Black Cat Moon Halloween Earrings, Abalone Crystals Handmade Jewelry

 

vintage look handmade black cat halloween earrings abalone shell

The "Black Cats Under Full Moons" handmade earrings feature artisan black cat copper dangles, abalone shell coins and Swarovski crystals - unique Halloween jewelry for women.


If you are looking for a fun pair of black cat Halloween earrings, look no farther than these jewelry beauties! The one of a kind BLACK CATS UNDER FULL MOONS handmade earrings with a vintage feel feature artisan made black cat copper dangles, glowing abalone shell (to represent a full moon) and sparkling Swarovski crystals. The eye catching black cat dangles look as if they were upcycled from old cookie or tea tins, but they were individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. To add even more of a rustic look, the edges of the charms were purposefully left with file marks, but, rest assured, the edges are silky smooth. A black cat with an arched back is found on each charm, a mirror image of each other. The Halloween cats are highlighted by a shaded creamy yellow “halo” against a rich dark blue sky. The yellow eyes of the cat are easily seen against the jet black of the hair.  Since the dangles were individually handmade, there are slight differences which add wonderful antique vibes.  Because the cat charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  Each black cat is under a “moon,” represented by iridescent, color shifting abalone shell coins. Abalone is a type of sea snail that has been prized through centuries for its meat and for its glowing shell composed of nacre (mother of pearl). As you can see in the photos, the colors of the abalone shell range from a pale ivory color though pale pinks, blue and lavenders, all very muted but beautiful. Both shell coins have natural lines running through them, adding even more interest. The coins are two sided but the side that matches the cats better were wire wrapped tightly and glued to stay in front. To represent a star above each abalone moon, a faceted color-shifting “crystal paradise shine” Swarovski crystal bicone was used. The crystals have a multicolor metallic coating that radiates pale shades of purple, blue and green as the angle of the light shifts. A perfect complement! Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BLACK CATS UNDER FULL MOONS were created for the woman who adores unique, one of a kind Halloween jewelry, especially earrings with black cats!

Swarovski Skull Earrings, Rainbow Halloween Day of the Dead Jewelry


dia de los muertos day of the dead swarovski crystal skull earrings

The "Sparkling Skulls" handmade earrings feature Swarovski crystal skulls and Swarovski crystal bicones, both with an aurora borealis finish, for maximum sparkle!


If you are looking for a pair of maximum sparkle Halloween or Day of the Dead skull earrings, look no farther than these amazing jewelry beauties! The SPARKLING SKULLS handmade earrings feature two types of Swarovski crystals. The first are amazing Swarovski crystal flatback skulls. They are faceted and have a rainbow aurora borealis (AB) finish for great color shift depending on the angle of the light, as you can see in the photos (which certainly don’t do the earrings justice at all). Purples, pinks, reds, blues, teals, yellows and browns are just some of the colors that glitter and flash with a 3-dimensional feel at each slight movement of the head. Pewter bails (see photo # 9) were securely affixed to the back of the Swarovski skulls with industrial strength glue so the skulls could be wire wrapped with sterling wire to the upper part of the earrings.  More sparkle was added to the one of a kind earrings by adding more Swarovski crystals. The 6 mm bicones are a clear but have an AB finish added to ½ of the crystals for even more color shift to the earrings design.  Created for the woman who loves uniquely sparkling Halloween and Day of the Dead jewelry, the SPARKLING SKULLS earrings were carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.
