Cactus Earrings, Red Flowers Coral Copper Handmade Jewelry Gift Women

The "Flowering Cactus" earrings were created with artisan handmade cactus on copper charms and red coral frangia - unique jewelry for women.

Since succulents and cactus are all the rage these days, you will show your extreme fashion sense each time you wear the fun FLOWERING CACTUS earrings. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan made, blooming cactus on copper dangles and spiky red coral frangia. The unique square-shaped cactus charms look as if they were cut from old, weathered cookie or tea tins. But they only mimic rustic vintage tins since they were individually artisan hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper with a permanent metal transfer cactus design.  There is a mix of cacti against a white background, but most can be identified as opuntias (or prickly pears). What catches the eye are the rich red flowers blooming on several of the cacti. Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  To represent the thorns on many cacti and to highlight the red flowers of the dangles, spiky red coral frangia was stacked above the cactus charms. Five pieces were used, each different from the other to add a “thorny” look. The color of the coral is not bright red but more mellow like they have been somewhat bleached for years in the sun that cactus love. A copper 3 mm bead caps the top and bottom of the coral frangia. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FLOWERING CACTUS earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves cactus, the Desert Southwest and unique artisan created jewelry.

The unique red flowered cactus charms were individually artisan created to look like vintage cookie or tea tin charms.
