The Temple St. Clair for Target Collection Looks Like Crown Jewels
Meghan Young — August 19, 2010 — Fashion
The baroque quality behind the Temple St. Clair for Target collection has me wanting the entire line. Although the colorful jewels may lead some to deem the collaboration as gaudy, I find it eccentric and exotic. These are the statement accessory pieces that fall is calling for.
Available from August 29 to December 28, 2010, the pieces in the limited edition Temple St. Clair for Target collection are made using 14 carat gold. With stunning colorful stones, they look fit for royalty. I didn't even scoff at the idea of these pieces being considered as "heirlooms."
