Hare Rabbit Earrings, Spirals Moonstone Crystals Handmade Jewelry Gift

  

The "Jump for Joy" handmade earrings feature hare or rabbit enamel charms, glowing moonstone gemstones and Swarovski crystals - unique spring and summer jewelry for women.

Guaranteed to make you smile each and every time you wear them, the one of a kind JUMP FOR JOY hare / rabbit earrings are special pieces of whimsical jewelry that welcome spring, are perfect to celebrate Easter and can be worn all year long. Created with artisan enamel hare dangles, the fun earrings also feature flashing moonstone gemstones and glittering Swarovski crystals. The eye catching rabbit dangles were individually artisan made glass enameled copper.   A permanent decal with a leaping hare or rabbit design was applied while the glass was still molten. The whimsical long eared hares are grey with light brown highlights. Their long legs show that they are leaping along as they’re going about their business, perhaps celebrating the warmer weather. Hand painted spirals and dots also grace the lovely design. The back of each dangle is also enameled with speckled dark blue glass for strength and durability. Since the rabbit charms are individually artisan handmade, they are very similar in design but not exactly the same.  Since the leaping hares remind me of the Moon Rabbit, a Far Eastern mythical figure that lives on the moon often as a companion to the moon goddess, Chang’e, gorgeous moonstone gemstones and sparkling Swarovski crystals were stacked above the charms. Used in jewelry for many millennia (the Romans believed moonstone was solidified rays of the moon), moonstone is famous for its mesmerizing opalescent play of light, often flashing pearly blue when the light hits it just right. Unfortunately, the photos don’t do justice to the breathtaking flashes, but they definitely are there, much brighter than is shown. Two hand cut moonstone heishe are used, separated by copper disc spacers. To represent the stars, a single faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was placed above the moonstone. The clear crystals have an iridescent coating called “aurora borealis” (AB) which, when the light hits them right, produces an explosion of dazzling rainbow colors in blues, pinks, and yellows.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the JUMP FOR JOY earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves whimsical rabbit earrings celebrating the joy of spring.

The enamel on copper hare and spiral dangles were individually handmade with an enamel transfer and hand painted spirals and dots.

Flower Boho Earrings, Colorful Blue Enamel Lampwork Handmade Jewelry

The gorgeous "Flower Fantasy" handmade earrings feature artisan enamel flower dangles, artisan lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals - unique boho jewelry for women.

If someone you know and love has an undying passion for flowers (a gardener, perhaps, or a flower shop owner?), the FLOWER FANTASY handmade earrings are an exquisite gift for her! Perfect boho jewelry for spring and summer wear, the lightweight earrings feature colorful cut out rectangle enamel floral dangles, spotted periwinkle blue lampwork beads and sterling silver. The one of a kind, individually artisan created enamel dangles bring a beautiful bouquet of flowers to life! Medium blue glass powder, permanently fused at high heat onto cut out copper rectangles, was used to create the washed background. The eye catching glass flowers are in shades of peachy pink, yellow, turquoise blue and purple with red centers and green leaves and stems. Each was painstakingly applied bit by bit by hand, creating a dazzling raised design with a wonderful three-dimensional texture.  To perfectly complement the flower charms, an artisan made lampwork glass bead was placed above the dangles. The lampwork beads were created from opaque periwinkle blue glass with frit dots in shades of burgundy, yellow and aqua blue, highlighting the colors of the flowers on the dangles. The finish of the lampwork beads is high shine as you can see in the photos. A pewter bead cap with a leaf design and two 3 mm sterling beads cap each glass bead. Sterling silver French hooks finish the earrings. To add sparkle and to accentuate the small yellow flowers, a faceted “sunflower” yellow Swarovski crystals was added to each earwire. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind FLOWER FANTASY earrings were created for the woman who loves gorgeous boho flower jewelry. They also make a beautiful Easter or Mother's Day gift.

Pink, Green and Purple Flower Lampwork Silver Bracelet and Earring Set

Pink and Green Flower Lampwork Bracelet and Earring Set

Spring is in the air with this distinctive pink flower lampwork bracelet and earrings set. A perfect gift for Mother's Day or just to treat yourself for the upcoming Spring and Easter holiday. The bracelet was created using 3 different styles of glass lampwork beads. First, the perfect pink cosmos flower is reflected in great detail along the outer edge of pretty peridot green glass beads. The second bead is translucent glass with spring green swirls weaving around the outer edge. The third is a deep amethyst purple glass bead with pretty ribbon-like stripes and green dots. I have added art deco pewter bead caps to each side of the glass lampwork. In between are Czech rose porphyr fire polished crystals. These lovely Czech glass beads go from translucent to opaque with swirls of pink and white. The overall length of the bracelet is 7 inches or 17.8 centimeters. 

Pink Cosmos lampwork beads

The bracelet is finished off with sterling silver wire guards to protect the beading wire from wear and adding longevity to the bracelet. For the closure I selected a TierraCast silver-plated lobster claw clasp. For the final touch I added a textured security chain so that the bracelet will not accidentally fall off. The security chain can also be used to add a bit of additional length to the bracelet. To complete the set I created a pair of matching earrings using the clear glass and spring green swirled lampwork beads. The earring dangles sway from hypo-allergenic leverback earrings which are great for preventing the loss of your earrings. The leverbacks are produced in the United States.

Beautiful gift for Mom for Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day or on her birthday
