"We're thrilled to be working with a jeweler with such a distinguished history as Michael C. Fina,” said founder Temple St. Clair Carr.  “Michael C.

When you purchase a piece of jewelry from Michael C. Fina, it is helping you create a special moment in your own history, and what better way to commemorate a milestone than with a piece that not only conveys beauty, but also deep meaning,” said Steven Fina, VP of Michael C. Fina. Temple St. Clair Fine Jewelry was founded in 1986 in Florence, Italy by designer Temple St. Clair Carr. In the process of completing her master’s degree in classical Italian studies, her mother visited her in Florence and wanted an ancient coin set into a necklace. They found a coin with a Carthaginian goddess and were then introduced to a talented goldsmith; from there her namesake collection of fine jewelry was born. In combining exquisite materials and craftsmanship in an old world tradition with an independent and modern spirit of design, Temple creates distinctive jewelry for the modern woman.
