Claddagh Dangle Earrings with Amethyst
- Celtic Fede Gift of Love -
- Celtic Fede Gift of Love -
These lovely Claddagh earrings feature silver "crowned heart in hands" love charms, purple amethyst gemstones, green unakite, and Swarovski cystals. The charms, from TierraCast (made in the USA), are silver-on-pewter hoops with the Irish hands-and-heart symbol forming the lower center of the hoops. The charms are well detailed and nicely visible without being too heavy.
To ornament these charms, I drew on my experiences visiting Ireland, remembering time spent exploring the Irish countryside amid the purple heather and rich green of late summer. To represent the first, I used faceted amethyst beads; for the greenery, I decided on unakite, which has variegated green coloring along with salmon touches and mineral nodules. The meaning of this gemstone—unity—influenced my choice.
Also included with these earrings are Swarovski sparkling bicone crystals, sterling spacer beads (made in Italy), rhodium-on-pewter knobbed spacer beads (made in USA), and sterling silver ear hooks. The length here is 2 inches, including the hooks.
These pretty and meaningful Celtic love earrings would make a perfect gift of love for a mother, grandmother, wife, or girlfriend. Anyone who loves Ireland would also find them special. They were handmade by me with care, thought, and best wishes for their destined wearer. They come in a nice organza bag, wrapped and ready for gifting!
About the Claddagh
This Irish symbol originated in the Claddagh area of Galway, at one time a separate village from the city. The symbol was traditionally used in Ireland to embellish "fede" rings, which date back to ancient Rome and were common in Europe after the Dark Ages. Fede rings typically include the image of joined hands, a symbol of love's pledge and loyalty. Like most rings of this kind, the Claddagh served as an engagement ring or a wedding band—and still does. Today the symbol is also used in various kinds of jewelry and may express friendship or maternal love as well as romantic love. As for the image of the symbol, the Claddagh depicts two hands holding a regally crowned heart; the hands represent friendship, with the crown standing for loyalty atop a loving heart. Among the sentiments connected with the Claddagh is the saying "Let love and friendship reign."
About Unakite & Amethyst
Unakite is traditionally considered a healing gem of positive connection and energy. It is also seen as a stone of connection and unity, which dovetails with the meaning of the Claddagh charms. The term "epidote" comes from the Greek "epidosis," which means "growing together." It is associated with the heart chakra.
A member of the quartz family, amethyst is often considered a protective, talismanic stone. It is associated with the crown chakra and is the birthstone for February. Amethysts are crystals and often have inclusions, clouding, and other interesting elements to them, as well as various shadings of their distinctive purple color.

$60.00
Amber is deep and imbedded with memories of times past. Reminiscent of amber, here is a handmade dichroic glass jewelry set with shimmering amber depths and black inclusions! Like long ago memories, this mysterious jewelry set sparkles with a deep intrigue. The black based fused glass is layered with rich sparkling golden amber dichroic glass. There are streamers and streaks of black embedded in the depths of the glass. A clear layer has been fused to the top of the cabochons to protect the dichroic layer and create a beautiful lens effect. The glass has been fully fused at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit to create absolutely beautiful cabochons.
The pendant is a long oval with a black base, gold filigree edges and amazing top layers of brilliant amber, coppery dichroic glass! The pendant is hung from a gold plated heart bail.
The oval dangle earrings mirror the beauty of the pendant and are hung from gold plated bails and good quality gold filled ear wires.
The pendant measures .5 inches wide by 1.5 inches tall, including the gold plated heart bail. The earrings are about .5 inches wide by 1.25 inches long, including the ear wires. This is a one-of-a-kind jewelry set that is very unusual. Necklace options are available in the necklace section of this shop.

"We Rise" Boho Statement Necklace
- Spiral Goddess Inspirational Pendant -
- Spiral Goddess Inspirational Pendant -
This "We Rise" statement necklace for women features an artisan-made Mother Goddess pendant, Greek ceramic beads, copper metal, genuine deer lace, and three types of wooden beads. The pendant is made of polyclay and entrancing in design, with the goddess' hair given a whimsical wildness and spirals stylistically used for her arms and legs. "We Rise" is a positive, life-affirming motto of unity and self-assertion, of social change and individual empowerment. As an inspirational sentiment, it is a fitting companion for the symbol of the Mother Goddess, herself a life-affirming symbol of nature and inner growth.
The colorful ceramic beads are from Mykonos and were made in Greece. They are tube shaped and bring a sense of tribal fun to the necklace. As for the wooden beads, there are four kinds: bayong medium brown bead, bayong small brown bead, striped brown bead, and dark brown hand-carved bicone bead. The organic nature of these beads goes well with the ceramic tubes in terms of both color and of texture, thus enhancing the tribal boho styling. The length of the necklace strand is approximately 21.5 inches, including the hook clasp. The pendant is about 2.25 inches long, so the complete length as worn, including pendant, would be 23.75 inches.
With its lovely "We Rise" inspirational goddess pendant and bohemian tribal jewelry style, this one-of-a-kind statement necklace would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves unique and meaningful jewelry. It is also a great gift for a new mother or grandmother celebrating the maternal and feminine power of women, or someone on a neo-pagan spiritual pathway. Designed and handmade beaded by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer, this necklace comes boxed and all wrapped up and ready for gifting to someone uniquely special—maybe yourself!
About the Spiral Symbol
The spiral is a distinctive shape, with a dynamic quality that expresses movement and growth. The spiral can be seen in the form of immense cosmic galaxies as well as in the tiny whorls of a human fingerprint and the microscopic structure of DNA. We see spiraling shapes in certain seashells and plants as well. Since ancient times, people across a wide variety of cultures have found symbolic meaning in spirals. Possible interpretations include growth, fertility, the journey through life, time and its passage, the journey beyond life, the sun, protection against evil, and infinity.
About the Mother Goddess
Widely worshipped in ancient times, the Mother Goddess is associated with fertility, creation, maternal power, earth, and nature itself. Many ancient artifacts of her form have been discovered in Anatolia, Eastern Europe, Egypt, and the Near East. Archaeologists sometimes refer to these ancient renderings as "Venus" figures.
