The colorful IRISES handmade art earrings are inspired by the famous 1889 painting of the same name by Vincent van Gogh. The one of a kind earrings were created with rectangle-shaped polymer clay art dangles, glowing premium Czech glass roller beads, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The unique dangles are individually artisan crafted from high quality black polymer clay with a permanent van Gogh art transfer of a cropped version of his painting, “Irises.” The beautiful painting (one half on one earring, the other half on the other) depicts a bed of blue irises with one white flower against red ground in the front and a yellow and green background. For durability and shine, the dangles were given several coats of varnish. A black border on the polymer clay rectangle dangles defines the beautiful floral scene. The backside of the dangles are black and inscribed with the artist’s mark. Since the dangles are made from polymer clay, the earrings are very lightweight to wear. Please note: in the original painting, the white iris is on the left hand side. To perfectly highlight the beautiful blues of the irises, premium quality Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals were used. Two roller beads are stacked on each other above the iris dangles. The faceted beads are a luscious translucent aqua blue color with a center of metallic copper which shows through as a light terracotta. When held up to the light, the beads positively glow, and since they are faceted, they add subtle sparkle. To add even more sparkle, a faceted 6 mm Swarovski crystal was nestled into each roller bead. The color is called “light sapphire,” a blue that mimics lighter sapphire precious gemstones. Sterling silver French hook earwires with a 4 mm light sapphire Swarovski on each finishes the earrings beautifully. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the IRISES earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear unique art jewelry based on the paintings of famous artists.
