Soul of the Rose Art Earrings, Waterhouse Ceramic Handmade Jewelry

The "Soul of the Rose" handmade earrings feature artisan handmade ceramic drops inspired by a famous painting, Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals - unique are jewelry for women.


What a look of ecstasy the lady has on her face as she breathes in deeply the scent of a rose. The exquisite art earrings feature romantic ceramic drops based on John William Waterhouse’s famous painting, THE SOUL OF THE ROSE (sometimes also called “My Sweet Rose”), pink glass roller beads with copper cores and Swarovski crystals. The rustic teardrops were individually artisan hand formed from earthstone ceramic and kiln fired with a high gloss glaze. Then a permanent ceramic decal with the woman and rose was applied and the drops were fired again with bronze luster. What rich detailing there is on the drops: an elegantly dressed woman with glowing red hair and rosy cheeks has pulled a pink rose to her face and deeply inhales the heady fragrance. The dangles are mirror images but the original painting has the woman facing left. The back of the dangles are finished with a rustic, shiny golden bronze glaze. Since the teardrops are made from ceramic, they are very lightweight to wear. For more information about John William Waterhouse’s “Soul of the Rose painting, follow this link: THE SOUL OF THE ROSE.

To perfectly complement the color of roses and the woman’s skin tones, gorgeous Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals were used. The faceted beads have a copper metallic center which shows through the various shades of pink and clear glass. Two roller beads were stacked on each other. Since the beads are faceted they add sparkle to the design, along with the metallic copper glow. To add even more sparkle, a faceted Swarovski was nestled into the top roller bead. The color is called ‘vintage rose,” a wonderful choice. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents are a lovely finish to the design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, THE SOUL OF THE ROSE earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who adores art jewelry, especially if she is a fan of the captivating paintings of John William Waterhouse.

    1. Thank you so much, Jacki. They are a definite favorite of mine - almost tempted to keep them. My husband is distantly related to the painter, so maybe that's a reason why I love them so much (:

    1. Thanks, Mary! Was a fan of Waterhouse's painting even before I knew DH was related. He paints women so beautifully. Love the Arthurian legends and Greek mythology themes of so many of his paintings. Treats to Sweet Kitty from Mr. Tired Moose.

  3. Beautifully artistic earrings. The Czech glass picks up the subtle pinks in the ceramic portrait dangles.

  4. Beautiful ceramic "The Sole Of The Rose" earrings. The crystals you chose really go well with the colors of the rose, and the woman's hair and face.
