The "Bastet" handmade earrings were created from orange opal Czech glass beads with a cat hieroglyph on each side and turquoise tri-cut Czech glass beads - jewelry for the cat lover.
Named after the ancient Egyptian cat goddess, the BASTET handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves the beauty and grace of the lovely felines. The one of a kind earrings feature glowing orange Czech glass cat beads, turquoise Czech glass tri-cut beads, copper and sterling silver earwires. The unique oval cat beads are a rich orange opal color that are translucent and absolutely glow in the light. Each side has a pressed, recessed hieroglyph image of a seated, wise looking cat. To bring out the incredible details of the cats and to add an aged look, a bronze Picasso finish was added to the beads. The bronze wash settled into the recessed areas highlighting the hieroglyphs. Lightweight to wear, the earrings look perfect from every angle since the beads are two-sided. To complement the orange opal glass, a turquoise tricut Czech glass beads was added to the top and bottom of the cat beads. The The tri-cut beds are round but have three facets (hence “tri-cut”) to add subtle sparkle. The turquoise beads also have a Picasso finish, a rich earthy brown, scattered here and there on the beads. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BASTET hieroglyph earrings were created for the woman who loves cats, Egyptian symbolism and unique artisan jewelry.
