We are thrilled to be help celebrate Dressage at Devon's 50th Anniversary, with surprises for you!
My business model began with an inherited medallion of horses and the desire to have lovely horse designs to wear.
I wanted to retire from my dental prosthetic work and still use my skill set where possible.
Forward to “Tempi Design Studio” as a tribute to the dental arts “studio” I had worked as a career for 24 years and “Tempi” meaning change.
Horse jewelry and accessories that I could find appeared more animated and cartoonish than what I wanted to wear in the 90’s.
My thoughts were to go for a raised sculpted look with the accurate pose, breed and even tack of various riding disciplines.
I started with a photo for a reference and began with a cover photo of Courtnry Dye-King on Mythilus [ long before her injury].
It was a massive hit, so additional pieces of the design came out with earrings and various shapes and sizes of pendants.
Next the jumper riders wanted something.
I found a photo of a well tacked up horse over a fence, and spent many hours toiling on the details…but it was so worth it.
This design started as a brooch and became a full series of every piece imaginable—including a new Holiday ornament this season!
I would attend horse shows as a vendor and ask people what they would like to see next.
Driving and Cross Country designs were followed by various horse shoes, stirrup versions, and stock pins.
One person suggested belt buckles for non jewelry people, and even though it was challenging, it started to work out.
This is how the business grew.
Fast forward many years later, Tempi continues to reach and grow and provide WOW designs, previously not attempted.
Additionally Tempi also does year end awards for certain equine organizations, prototypes for other companies, and custom work featuring your photo or farm logo.
My work is challenging, creative and fun!
