Marcus Tempus
A playful take on an everyday gold necklace, this delicate design features a beautifully formed bow with fine rope-twist detailing. The texture catches the light across each loop and tail, giving the petite bow definition and character while keeping the overall look elegant and easy to wear.
Set on a fine 45 cm gold chain, it's a lovely little statement worn alone and an especially sweet addition to The Gold Collection by Marcus Tempus.

The Collection
Some jewellery needs no gemstone to become distinctive. A beautifully proportioned hoop, a polished gold stud, a softly twisted chain or a sculptural bangle can make the precious metal itself the centre of the design.
The Gold Collection brings together pieces selected for their shape, texture, movement and wearability — from dependable everyday essentials to jewellery with a little more presence.
Everyday Gold
Pieces designed to become part of the jewellery you instinctively reach for.The Philosophy
We think of gold jewellery much like a wardrobe: start with beautifully made essentials, then add texture, scale and personality as your collection grows.
A simple pair of studs may become an everyday signature. A fine chain creates the foundation for layering. A larger hoop or textured bangle can provide the statement.
The Foundations
The pieces that earn their place through sheer wearability. Simple, versatile and easy to combine with jewellery you already own.
Understated and endlessly useful. Classic gold studs work alone, in second piercings or as the foundation of a layered ear.
From petite polished hoops to softly rounded profiles, the right pair can move effortlessly between casual and more formal dressing.
Worn alone, paired with a pendant or layered together, a well-proportioned gold chain is one of the most adaptable pieces in a jewellery collection.
Delicate chains and classic gold bracelets add a subtle finish to the wrist and combine naturally with watches and bangles.
The Ear Edit
Gold hoops can change character dramatically with only a small change in diameter, thickness or profile.
Smaller hoops offer an easy everyday finish, while larger or wider designs create more presence. Twisted, textured and double-profile styles introduce interest without relying on gemstones.
Comfortable, subtle and easy to wear from morning through to evening.
A balanced size that adds visible gold while remaining easy to style.
Greater scale allows the silhouette of the jewellery to become part of the outfit.
Styling Gold
Layering works best when each piece has enough space to retain its own character.
A delicate chain creates a natural first layer and works beautifully with small pendants.
Different chain lengths help each necklace sit separately rather than competing at the same level.
Combining smooth, twisted or patterned links introduces depth even when every piece is the same gold colour.
A stronger chain or distinctive pendant can anchor a layered arrangement without overwhelming it.
Gold as the Design
Without a gemstone taking centre stage, every proportion becomes more noticeable. The curve of a hoop, the rhythm of a link and the way a polished surface catches light become part of the jewellery's identity.
Twisted and rope-inspired designs are particularly effective because movement creates changing highlights across the gold as the jewellery is worn.
Find Your Gold
Gold studs, petite hoops, delicate chains and simple bracelets designed for frequent wear.
Distinctive twists, interesting profiles and stronger shapes that remain highly wearable.
Larger hoops, bolder chains and more substantial designs where gold itself becomes the focal point.
Understanding Your Jewellery
Many pieces within The Gold Collection are crafted in 9ct gold, a practical precious-metal alloy widely used for fine jewellery in Britain.
Where applicable, product specifications identify the gold fineness, weight and dimensions so you can understand the individual piece before purchasing.
The 375 fineness mark indicates an alloy containing 37.5% pure gold.
The 750 fineness mark indicates an alloy containing 75% pure gold.
Jewellery Care
Gold jewellery naturally picks up fingerprints, cosmetic residue and fine surface marks through normal wear. Regular gentle cleaning helps preserve its brightness.
Use lukewarm water, mild soap and a very soft brush. Rinse carefully and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Keeping pieces apart helps reduce unnecessary rubbing, tangling and surface scratching.
Take jewellery off for strenuous activity, swimming, household cleaning and situations where it may be caught or knocked.
Marcus Tempus Collection Selection
We look beyond the metal alone. Proportion, comfort, finish, construction and everyday wearability all matter. The aim is a collection containing reliable jewellery essentials alongside pieces with enough texture and personality to feel distinctive.

A 375 fineness mark indicates 9ct gold, containing 37.5% pure gold combined with other metals to create a jewellery alloy.
Yes. 9ct gold is widely used for everyday jewellery, although all fine jewellery should be protected from hard knocks, chemicals and unnecessary abrasion.
Clean it gently using lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft brush, then rinse carefully and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Smaller hoops are ideal for understated everyday wear, medium hoops provide more presence and larger hoops create a stronger statement.
Combining different lengths helps each chain remain visible. Mixing link textures and weights can also create a more considered layered look.
Many gold jewellery repairs are possible, including chain and clasp repairs, ring sizing, polishing and laser welding, depending on the construction and condition of the piece.
