The SWEET SUMMER DREAMS handmade earrings will be reached for time and time again as the lazy days of summer roll on, as you head to the beach or need that unique pair of earrings for fun and frolic with friends. The one of a kind earrings feature slices of orange spotted white mitra sea shells (sometimes called Episcopal mitres) bonded together with orange resin. The shells are two sided, each side spotted with a different pattern, but the most colorful sides are to the front.
To add a note of beautiful whimsy, rich burnt orange Czech glass pansy flower beads were placed on top of the mitra shells, separated by a copper daisy spacer. The pansy beads are translucent so positively glow when backlit and have a Picasso finish to give them a vintage look. Sterling silver earwires with copper bead accents finish the beauties. Designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SWEET SUMMER DREAMS earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves sea shells and artisan crafted jewelry.
