Who are the owners of Tempus Metals?
Meet the Founders Behind Our Artisanal, Meaningful Designs
Tempus Metals was founded by Katie and Liz, two lifelong friends, artists, and jewelry designers who believe every piece should hold meaning as well as beauty.
Their work blends centuries-old mourning traditions with modern design, resulting in jewelry that feels timeless yet deeply personal. Unlike mass-produced pieces, every Tempus design is handmade in small batches or fully bespoke, using solid gold and traditional enameling techniques, rarely practiced today.
Our commitment to craftsmanship ensures each piece isn’t just worn, it’s cherished for generations.
