Silver Mist Leaf Jasper Gemstone Necklace And Earrings, Light Moss Olive Green And Tan Necklace

THE SINGING BEADER

In the necklace and earrings, the silver mist, also known as silver leaf jasper gemstones, are a light moss or olive green color with a matrix of tan colors. The faceted gemstones are beaded both horizontally and vertically giving the necklace a unique, asymmetrical look.

Between each of the silver mist jasper gemstones are two sizes of Swarovski crystals in gorgeous shades of light smoked topaz and luminous green. Both the crystals are bicone-shaped and have a Xilion finish. Xilion means they are cut with an increased number of facets that reflect more light. This effect makes them dazzle, especially in the sunlight. As you can see in the close-up photos, both of the crystal's colors complement the gemstones nicely.

Professional touches to the handmade necklace include 49 strands beading wire that is doubled crimped for durability, and silver-filled wire guardians added to prevent wire abrasion from the clasp attachment.

The necklace length is 21” with an additional 2” sterling silver extension chain. A 7 mm sterling silver spring-style clasp fastens the necklace.

The earrings measure 1 3/4” long. They consist of one gemstone, one light smoked topaz crystal, and three luminous green crystals. The earring eye pins and ear wires are sterling silver.

See all 10 photos including those that show size details.

Silver mist gemstone sizes approximately: 10 mm x 13 mm

Light smoked topaz bicone Swarovski crystals: 4 mm

Luminous green bicone Swarovski crystals: 3 mm

An organza pouch is included. Use it for gift-giving or to store the jewelry.

Packaged carefully for shipping with bubble wrap materials.

Shipped USPS First Class, insurance coverage included.

I loved making this jewelry and I hope you will enjoy wearing it or giving it as a gift for someone special. - The Singing Beader.

Sugar Skulls Earrings, Day of the Dead Halloween Enamel Pearls Jewelry

handmade halloween day of the dead sugar skulls earrings

The "Calaveras de Colores" handmade earrings feature artisan enamel sugar skull dangles, teal freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals - Day of the Dead jewelry for women.

Since the CALAVERAS DE COLORES sugar skull earrings are so colorful, you just have to smile every time you look at them! Perfect jewelry for Day of the Dead or Halloween, the one of a kind earrings feature individually artisan handmade enamel sugar skull charms with teal pearls and pink Swarovski crystals. The unique cut out Dia de los Muertos skull dangles started out as copper blanks. Shiny white enamel glass powder was fused onto the front with a butane torch. A stencil and more enamel glass powder was used to form the colorful design. As you can see the colors are gorgeous: teal green around the eyes, pink flowers on the forehead, under the eyes and on the chin and a yellow starburst just above each eye. The upper lip of the skulls has seven vertical lines. Because the sugar skulls were individually hand enameled, they are very similar but not exactly the same, as the photos will show. The back of the charms are finished in black enamel. Despite the larger size of these earrings, the unique flower earrings are lightweight to wear. Because the sugar skull charms are the main focal of the earrings, simple embellishments were used. Just above each skull is a rich, glowing teal green freshwater potato pearl (“potato” meaning they aren’t perfectly round) capped by copper disc spacers. Depending on the angle of the light, the color of the pearls will shift to a more blue teal. To add sparkle, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a color called “light rose” pink tops the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CALAVERAS DE COLORES lightweight dangle earrings are perfect jewelry accessories to add to your Halloween and Day of the Dead costume and festivities. AND they are GREAT for year round wear! “Calaveras de colores” is Spanish for “colorful skulls.”

Pink Opal Sugar Skull Earrings, Day of the Dead Halloween Handmade Jewelry

pink opal and crystal sugar skull earrings halloween day of the dead

The glowing "Pink Sugar Skulls" handmade earrings feature Czech glass pink opal sugar skulls, Czech crystals and Swarovski crystals - Day of the Dead / Halloween jewelry for women.

Perfect for Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) parties, Halloween wear - or for any time of the year you feel the need to wear skull jewelry, the handmade PINK SUGAR SKULLS earrings are very trendy and full of marvelous spooky fun! The glowing earrings feature two-sided Czech glass beads, Czech crystals and Swarovski crystals. The unique skull beads were created with a base of translucent pink opal glass that is positively radiant in the light. A delightful sugar skull design was impressed on both sides of the beads. For an aged, folk art look, a metallic copper Picasso finish was added to highlight the incredible details of the floral eyes, an inverted heart shaped nose, the grinning mouth and any other recessed areas of the skull beads. Since the sugar skull earrings are two sided, they look beautiful from any angle when worn. All sugar skulls need a bit of sparkle so two types of crystals were used: clear Czech crystals and dark rose pink Swarovski crystals. Found just above the sugar skulls are glittering clear Czech crystals set in copper rondelles. The seven clear crystals might be on the smaller side, but do they ever sparkle at each movement of the earrings! To add even more sparkle and a touch of lovely color to complement the pink opal glass of the skulls, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a rich “dark rose” pink color is snugged into the top of each rondelle. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the earrings. The PINK SUGAR SKULLS earrings were carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for the woman who wants to add ghoulishly fun jewelry to her unique Dia de los Muertos or Halloween skull collection.

The Czech glass beads were created from pink opal glass with a sugar skull design and a metallic copper Picasso finish to bring out the details.

Here's the important information for the PINK SUGAR SKULLS earrings:

Pink opal Czech glass sugar skulls: app. 20 mm x 17 mm x 5 mm (0.78” x 0.67”); metallic copper Picasso finish
Clear Czech crystal rondelles: app. 7 mm x 3 mm
Swarovski crystals: faceted 6 mm “dark rose” pink bicones
Metal: copper and sterling silver
Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accents
Length: app. 1.75” / 4.5 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Pink White Rose Earrings Flowers Enamel Lampwork Handmade Jewelry Gift

pink and white flower floral earrings with lampwork

The beautiful "Wild Roses" handmade earrings were created from artisan pink roses enameled dangles, artisan raspberry red lampwork glass beads and two kinds of Czech glass beads - unique flower jewelry for women.

If you love roses, especially the ones more on the “wild” side, you’ll love these one of a kind WILD ROSES flower earrings! The one of a kind jewelry beauties feature artisan hand enameled pink rose blossom dangles, raspberry red lampwork glass beads and two types of Czech glass beads. The eye catching copper flower dangles were individually made from hand cut and filed copper rectangles. The shiny white enamel background on each rectangle was created with glass powder that was fused onto the copper with a very hot torch. A permanent pink wild rose decal with a single leaf was applied while the glass was still molten. The pink roses have five petals, a yellow center with black accents. A single green leaf protrudes below each blossom. To add even more eye appeal, the rose decals are a mirror image of each other. The design has a mellow, vintage look to it. The back of each flower dangle is also enameled with speckled dark blue glass for strength and durability. To perfectly complement the wild rose charms, a borosilicate lampwork glass bead and two different Czech glass beads are stacked above. Artisan handmade, the lampwork glass beads are a rich raspberry red, that, as you can see in the photos, absolutely glow. The lampwork beauties have a slightly milky band around the middle. Stacked just above each lampwork bead, separated by a copper daisy spacer, is a pale pink Czech glass disc bead with a slight metallic Picasso finish for extra shimmer. On top of each disc, again separated by a copper daisy spacer, is a small faceted cashmere opal Czech bead. The bead was created with opalescent glass and, since it is faceted, it provides subtle sparkle to the earrings design. Sterling silver French hooks with copper bicone accents finishes the beautiful floral earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind WILD ROSES earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves flowers, especially wild roses.

***Please note: Even though the wild rose charms are durable, they are glass fused to copper. If they are dropped on a hard surface, they can chip.

Leaf Earrings, Boho Orange Red Purple Gold Lampwork Handmade Jewelry

The fiery "Autumn Flames" handmade boho earrings feature artisan polymer clay leaves, artisan lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals - gorgeous leaf jewelry for women.

Gorgeous in all their intense fall colors, the AUTUMN FLAMES one of a kind earrings imparts a colorful boho style. The beautiful jewelry was handmade with artisan leaves, artisan lampwork glass beads, copper and sterling silver. The eye-catching leaves were individually handmade from polymer clay, an artist's clay that is light in weight but very durable. The leaves have amazing ruffled detail and are narrower at the tops and wider at the somewhat wavy bottoms. Handpainted, the leaves are a fiery blend of orange, red and purple with metallic gold trim at the bottom and two curving lines of turquoise running from top to bottom. The back side of the leaves are painted with a metallic lavender purple color with subtle sparkles. To perfectly complement the colors of the leaves, lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals were stacked above. The lampwork beads were individually created from red glass with a dark blue/purple band around the middle. The finish is very high gloss so the beads have a wonderful shine. Separated by two flower shaped copper spacers, a sparkling dark purple faceted Swarovski crystal bicone sits on top of each lampwork bead. The color, called “purple velvet,” is a rich, regal shade of dark translucent purple. A small copper bead caps the Swarovski crystals. To add even more sparkle, a small purple velvet crystal was added to each sterling silver French hook earwire for a lovely finish to the design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the AUTUMN FLAMES earrings were created for the woman who loves a colorful boho look in lightweight to wear jewelry.
