The fun "Macchie" handmade earrings feature artisan dotted lampwork glass beads, rustic matte purple Czech beads, pewter bead caps and sterling silver - jewelry gift for women.
Full of vibrant, fun-filled color, the MACCHIE handmade earrings are perfect jewelry accessories to wear with almost anything in your wardrobe, from dress up to dress down. The one of a kind earrings are on the smaller side and feature artisan made dotted lampwork glass beads, dark purple Czech glass beads, pewter bead caps and sterling silver. The lampwork beads started out as opaque white glass. While still in the molten stage, multi-colored frit was added causing vivid dots to form randomly across the white glass. As you can see the colors of the spots are primarily various shades of aqua blues, turquoise, lime green, purple, orange, red and pink. Since the dots form randomly, you can see that the lampwork beads are similar but are also different, each a unique work of art. The photos show many different angles of the earrings so you can get a good idea of the array of spots. To add an old silver gleam, pewter bead caps with a leaf design hug the top and bottom of the lampwork beads. To perfectly complement the lampwork glass beads, and to highlight the lavender and purple dots, rustic translucent Czech glass druk beads were used. These beads are a deep purple glass with a purple wash to add richness. The beads have an etched matte finish and are rustically not “perfect.” When the earrings are worn and backlit, the purple druk beads positively glow. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MACCHIE lampwork glass earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who adores, fun, artisan handmade jewelry. “Macchie” is Italian for “spots.”
The lampwork glass beads were artisan handmade and are filled with vibrant, multi-colored dots.
