Pink Roses Earrings, Flowers Lampwork Lightweight Handmade Jewelry


pink roses polymer clay jewelry lightweight flower earrings

The feminine PINK ROSES handmade earrings feature artisan polymer clay pink roses dangles, artisan pink lampwork glass beads and Czech glass beads - unique jewelry gift for women.


Beautifully feminine and very light weight to wear, the PINK ROSES handmade earrings are fun and flirty and, when worn, will make any day more joyous. A fabulous gift for the woman who loves roses, the one of a kind flower earrings feature artisan made polymer clay pink roses dangles, artisan frosted pink lampwork beads and faceted pink Czech glass rondelles. The exquisite teardrop-shaped flower dangles were individually handmade.  A pink rose permanent transfer was added to white polymer clay, the pink roses and green leaves highlighted wonderfully against the white background. Two pink roses in full boom and several partly opened buds are seen along with green leaves. A shiny, protective resin coating was added to the front of the dangles for years of wearing pleasure. The back of the earrings have a matte pink polymer clay finish. To perfectly complement the rose dangles, artisan lampwork glass beads and faceted Czech rondelles were used. The lampwork glass beads were artisan handmade from translucent pale pink glass with a frosted, sea glass look. When worn, the lampwork beads absolutely glow in the light! To add even more pink goodness, a translucent Czech rondelle created from strawberry pink glass and milky opal glass was added above each lampwork bead, separated by a triangle-shaped, sterling silver spacer bead. Since the rondelles are crisply faceted, they add sparkle to the design. Sterling silver French hook earwires with pink Czech glass rondelle accents finish the lovely earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the feminine, one of a kind PINK ROSES earrings will make a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves both roses and unique artisan designed jewelry!

Lotus Bud Necklace, Vintage Thai Silver Pearls Garnet Handmade Jewelry


lotus bud handmade necklace keshi pearls red garnet

The LOTUS BUD handmade necklace features a vintage Thai silver lotus bud amulet, peacock Keshi pearls and red garnet - unique yoga jewelry for women.


Filled with a hefty dose of sublime beauty, the LOTUS BUD handmade necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who practices yoga, meditates or just loves one of a kind jewelry. The meaningful necklace features a vintage Thai silver lotus bud pendant along with rainbow Keshi pearls, red garnet and sterling silver. The beautiful vintage amulet pendant, which is at least 40 years old, was crafted from fine silver by an artisan in Thailand. The raised design is of a lotus bud in an urn along with draping leaves, probably banana leaves. A rope design runs along the edge of the pendant. In Thailand, the lotus is a sacred flower and is a symbol of purity, faithfulness and spiritual awakening.  To perfectly complement the pendant, exquisite Keshi pearls and red garnet were used. Keshi pearls are natural, non-nucleated pearls and are normally found with an irregular shape. The Keshi pearls used in the necklace are absolutely stunning with their glowing peacock coloration of mainly shades of purples, greens, burgundy, and bronzes, often shifting color as the angle of the light changes. Except for the very beginning of the necklace on either side of the lotus bud amulet, the pearls are in groups of three. Between each Keshi pearl grouping is a group of natural garnet heishe in a rich dark red color. The heishe is hand cut so each piece is similar in size but not exactly the same. Small sterling silver beads separate the pearls from the garnet, adding bits of silver sheen to the necklace design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind LOTUS BUD necklace was created for the woman who loves meaningful, artisan designed jewelry.

Pink Rhodochrosite Earrings, Gray Pearl Handmade Gemstone Jewelry Gift


teardrop earrings rhodochrosite pearls pink grey gray

The gorgeous INCAN ROSE handmade earrings feature natural rhodochrosite gemstones, peacock pearls and sterling silver - fab wonderful gift for the woman who loves pink gemstone earrings!


The exquisitely beautiful INCAN ROSE handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who has a love for unique, natural pink gemstones! Pink rhodochrosite are the gorgeous focal of the earrings with glowing gray peacock pearls used as highlights. Found in the Andes in Peru (and a few other places in the world), rhodochrosite is a fairly rare gemstone that was sacred to the Incas. They believed that rhodochrosite is the blood of former rulers that was turned to stone. Because of that, the gemstones is sometimes called "Rosa del Inca" or "Incan Rose." As you can see in the photos, the highly polished rhodochrosite teardrops are mainly a lovely medium pink. Eye-catching natural gray and white banding run through the teardrops, a bit different on each side, causing a landscape pattern effect. The top and bottom of each teardrop is capped with small sterling silver daisy spacers.  To perfectly complement the colors of the rhodochrosite, two gray button pearls (flat on one side) were stacked above the teardrops. The pearls have a glorious, color-shifting peacock effect depending on the angle of the light. A single sterling silver bead caps the top of the pearl stack.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique INCAN ROSE gemstone earrings were created for the woman who loves one of a kind artisan jewelry with a fascinating story.

The stunning pink rhodochrosite teardrops have natural gray and white lines running through it, creating a landscape look.

  • Rhodochrosite gemstone teardrops:  app. 18 mm x 12 mm at widest x 5 mm (0,71” x 0.47”)

Woof Dog Lover Earrings, Copper Aqua Opal Pink Handmade Jewelry Gift


unique dog earrings copper woof czech glass

The WOOF! handmade earrings feature artisan copper woof dangles and two colors and shapes of Czech glass beads - unique dog rescue jewelry for women.

The meaningful WOOF! handmade earrings are perfect for anybody who adores their dog, especially if their sweetie is a rescue. One of a kind earrings, they feature artisan made copper dangles and two luscious colors of faceted Czech glass. The highlight of the dog rescue earrings are the oh-so-fun copper woof rectangle charms. The charms were individually artisan handmade from beginning to end from copper precious metal clay. Each slightly curved dangle was imprinted with a single word, “woof,” that is recessed from the background. To add an antiqued look, the dangles were heated with a butane torch to bring out the rich patina of the copper. The back of each dangle is slightly textured.  To add exquisite beauty and wonderful to the earrings design, two luxurious colors and shapes of Czech glass beads were stacked above the woof dangles. The larger rondelle-shaped bead was made from shimmering aqua opal glass that positively glows in the light. An earthy brownish tan Picasso finish coats both ends of the beads for a somewhat rustic look. Above the aqua opal bead, separated by a copper disc spacer, is a translucent Czech glass bead in a juicy color called opal pink rosewood.  Since both Czech glass beads are faceted, they provide wonderful sparkle to the earrings.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the WOOF! Earrings are a perfect gift for the special woman who loves one of a kind, artisan jewelry designs and adores dogs.

*** Please note: when sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the WOOF! earrings will be donated to an animal rescue organization to help care for the beautiful four footed souls waiting for their furever home.
