Southwest Lampwork Earrings, Coral Red Turquoise Ivory Handmade Jewelry

The beautiful "Southwest Days" earrings were created with colorful artisan handmade lampwork glass beads, coral Czech glass discs and sterling silver - unique jewelry for women.

The SOUTHWEST DAYS handmade earrings are definitely eye-catching with their rich colors so indicative of the canyons, mountains and the immense blue sky of the Desert Southwest. Unique jewelry that definitely screams the casual elegance of the Southwest - and also perfect for 4th of July wear - the earrings feature artisan handmade lampwork glass beads, coral Czech glass discs and sterling silver. The vibrantly colored lampwork beads were individually artisan created from turquoise blue, ivory and coral red glass. After the beads were kiln fired at high heat for strength, they were given an acid bath to etch the glass into a velvety, matte finish. The matte finish brings out the intricate, organic details of the beads - just look at the photos above to enjoy their lovely uniqueness. Because the beads were individually handmade, they are similar but not exactly the same, each bead an original work of art.  To perfectly complement the Southwest inspired lampwork beads, deep coral colored Czech glass disc beads cap the top and bottom of each, separated by small sterling silver daisy spacers. The coral discs have a permanent silver wash which adds a wonderful metallic glow to the design.  The SOUTHWEST DAYS lampwork earrings were carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for the woman who adores wearing one of a kind, Desert Southwest inspired jewelry.

The lampwork glass beads were individually handmade from turquoise blue, coral red and ivory glass.
