Even though they might look like it, the SATURN earrings weren’t discovered in deep space by the Hubble Telescope. They aren’t from a faraway galaxy but were handmade right here on planet Earth and are waiting for the perfect earthling to wear them! These one of a kind beauties feature artisan handmade lampwork glass beads in a Saturn shape and copper accents. The lampwork beads started out as individually created rich red glass rondelles. To add radiant mystery, a band of rainbow dichroic glass was added around the middle of each rondelle. The bands were then encased in clear glass for a 3-D effect. As you can see from the photos, the colors of the bands are brilliant and color shift depending on how the angle of the light hits the dichroic glass. The shimmering colors are the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Since each bead was individually artisan handmade, they are very similar but not exactly the same.
Red and copper is such a lovely color combination as these earrings surely show. Bright copper bead caps with a textured leafy design cap each end of the Saturn beads. Rustic copper discs and shiny copper bicones accent the top and bottom of each bead cap, adding even more texture. Sterling silver French hooks earwires with copper bicone bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SATURN lampwork beads were created for the woman who adores wearing jewelry that no one else in the universe has!
