The rustic "Delos" handmade earrings feature copper over pewter tribal geometric donut discs, old turquoise heishe and ruby red Czech glass - tribal jewelry for women.
Looking as if they might have been excavated at an archaeological site on the Greek island of Delos, the well-named DELOS handmade earrings have a definite rustic, boho vibe. The unique earrings were created with two sided Mykonos donut discs, old genuine turquoise heishe (heishi), ruby red Czech glass and copper. The dark copper over pewter donut discs were made by artisans on the Greek island of Mykonos and feature engraved geometric tribal patterns on both sides. To bring out the detailing of the pattern, a turquoise green verdigris was applied and then polished off, leaving the patina in the recessed areas. A bit of shiny copper shows through the patina for extra eye appeal. Three pieces of old, hand cut turquoise heishe were stacked above the discs, separated by copper disc spacers. The turquoise is very rustic as old hand cut turquoise heishe normally is. To add an unexpected pop of color, ruby red Czech glass rondelles with a glowing lavender/ turquoise Picasso finish, sit on top of the turquoise. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique DELOS earrings will make a wonderful gift for the woman who loves an ancient, rustic look to her artisan made jewelry.
The unique Mykonos donut discs are copper over pewter with an engraved tribal design with a turquoise blue green verdigris.
