Sea Turtle Beach Earrings, Enamel Lampwork Swarovski Handmade Jewelry

The "Tortugas" handmade earrings feature artisan enamel sea turtle charms, artisan lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals - unique turtle jewelry for women.

Wonderful handmade jewelry for the woman who loves sea turtles, the one of a kind TORTUGAS earrings are perfect for that beach getaway . . . or to wear at home. The unique earrings are created with artisan enamel turtle charms, artisan aqua blue lampwork beads, Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver. The eye catching sea turtle dangles were individually made from artisan shiny white enamel copper squares.  Permanent decals with sea turtle designs were applied while the glass was still molten. The whimsical sea turtles have a hand painted watercolor look to them. One looks as if it's coming to the surface of the ocean and one looks as if it’s diving deeper. As you can see in the photos, the details of the turtles are exquisite and are perfectly highlighted against a pale blue and white “bubble” background. The back of each dangle is finished with speckled dark blue enameled glass for strength and durability.  To perfectly complement ocean colors of the sea turtle charms, speckled aqua lampwork glass beads and faceted Swarovski crystal bicones were stacked above, colors that represent the oceans.  The lampwork beads, each individually artisan made, were created from white glass with a added to give a speckled effect, mainly aqua blue but there are also bits of purple and pale green. A copper flower spacer caps the top and bottom of each lampwork bead. Above each lampwork bead sits a sparkling Swarovski crystal in a rich tourmaline blue color called “indicolite.” Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TORTUGAS handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves turtles, loves the beach and loves wearing artisan handmade jewelry. “Tortugas” is Spanish for “turtles.”

The exquisite enamel turtle dangles were individually artisan handmade
