Diamonds May Be a Girl’s Best Friend,
But Sometimes You Need a Little Color in Your Life!

Our lives are decidedly unromantic, so we are instantly smitten with someone who lives beautifully. And jeweler Temple St. Clair is definitely that person. Her artist’s eye finds the romance in the smallest details, exquisite gold craftsmanship and the most gorgeous materials—her moonstone pieces are enough to make you give up your job and run away with a ring!

Or maybe that’s just us… in any case, Alchemy in the Pearl is hosting a Temple St. Clair trunk show—it’s a two-day event this Friday & Saturday. What better way to work off Thanksgiving calories than by power-shopping for exquisite baubles? Right?

Every purchase at the trunk show will score you a copy of her book, Alchemy: A Passion for Jewels, which is as luscious as her actual work. And if you have any sort of wanderlust or artistic dreams, be prepared for major satisfaction as you turn each page.

And in case you didn’t know, Alchemy is Portland’s best-kept jewelry secret. We are so in love with this place! Their jewelry is lovingly designed and crafted—much of it by local jewelers. While you’re there, check out the fabulosity from Alex Sepkus, Sarah Graham, Zaffiro, and Victor Velyan, and more, and tell them Portland Picks sent you!
