Sea Turtle Earrings, Green Tan Terra Cotta Handmade Artisan Jewelry

The "Las Tortugas" dangle earrings feature artisan handmade turtle charms, faceted Czech glass beads and peridot green Swarovski crystals - one of a kind jewelry for women.

Perfect one of a kind jewelry for the woman who loves sea turtles, the LAS TORTUGAS handmade earrings are ocean inspired beauties. Created with artisan made pale minty green and tan sea turtle dangles, the earrings also feature faceted creamy brown Czech glass beads and peridot green Swarovski crystals. The fabulous turtle charms were individually artisan handmade from terra cotta ceramic with a raised sea turtle design against a flat background giving great texture to the dangles. A soft minty green glaze was used for a rustic distressed look - when fired, the glaze settled into recessed areas, leaving some of the raised terra cotta ceramic to peek through.  To highlight the terra cotta areas of the dangles, creamy brown Czech glass rondelles were placed above the turtles. The beads are faceted for subtle sparkle and have a darker brown Picasso finish on the top and bottom for an aged look. A mega-sparkling faceted peridot green Swarovski crystal bicone tops each glass bead.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the LAS TORTUGAS earrings are a great gift for the woman who adores sea turtles and loves to wear one of a kind, artisan jewelry. “Las Tortugas” is Spanish for “the turtles.”

The unique turtle charms were individually artisan handmade from terra cotta and given a rustic soft minty green glaze that left some of the terra cotta exposed.
