All Temple of the Sun pieces are designed by Yonna Derofe and imbued with the rich cultural experience of her upbringing in the cosmopolitan mecca of 1970 Istanbul. A masterful silversmith and ceramicist, her designs expertly blend ancient archetypal symbology with contemporary silhouettes, creating unique designs that are at once desirable, timeless and steeped in meaning.

Temple of the Sun began its journey by crafting high-quality 18K gold vermeil and ethical 925 sterling silver jewellery. Yonna personally sources rare one-of-a-kind stones, including RJC-certified emeralds, rubies, Australian blue sapphires and conflict-free natural diamonds certified by the Kimberley Process, to compliment her contemporary designs.

Adorned by the likes of Nicole Kidman and endorsed by InStyle, Fashion Journal and Broadsheet, Temple has amassed a loyal following of admirers worldwide and a reputation as one of Australia’s most sought-after brands.

Born from a love of doing things differently, Temple of the Sun jewellery is an invitation to express yourself and chronicle significant moments that are unique to you on your own journey through life.
