Marcus Tempus
A little light to carry with you.
Simple, symbolic and beautifully sparkling, the star is one of those designs that can mean something different to everyone.
Set with diamonds, this delicate star charm turns a familiar symbol into a miniature piece of fine jewellery. It could mark an achievement, represent someone who lights up your life, celebrate a new beginning — or simply be chosen because a little extra sparkle is never a bad idea.
Wear it alone on a fine chain for an understated diamond detail, or add it to a charm bracelet amongst other pieces collected to represent your own people, places and memories.
Small, precious and full of possibility — a little star for your own story.

Part of Charms by Marcus Tempus — Little Stories, Made to Wear
Little Stories, Made to Wear
Charms have long been worn as little reminders of the people, places, passions and moments that matter most.
A single charm can mark a journey, a hobby, a celebration or a memory. Over time, a growing collection can become something deeply personal — a miniature record of a life well lived.
Made to Collect
From playful everyday keepsakes to fine gold and gemstone-set pieces, charms can be collected gradually and worn in countless combinations.Store charms separately where possible and avoid unnecessary contact with perfume, lotions, household chemicals and abrasive surfaces.
Choosing Your Metal
Sterling silver is made from 92.5% pure silver combined with other metals for strength. Some pieces may also be rhodium plated to help maintain a bright white finish.
Gold-plated charms begin with a sterling silver base finished with a layer of gold. They offer the look of gold at an accessible price, though the plated surface may gradually wear with use.
Solid gold charms are made from gold alloy throughout rather than carrying only a surface layer. Our collection includes 9ct gold and selected higher-carat pieces.
Colour, Brilliance & Character
Selected Marcus Tempus charms feature natural gemstones chosen for colour, character and beauty.
Colour, inclusions and transparency can vary naturally from one gemstone to another, making each piece subtly individual.
Selected charms are set with natural diamonds, adding brilliance to designs ranging from playful motifs to precious keepsakes.
Explore our Gemstone Passports to learn more about individual gemstones, including colour, durability, care and natural character.
Stories From Another Era
Antique and vintage charms often have a character that is impossible to reproduce exactly. Many were made in solid gold or silver and may feature enamel, gemstones, engraving, articulated parts, lockets or miniature mechanical details.
Some were created as souvenirs of travel, others to mark occupations, hobbies, milestones or personal beliefs. Their wear, patina and older construction techniques can become part of their history.
Because each antique piece is individually assessed, descriptions will note metal, gemstones, condition and notable features wherever these can be established with confidence.
One Collection, Many Stories
Charms can be chosen for fun, sentiment, craftsmanship or rarity. There is no single right way to build a collection.
Playful sterling silver and gold-plated designs are ideal for gifting, everyday wear and building a collection gradually.
Precious metal charms set with natural gemstones and diamonds can become lasting keepsakes designed to be worn for many years.
Older charms bring history, craftsmanship and individuality — especially mechanical, engraved, enamelled and one-of-a-kind pieces.
Marcus Tempus Charm Collection
We select charms for design, craftsmanship, material, character and wearability. Our collection ranges from playful sterling silver and gold-plated pieces to solid gold, natural gemstone, diamond and antique charms.
Build Your Collection
Wear one charm on a chain, collect several on a bracelet, or mix metals, gemstones and different eras. Your collection can grow slowly and change with you.
Antique charms and natural gemstone pieces may vary individually in colour, wear, proportions and condition. Product descriptions will note important details wherever relevant.
