Pink Flowers Enamel Earrings, White Blue Handmade Bold Dangle Jewelry

The "Flirting with Flowers" earrings feature artisan made pink flower enamel dangles, pink Czech glass discs and teal Czech glass - floral jewelry for women.

Long and dangly, the exquisite FLIRTING WITH FLOWERS handmade earrings are perfect for the woman who loves beautiful flower statement jewelry for summer wear! The one of a kind earrings feature enameled pink flower dangles and pink and teal Czech glass beads. Shiny white enamel glass powder was fused onto the front of copper blanks. Then a stencil and more enamel glass powder was used to create the design, using a high temperature butane torch. Two large pink flowers, green leaves, one small blue flower and one small teal flower were carefully created, along with some pink dots. The charms are basically mirror images of each other, but since they were hand enameled, they are not exactly the same.  The back of the charms are finished in black enamel. Despite the larger size of the earrings, the unique flower earrings are lightweight to wear.  Since the charms are the main focal of the earrings, simple pink Czech glass disks with a silvery Picasso finish and faceted teal beads were used to perfectly complement the colors of the flowers.  A single teal bead was added to the sterling silver French hooks for added beauty. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the long FLIRTING WITH FLOWERS dangle earrings are perfect jewelry accessories to dress up cool summer attire.

The pink flower enamel dangles were individually artisan handmade.

Here is the important information for the FLIRTING WITH FLOWERS earrings:

• Pink flower enamel dangles:  app: 40 mm x 26 mm (at widest) by 1.5 mm; handmade by Pearly Karpel
• Pink Czech glass discs:  app. 6 mm x 4 mm
• Faceted teal Czech glass beads:  app. 5 mm
• Metal:  copper (dangles) and sterling silver
• Earwires:  sterling silver French hooks with teal bead accents
• Length:  app. 3” / 7.6 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Southwest Spirals Earrings, Rustic Polymer Clay Turquoise Jewelry Gift

The "Desert Canyonlands" handmade earrings feature artisan polymer clay petroglyph spiral dangles, artisan  lampwork glass beads and genuine turquoise - unique jewelry for women.

Filled with the weathered, organic look of petroglyphs found in a deep canyon in the Desert Southwest, the DESERT CANYONLANDS are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves rustic looking, artisan jewelry. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan polymer clay dangles, artisan lampwork glass beads and genuine turquoise. The dangles were individually handmade from a single piece of white polymer clay, the swirling spiral design drawn freehand and then incised. The polymer clay was then cut in half, washed with dark brown and rusty copper acrylic pigments, and after the final curing, a crystal protectant was applied. Because the dangles are made from polymer clay, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  To perfectly complement the Southwest feel of the petroglyph design, speckled brown lampwork glass beads and genuine turquoise was used. The lampwork beads, also artisan handmade, were created from clear glass that was peppered with brown glass frit to make dots and splotches, perfect with the small dots on the polymer clay dangles. Stacked on the lampwork beads are genuine turquoise gemstone rounds, separated by copper daisy spacers. The turquoise has more of a greenish cast with a bit of pale brown. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique DESERT CANYONLANDS definitely evoke the spirit of the Desert Southwest for the woman who enjoys wearing artisan jewelry. 

The swirling polymer clay dangles were artisan handmade and inspired by Southwestern spiral petroglyphs.

Here's the important information for the DESERT CANYONLANDS earrings:

• Polymer clay petroglyph spiral dangles: app. 35 mm x 17 mm x 1.5 mm; artisan handmade by Pati Bannister
• Speckled brown lampwork beads: app. 10 mm x 6 mm
• Turquoise gemstone rounds: app. 5 mm
• Metal: copper and sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with copper ebad accents
• Length: app. 2.75” / 7.0 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Blue Flowers Hoop Earrings, Chrysanthemums Crystals Handmade Jewelry

The "Flores Azules" handmade earrings feature artisan blue flower on copper folded hoops and two colors of Swarovski crystals - floral jewelry for women.

If you have a real love for blue flowers and / or jewelry that highlights them, the FLORES AZULES handmade earrings are for you! The earrings feature vintage-look blue flower copper hoops and sparkling blue Swarovski crystals. Individually artisan handmade, the blue chrysanthemum flower images were permanently transferred to a length of copper sheeting and then folded into a hoop, the edges carefully filed and sanded for smoothness. The intricate floral design has old Victorian vibes and runs the full length of the hoop: the darker blue flowers on the front and lighter blue flowers on the back. To add even more blue to the earrings design, two shades and sizes of faceted blue Swarovski crystal bicones were stacked above the flower hoops. The larger light blue crystal is “light sapphire” blue; the smaller, darker crystal is “Montana sapphire.” Each crystal adds a huge dose of the spectacular sparkle that Swarovski crystals are famous for.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind FLORES AZULES earrings were created for the woman who loves unique flower jewelry with a lovely vintage look. "Flores azules" is Spanish for "blue flowers."

The blue chrysanthemum flower hoops were individually artisan handmade.

Here is the important information for the FLORES AZULES hoop earrings:

• Folded blue chrysanthemum flower hoops:  app. 18 bb x 11 mm x 10 mm; artisan handmade by Helena Benkoczka

Amber Lampwork & Amethyst Gemstone Earrings

- Sterling Silver Floral Beads, Artisan Glass Focal -

Amber lampwork glass and amethyst gemstone beads come together in a lovely stylish pair of sterling silver handmade dangle earrings. The pretty lampwork beads are rondelle shaped (wider than they are long) and wrapped in fine silver. They're also translucent, which gives them a fluid and dreamy quality. These shining beauties were handmade using premium materials by Charlotte Hayes of Covergirlbeads.

To these lampwork beads I added small faceted amethyst gemstone rounds and delightful little square-shaped sterling silver pillow beads, which have a raised granulation design of a six-petaled flower on the front and back.

The basic design of each dangle is an elegant stack from top to bottom of an amethyst round, a sterling pillow bead, a lampwork rondelle, and another amethyst round, with sterling silver daisy spacers between the beads. The dangle is made from sterling wire, with a loop at the base and a triple wire wrap at the top. I carefully hammered the loops for strength. There are also pink Japanese seed beads within the lampwork focals, to keep the large beads better centered on the wire; these little additions are unseen, but do their job nicely.

The earring hooks are French style (aka fish hook) and, like all the components in this special pair, are sterling silver. They come with clear ear guards for better security when the earrings are worn. For an extra touch of elegance, I added small Swarovski copper crystal bicones to the front of the hooks. Their color is a nice complement to the amber lampwork. Including the hooks, the length of these earrings is approximately 1 and 7/8 inches.

Unique and handmade with care and good wishes, these pretty earrings are elegantly versatile, ready to add an earthy touch to a more formal, dressy occasion or some eye-catching shine and sparkle to everyday wear. They come on earring cards and in a nice organza bag, all set for gifting to that special someone—perhaps yourself!

Frida Kahlo Earrings, Faux Vintage Rustic Handmade Boho Jewelry Gift

The rustic "Frida Kahlo" earrings feature artisan handmade copper Frida dangles, African batik bone beads and faceted black spinel - unique jewelry for women.

If you love the fascinating, vibrant life and art of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, you will absolutely love the aptly named FRIDA KAHLO earrings! The eye catching boho dangle earrings feature rustic faux vintage copper Frida dangles, black and white African batik bone beads and sparkling faceted black spinel gemstones. The unique Kahlo charms look as if they were cut from old cookie or tea tins. But they only mimic rustic vintage tins since they were individually artisan hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was applied and then sealed. The picture of Frida is an iconic self portrait painted in 1940, although it is a mirror image of the original. A black cat is on her right shoulder, one of her beloved pet monkeys is on her left, white butterflies are in her hair and she is wearing a symbolic thorn necklace.  Since the Frida charms are gorgeous in their own right, simple complements were all that was needed to complete the earrings.  Fair trade black and white African batik bone beads were stacked above the dangles. Each bone bead was individually created by an artist in a artisan cooperative in Ghana, so there are differences as you can see in the photos.  To add subtle sparkle, faceted jet black spinel gemstones were added, each separated from the bone beads by a copper daisy spacer. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FRIDA KAHLO earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who adores the magical realist art and intriguing life of the famous artist. 

The unique Frida Kahlo dangles were individually artisan handmade from copper with a permanent metal transfer.

Here is the important information for the FRIDA KAHLO earrings: 

• Frida Kahlo charms: app. 25 mm x 20 mm (at widest) x 1.5 mm; handmade by Helena Benkoczka
• African batik bone beads: app. 6 mm
• Faceted black spinel: app. 4 mm x 3 mm
• Metal: copper and sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accents
• Length: app. 2.25” / 5.7 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Chunky Tribal Necklace, Vintage Resin Bone Howlite Handmade Jewelry

The "Tribal Adventure" handmade necklace feature vintage resin beads, African batik bone beads and turquoise howlite - unique jewelry for women.

Filled with fabulous ethnic boho vibes, the chunky TRIBAL ADVENTURE necklace definitely makes a unique eye catching statement whenever worn (which will be often!). The one of a kind necklace features three vintage rondelle shaped black and white striped resin beads, black and white African batik horn beads and turquoise howlite gemstones. The three striped focal beads were upcycled from a vintage necklace and mimic African batik beads. Created from man made resin, they are in excellent shape and show very little wear and sport a high gloss finish.  To perfectly highlight the vintage resin beads, six fair trade batik bone beads were used, each individually handmade by members of an African artists co-op in Ghana. They are black with white accents and hints of dark brown. The batik beads are a unique shape: roundish but with three large “facets” cut on each end adding wonderful eye interest and texture. Beautiful turquoise howlite gemstone rounds separated the vintage beads and batik beads. Howlite is naturally and off white stone with gray to black matix. Since howlite takes a dye easily, it can be found in a wide variety of colors, such as these soft turquoise colored beauties. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TRIBAL ADVENTURE necklace is perfect jewelry for the woman who adores ethnic inspired jewelry and loves to wear one of a kind designs.

Three vintage resin black and white striped rondelles beads are beautiful focals for the necklace.

Here is the important information for the TRIBAL ADVENTURE tribal inspired necklace:

• Vintage resin black ad white beads:  app. 30 mm x 18 mm
• Black and white batik bone beads:  app. 18 mm x 16 mm
• Turquoise howlite rounds:  app. 10 mm
• Metal:  copper
• Clasp:  patterned copper toggle clasp set
• Length:  app. 19” /  48.3 cm
