Mother of Pearl Rose Necklace, Purple Pearls Handmade Flower Jewelry


mother of pearl rose flower necklace gift for women



With a radiant mother of pearl shell flower pendant, the GARDEN OF THE OCEAN handmade necklace makes an absolutely delightful statement whenever worn. The one of a kind necklace features a glowing white mother of pearl carved pendant, rich purple baroque pearls and lead free pewter lantern beads. A beautiful hand carved rose with flowing petals and a stem with two leaves can be found in the middle of the mother of pearl pendant. A line was carved all along the outer edge. Because of the carving, the pendant has beautiful texture which is highlighted when the light hits it just right. Unfortunately, the photos don’t show just how luminous the natural radiance of the shell is as the light plays across it. It’s almost as if the pendant has its own internal light source! The back is silky smooth and slightly concave. For security, a heavy duty sterling silver jump ring attaches the pendant to the main body of the necklace.

To highlight the pendant perfectly, rich purple freshwater pearls make up the main body of the necklace.  Since the large beauties are more oval shape, with many having natural ridges, they are called baroque pearls.  Between each set of three pearls at the front of the necklace are glowing pewter lantern beads separated by sterling silver daisy spacers and small sterling beads.  Each pearl is separated from the other with sterling silver beads for a sinuous feel. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the GARDEN OF THE OCEAN necklace is a lovely gift for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry.

Dragonfly Gemstone Necklace

This Dragonfly Gemstone Necklace design is for the woman who loves dragonflies and believes in healing gemstones. It’s subtle green and amethyst beads are mixed with aventurine hearts and cubes.

First, this necklace is perfect for Spring and Summer and it's versatile because it can be worn casually with jeans and a white Tee or dressed up with a light colored blouse or dress.



Second, you'll love to have this dragonfly necklace as part of your jewelry collection. It's a one-of-a-kind design.

Finally, the focal point is a silvertone dragonfly which symbolizes change, transformation, adaptability, and self-realization.
  • The dragonfly pendant is 2 inches long and 2.5 inches wide.
  • The entire necklace length is 32 inches, since the style is to wear longer necklaces now.
  • I did include my signature toggle clasp for easy on and off, but you might be able to gently put it on over your head.
You can see the necklace and read more about the healing characteristics here.

Turquoise Patina Butterfly Earrings, Boho Copper Spiral Handmade Jewelry


butterfly earrings with turquoise patina boho mothers day gift



The TURQUOISE BUTTERFLIES handmade earrings feature cheerful Mykonos butterfly charms hanging in front of rich turquoise patinated copper dangles with hand formed copper swirls. Fun, boho jewelry, the one of a kind earrings will certainly be noticed each and every time you wear them! Individually artisan handmade, the copper trapezoids (the bottom is wider than the top) charms were given a rustic turquoise patina, reminiscent of the rich colors of old copper roofs in Europe and other historic buildings. The turquoise color runs from dark to light with some of the dark copper showing through. To add extra eye appeal, shiny copper spirals and swirls were added to the top of the trapezoid, a perfect color complement against the turquoise. The back of each is shiny copper with dots and splotches of patina. Since the turquoise patinated charms were individually created, they are very similar in design but not exactly the same.


turquoise butterflies jewelry gift for her



To add whimsy and fun to the earrings, butterflies were wire wrapped to the end of a spiral. The beautiful butterfly charms were cast on the Greek island of Mykonos, created from a lead free pewter base and then covered with a layer of pure copper. The copper then was given a turquoise patina to bring out the incredible detail of the butterflies. Because of the way the charms are wire wrapped they seem to flitter at each movement of the earrings. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TURQUOISE BUTTERFLIES were created for the woman who loves unique jewelry with a definite boho flair!

Here is the important information for the TURQUOISE BUTTERFLIES handmade earrings:
  • Turquoise patina trapezoid charms: app. 14 mm (at top), 17 mm (at bottom) x 38 mm (including copper spirals); artisan handmade by Kathleen Hamilton
  • Mykonos butterfly charms: app. 10 mm x 11 mm (at widest); turquoise patina
  • Metal: copper, pewter and sterling silver
  • Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accent

Blue & White Boho Chic Dangle Earrings
- Artisan Tin Floral Charms, OOAK -

https://www.etsy.com/prettygonzo/listing/637031946/blue-white-earrings-for-women-boho-chic?ref=shop_home_active_8&frs=1

These unique boho chic earrings feature handcrafted floral tin charms, blue wooden rounds, white bone heishi spacers, and sterling silver elements. The highlight here is the pair of floral charms, which were artisan-upcycled from a vintage English tin. The artisan did a lovely job of smoothing the edges, and the result is a stylish, lightweight focal twosome. Their design is somewhat abstract and suggests budding white flowers against a blue sky.

To complement the blue and white of the focals, I chose the wooden rounds and bone spacers. Hidden inside the wood are Japanese seed beads, to keep the rounds straight on their earring pins. Sterling silver spacers and petalled bead caps add extra shine to the design.

The earring hooks are sterling silver, and decorated by me with clear Swarovski bicone crystals for a sparkling accent. The length here is approximately 2.25 inches, including the earrings hooks.

Elegant, earthy, and eye-catching, these one-of-a-kind boho chic earrings would make a lovely addition to any collection of statement jewelry. A perfect gift for women who love unique dangles, they were handmade beaded by me with care, thought, and best wishes for their destined wearer. They come on a PrettyGonzo earring card, all wrapped and ready for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself!

Be Happy It's Purim Earrings

Be Happy It's Purim Earrings

The word "purim" means lots and is from the Biblical Book of Esther which is read on Purim. It is because Haman, the villain drew lots to choose the day to exterminate the Jews* and he wore a tri-cornered lot. The Book of Esther is where the expression "The Whole Megillah" comes from.

Celebrate Queen Esther and Mordechai who saved the Jews from extinction when you hear the Megillah at synagogue. 

Purim begins in 2019 at sundown on Wed. March 20 and continues through Thursday, March 21 at sundown. 

Purim Earrings - Grager Earrings - Jewish holiday earrings - Jewish jewelry are for you to remember the noise you make when the bad guy's name is mentioned during the Megillah reading on Purim. 


  • They have Czech glass medium blue crystals and Swarovski crystals along with Czech rondelles for some additional bling. 
  • These earrings are on silvertone earwires and are around 2" long.

The heroes of the Purim story are Esther, a beautiful young Jewish woman living in Persia, and her cousin Mordecai, who raised her as if she were his daughter. Esther was taken to the house of Ahasuerus, King of Persia, to become part of his harem. King Ahasuerus loved Esther more than his other women and made Esther queen, but the king did not know that Esther was a Jew, because Mordecai told her not to reveal her identity.

It's a joyous Jewish holiday where drinking is encouraged, people dress up in costumes, and make a lot of noise. 

The Jewish charm earrings are handmade with love by Linda B of LinorStore. 

Pearl Dangle Earrings





I handcrafted these French hoop earrings using bronze color craft wire. I added pearls to headpins then attached them to a jumpring to hang beautifully from the ear wires.

Bird Earrings, Vintage Tea Tin Nuthatch Handmade Birder Jewelry Gift


nuthatch bird earrings for women



The BIRDS OF A FEATHER handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift idea for the woman who is a birder or just loves birds! The fun, one of a kind earrings feature vintage tea tin charms with a whimsical nuthatch design. To simply and perfectly complement the birds, three Swarovski crystals hang in a cluster below the dangles. The whimsical bird on the charms is a nuthatch, perhaps a pygmy nuthatch, in a pose that is so evocative of the tiny bird as it creeps up and down a tree searching for insects. The art work has a watercolor feel, with the bird’s black head, gray back and peachy underside. A single green leaf is found with a misty, swirling background. The unique upcycled nuthatch charms were individually hand cut from a vintage tea tin, the edges ground to a silky smooth finish. The backside of each charm is a matte gold.

vintage tea tin bird jewelry



To add eye catching sparkle to the bird earrings, a cluster of three Swarovski crystals and sterling silver beads dangle below the charms. The color is called “padparadscha,” a delicate mixture of pink and orange reminiscent of the rare sapphire of the same name, perfectly highlighting the peachy color of the underside of the nuthatch. To add even more glitter, a single padparadscha crystal was added to each sterling silver earwire. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BIRDS OF A FEATHER earrings were created for the woman with a love for wild birds and one of a kind artisan jewelry.
