Orange Dangle Earrings Boho Style with Glass Beads, 3-inch Long

Be a gypsy! These dangle earrings for women are made for dancing! If you love the freedom of the boho earrings style, then I made these just for you! Throw your head with wild abandonment and watch the earrings swing.

They are part of my earth series and filled with colors found in nature. Each handmade polymer clay bead has been created using earthy chalks and mounted on long dangles with added accent beads and silvertone findings. I added lampwork glass to these polymer clay earrings.

These dangle earrings reach 3-inches from the drop to the bottom.

  • Type: Boho Earrings
  • Stock: ER - 14
  • Color: Brown
  • Size: 3-inches
  • Blue Morning Expressions

From my new series "Earth", each handmade polymer clay bead has been baked, distressed and mounted with the utmost of care. Each pair of long earrings from this series have been adorned with my handmade polymer clay beads and other accent beads. They are colorfast and durable.  Each polymer clay bead has been sealed. Each pair of boho earrings are designed in a Bohemian jewelry style for the gypsy in you.

The main dangle is secured to a silvertone earwire that comes with a stopper.

Black White Necklace, Classy Chunky Gemstone Jewelry Quartzite Jade


white quartzite and black jade necklace



The MIDNIGHT MAGIC necklace is a piece of boldly beautiful gemstone jewelry for the woman who is not afraid to make an elegant statement! This chunky, one of a kind necklace features glittering white quartzite (sometimes called snow quartz) in a unique rounded diamond shape with a natural matte finish. Because of the distinctive crystalline structure of the quartzite, each gemstone exudes subtle, eye catching sparkle as the light plays across the surface. As the necklace is worn, the quartzite will roll, adding kinetic energy to the design. The quartzite is on the chunkier side but is not overpowering or extremely heavy. Sterling silver daisy spacers frame each quartzite diamond.


chunky black and white necklace for women



Since black and white is such a classic combination, super shiny black jade rounds were used to take that combination to a whole new level. Black jade gets its lustrous color from high amounts of iron and/or graphite. Because it is very dense and tough, it has been valued for centuries to make weapons and tools. Today, black jade is very popular in trendy jewelry. Small sterling silver beads separate each gemstone from the other. From dress up (little black dress?) to casual clothes (white t-shirt and black jeans, perhaps?), the chunky necklace will definitely show your extreme good taste each time it is worn. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, MIDNIGHT MAGIC will be a necklace you will treasure for many years to come.

  • Black jade: app. 12 mm

Lotus Flower Glass & Crystal Earrings
- Blue Lampwork Artisan Beads, Carved Bone -
  


These unique lotus flower earrings are a lovely union of carved bone and blue lampwork glass beads with pink-toned crystals and sterling silver components. The bone lotus beads are a creamy color with nice hand-carved petals. The lampwork beads are rondelle-shaped, with an etched surface that gives them the look of sea glass. They were made by talented artisan Charlotte Hayes of CoverGirlBeads. I chose them to represent the blue celestial skies reflected in the waters on which the lotus flowers would float.

The pink-toned crystals are Swarovski padparadscha bicones. Their pink hue has hints of orange—a color combination based on that of a rare sapphire. The word "padparadscha" is derived from the Sanskrit "padma raga," which means "hue similar to lotus flower." Crystals of this color are thus very fitting for lotus bead earrings!

Also included in these Buddhist inspired earrings are the following:

• Sterling silver rondelles and head pins
• Sterling bead caps and daisy spacers
• Swarovski AB crystal bicones
• Sterling silver hooks and ear guards

For an extra touch of elegance, and to enhance the lotus flower's symbolic meaning of spiritual illumination, I decorated the front of the hooks with the AB finished crystals. (For more about the lotus flower as a symbol, please see below.) The length of this pair is approximately 2 inches, including the ear hooks.

These wonderful earrings were handmade by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for their destined wearer. They come on a PrettyGonzo earring card and in a nice organza bag, all wrapped and ready for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself!

About the Symbol of the Lotus Flower
As beautiful in meaning as it is in form, the lotus is one of our most positive symbols. It holds significance for anyone undergoing life changes, working toward inner peace, or dealing with life's many struggles.

There are many types of natural lotus plants, but the symbolic variety is typically the white or pink lotus that carries spiritual importance in India and Asiatic countries. In Hinduism, this aquatic flower often serves as a seat or platform for divinities such as Vishnu and Ganesh; in Buddhism, it provides a seat for bodhisattvas. Lotuses adorn headdresses and crowns in the iconography of these religions. In Tibetan scroll paintings (thangkas), they often float through skies or on rivers. Divinities and bodhisattvas often hold them as if they were precious jewels, and indeed, in meaning, the lotus is the most precious jewel of all.

The key to this meaning is the purity and beauty of the blossom despite its origins from a seed embedded in the mud of the water's bed below. Despite the world of illusion and egocentric desires (symbolized by the mud), awareness, growth, and transformation are possible (symbolized by the blossom). The lotus thus represents spiritual flowering and attainment—a great awakening from the dark, shadowy regions of ignorance and misunderstanding into the illumination of truth, beauty, and wisdom.

Faithful Dog Rescue Necklace, Pewter Jasper Red Coral Handmade Jewelry


dog necklace gift for women



The one of a kind FAITHFUL necklace is a perfect piece of handmade jewelry to gift a woman who loves dogs, especially if her dog(s) is a rescue. The meaningful design features a two sided, lead free pewter dog pendant with a rustic, wax seal stamp style. Brilliant red coral nuggets and earthy Picasso jasper highlight the dog pendant perfectly. The star of the one of a kind necklace is the lead free pewter dog pendant. It has a wonderfully rustic look to it since it was patterned after wax seal stamps that were once used to secure letters and documents. The pendant is two-sided. The front features a raised dog design with the word “faithful” above it. The backside has the word FAITHFUL on a raised sign. To lend a vintage feel, the charm was coated with a dark patina and then polished, leaving the raised areas shiny to bring out the lovely detail. The dog pendant is connected to the main body of the necklace with a heavy duty, sterling silver jump ring.

***  Please note:  when sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the FAITHFUL necklace will be donated to an animal rescue group to care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.



dog rescue necklace for women



To highlight the dog pendant, bright red coral nuggets and earthy colored Picasso jasper gemstones was used. Three pieces of red coral were used on each side of where the pendant connects and is then placed in groups of two with a jasper round separating them. The color of the Picasso jasper rounds range in shades of brown, from a light tan to darker browns, some with hints of gray. Some stones are part light in color and part dark, some with darker lines of matric running through them. Separating the red coral from the jasper are small, glowing sterling silver beads. The meaningful necklace is finished with a small toggle clasp set. The loop has five lines etched into the top and the bar is flared at the end. Created for the woman who cares for and loves dogs deeply, the unique FAITHFUL necklace was carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs
