About Temple of the Sun

Founded in 2014, Temple of the Sun is the shared creative vision of co-founders Yonna Derofe and Darren Gallant. Drawing on time-honoured craft, history, and the natural world, we translate the cultural heritage of the ancient Mediterranean basin through a uniquely Australian lens. Handcrafted heirlooms made from real, responsibly sourced materials, designed to be worn for a lifetime.

Temple now offers a comprehensive collection of jewellery, ranging from our signature recycled 925 sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil to the enduring luxury of solid 9k, 14k, 18k, and 24k gold. Each of our Ceremonial, Bespoke, and Heritage treasures is meticulously handcrafted within our dedicated studios in Byron Bay, Sydney, and Istanbul. Rooted in our unique Up-to-date Ancient design ethos, every heirloom is crafted with the intention to transcend passing trends and last for a lifetime.
