A New take on an old tradition

Mourning jewelry is a centuries-long tradition, providing a sense of comfort and closeness to the deceased. It can also serve as a source of strength for the living and keep a loved one's memories alive.

Tempus Metals specializes in solid, 18k gold and enamel, cremation, and memorial jewelry. Each piece is personalized, and our Cremation Collection is designed to hold your departed's ashes.

For those who want to embrace life to the fullest, our Memento Mori Collection is a beautiful reminder of one's mortality, providing a unique aesthetic and historical symbolism.

Who We Are

Tempus Metals was founded by Katie and Liz—two longtime friends, artists, and jewelry lovers who believe that jewelry should be more than just beautiful. It should tell a story. Whether that story is one of remembrance, love, transformation, or celebration, each piece we create is designed to hold deep personal meaning, stand the test of time, and be cherished for generations. Our goal is to craft meaningful jewelry that not only honors your memories—but becomes part of them.
