Red Black Chunky Necklace, Magnesite Onyx Handmade Statement Jewelry

The RED HOT handmade necklace features chunky red magnesite rounds and black onyx discs - unique artisan jewelry for women.

Big and bold and oh, so beautiful, the RED HOT handmade necklace surely will make a statement each and every time it is worn. Jewelry for the woman who loves to wear one of a kind designs and loves the color combination of red and black, the necklace features large red magnesite rounds, black onyx discs and sterling silver. The large rounds are magnesite, a gemstone that is naturally an off white color with brown veins. Since it takes a dye easily, you often can find it in various colors, including red. Eleven permanently dyed red magnesite rounds make up the front of the necklace. The color is a rich, eye-catching red, each stone with darker veining, some with more, some less. The finish of the gemstones is glossy, oftentimes reflecting the light.  So that the unique necklace drapes gracefully, a single, high shine black onyx disc is found between each red magnesite round. A 3 mm sterling silver bead is found on each side of the discs. Three groups of five black onyx discs finish the back of the necklace, each group separated by a sterling bead. To securely clasp the necklace, a lovely sterling silver hook clasp set with hammered texture was used. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the RED HOT necklace was created for the woman who loves to wear bold artisan statement jewelry.

Large red magnesite gemstone rounds add an eye-catching pop of color to the necklace design.

Here's the important information for the RED HOT necklace:

• Red magnesite rounds: app. 22 mm (0.87”); permanently dyed
• Black onyx discs: app. 7 mm x 4 mm (0.28” x 0.16”)
• Metal: sterling silver
• Clasp: textured hook clasp set
• Length: app. 19.5” / 49.5 cm although, due to the size of the red magnesite rounds, the length will wear more like an 18.5” / 47 cm necklace

Quatrefoil Key Earrings Silver Pewter With Clear AB Crystals

 Quatrefoil Key Earrings With Swarovski Crystals

THE SINGING BEADER

These key earrings feature TierraCast silver plated pewter key charms with a quatrefoil four lobe design. Quatrefoil four lobe is an ornamental design of four lobes or leaves that resemble a flower or four-leaf clover. The design is usually found in art or architecture that was popular in Gothic and Renaissance eras. The key charms are double-sided, the same on both sides. See the length of earrings below.

For a unique, one of a kind pair of key earrings, I added dressy, sparkling Swarovski AB (Aurora Borealis) clear bicone crystals. Aurora borealis creates a beautiful iridescent sheen. The finish is meant to pick up and reflect the colors around it. The crystals are hugged in silver-plated pewter etched rondells. See the close up photo of these magnificent crystals and rondells. The secure holding lever-back ear wires and jump ring attachments are .925 sterling silver.

See all 10 photos including those showing the size details.

The earrings dangle: 2 3/4” (approx.)

The keys alone measure 32 mm x 12 mm (1 1/4” x 1/2” approx.)

Swarovski crystals: 6 mm

Silver-plated pewter rondells: 4 mm x 2 mm

A beautiful gift for one who likes Gothic or Renaissance era designs.

A lovely organza gift pouch is included.

Boho Birds Earrings, Colorful Enamel Peridot Crystals Handmade Jewelry

The fun "Sweet Tweets" boho earrings feature colorful enamel birds on a wire dangles with sterling chain and Swarovski crystals - unique bird jewelry for women.

Jewelry filled with vivid boho vibes, the colorful SWEET TWEETS handmade earrings will positively cheer you up every time you put the beauties on! Perfect for a woman who loves birds / is a birder, the lightweight, one of a kind earrings feature artisan made enameled charms, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The colorful bird charms were individually handmade, starting out as copper blanks in a half moon shape. White enamel glass powder was fused onto the blanks using a high temperature butane torch. Looking like dabs of watercolor, more glass powder was fused to the white background: red, orange, yellow, light green, blue and violet. Then, using a pattern, four black bird silhouettes sitting on a wire were added. Two birds are sitting and two are standing on the wire. As you can see in the photos, the bird design is a mirror image. The backside of each bird charm was fused with black glass powders for a professional finish. To give the colorful bird earrings great movement and sparkle at each turn of the head, thirteen links of a patterned sterling silver chain were used on each charm, connected to them with two sterling silver jump rings on each end for durability. Wire wrapped to the middle link of each chain is a mega-glitter faceted Swarovski crystal bicone. The color is called “peridot,” a soft, peaceful light green color, a perfect complement to the colors on the charms. A pair of sterling silver French hook earwires with an additional peridot green crystal on each adds even more glitter, finishing the unique earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind SWEET TWEETS earrings were created for the woman who adores colorful artisan boho jewelry and loves our fine feathered bird friends.

The bird charms were individually artisan hand, fused enamel glass powder on a copper half moon blank.

Here's the important information for the SWEET TWEETS handmade bird earrings:

• Enamel bird charms: app. 35 mm x 16 mm at widest (1.4” x 0.63”); artisan handmade by Pearly Karpel
• Swarovski crystals: faceted 4 mm peridot green bicones
• Chain: patterned sterling silver
• Metal: copper (half moon blanks) and sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with peridot Swarovski crystal accents
• Length: app. 2” / 5.1 cm measured from the top curve of the sterling earwires

Roses in the Desert - Julia's Beauties!

 

Julia, a good friend, doesn't live too far from our house.  She grows some of the most beautiful roses, not something I originally thought would do well here in the Desert Southwest.  But they thrive and aren't subject to many of the diseases as in more humid areas (no nasty chemicals used on them!).  Before the pandemic, Seamus and I would visit her at least once a week, usually on a Saturday afternoon for 2 hours or so.  Once the pandemic hit, we still visited, socially distanced outside, through heat and cold.  Seamus adores his Aunt Julia.  She spoils him by feeding him many of his favorite organic bison and apple jerky treats and loves on him throughout the stay.  

I'm not sure how many years I've been doing a "Julia's Roses" blog - at least 3 or 4 now.  This is the newest addition  - a few weeks late but it's done.  So, if you love roses, I'd appreciate if you take a look, and, if you are so inclined, leave a comment on the blog itself.   Social media links are below the red rose.  Here's the link to the blog:

Lotus Flower Earrings, Mint Green Sea Glass Handmade Yoga Jewelry Gift

The "Noble Lotus" handmade earrings feature sea glass look minty green lotus blossom beads and peridot green Swarovski crystals - unique yoga jewelry for women.

These beautiful NOBLE LOTUS flower earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the spiritual woman who practices yoga and / or meditates. Lotus blossoms symbolize enlightenment, purity and rebirth in many cultures and religions, so these one of a kind beauties will be ones she’ll reach for time and time again. Czech glass lotus beads are featured in the handmade earrings and are combined with glittering Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver. A lovely multi-petal lotus flower design was impressed into minty green and clear glass coin beads. The translucent glass was given a matte finish for a glowing sea glass look. To bring out the beautiful details of the lotus blossom and the rustic small pits and “cracks,” a metallic bronze Picasso finish was applied which settled into the recessed areas.  Since the lotus coin beads are two sided, the yoga earrings look fabulous from any angle.  To add an even more beauty to the elegant earring design, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was added to the top of each lotus bead, separated by a small copper disc spacer. The color of the crystals is called “peridot,” a peaceful shade of green evoking the spirit of nature.  All of the components used to make the earrings were strung on handmade (by me) copper headpins with a hand hammered loop at the bottom.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the NOBLE LOTUS blossom will be a much loved gift for the woman who meditates, practices yoga and just loves to wear meaningful, one of a kind jewelry designs!

The lotus blossom coin beads were created in the Czech Republic from minty green and clear glass with a matte sea glass finish and an impressed lotus flower on each side.

Here's the important information for the NOBLE LOTUS yoga earrings:

• Mint green Czech glass lotus blossom coin beads: app. 18 mm x 4 mm (0.71”); metallic bronze Picasso finish
• Swarovski crystals: faceted 6 mm peridot bicones
• Metal: copper and sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accents
• Length: app. 2” / 5.1 cm measured from the top curve of the sterling earwires
