About Us
Meaningful jewelry, made with memory in mind.
Who We Are
Tempus Metals was founded by Katie and Liz—two longtime friends, artists, and jewelry lovers with a shared belief that jewelry should be more than just beautiful. It should tell a story. Whether that story is one of remembrance, love, transformation, or celebration, our pieces are crafted to hold deep personal meaning and stand the test of time.
Why “Tempus”?
Tempusis Latin for “time.” To us, it represents everything we value—how jewelry can mark a moment, honor a life, or become a thread connecting generations. Our work is about creating heirlooms that help people hold onto the intangible: memories, emotions, and the people they love.
What We Make
We specialize in memorial and heirloom jewelry, crafted using both traditional and modern techniques. Many of our designs are inspired by antique and Victorian aesthetics—crafted with techniques such as hot glass enamel, ashes inlay, engraving, and more. Every piece is custom created to reflect your unique story.
What Makes Us Different
We believe in slow craft and intentional design. We don’t mass produce. We don’t cut corners. Each piece is made with care, and often in collaboration with our clients, whose stories guide the creative process. From first sketch to final polish, we honor the emotional weight of the jewelry we make.
Our Favorite Part of the Work
Without question—it’s the people. Hearing your stories. Learning about your loved ones. Designing something that brings comfort or keeps a memory alive. It’s an honor we don’t take lightly.
