Mermaid Art Earrings, Faux Vintage Green Brown Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "A Mermaid" handmade art earrings feature artisan mermaid dangles, Czech glass and Swarovski crystals - lovely mermaid jewelry for women.

A MERMAID handmade art earrings are perfect for the woman who has a bit of mermaid in her and who also loves famous works of art. Beautifully unique art jewelry, the one of a kind earrings feature artisan created faux vintage copper dangles, swirled green Czech glass beads and sparkling brown Swarovski crystals. The eye catching mermaid  charms were individually hand cut into a trapezoid shape from copper sheeting, filed and sanded. A permanent metal transfer was applied for the faux tin look and then the charms were waterproof sealed for many years of wearing fun. The back of the dangles are shiny copper. Since the dangles were individually artisan made, they are very similar but not exactly the same.  To perfectly complement the mermaids, Czech glass beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals were used. The Czech glass beads were made from opaque medium pine green glass that shades to light apple green with a rustic silky matte finish. To add even more eye appeal, a gold Picasso finish was washed onto about ⅓ of the surface of the beads, adding a wonderful glow. To add mega sparkle, a faceted "smoky topaz" brown Swarovski crystal bicone was placed above each Czech bead.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, unique A MERMAID earrings are a great gift, sure to please the woman who loves great works of art and mermaids!

The mermaid dangles were inspired by the famous John William Waterhouse masterpiece, "A Mermaid," which was painted in 1900. The dangles are a cropped version of a mermaid perched on a rock with her tail coiled around her, combing out her long red hair while singing a song. In front of her is a large shell filled with pearls (legend says the pearls are formed by the tears of dead sailors). She is highlighted by the aqua green sea and rocky arches behind her. In the original painting, she is painted looking to the left. For more information about the original painting, here’s a link: A Mermaid.

The art dangles are based on a famous John William Waterhouse painting called "A Mermaid."
