you feel it suits you. I know you love the cool crispness of wg and you may fall for the warmth of YG with spring and summer coming up and you desiring some blue colored gems or stones .
One word on her chains, I see you all talking about. They are very pricey!! They are supposedly hand made and very hefty to hold the pieces as they can be weighty. I can't wait to go back and play with more pieces and maybe start a small collection!
I just made a few VCA and Cartier purchases this week and need to halt, but I am so drawn to a few of her things. I love the lightness her jewelry brings.
Another fab video! Grab a drink and have fun!
