Red Roses White Hearts Earrings, Valentines Enamel Handmade Jewelry



red roses and white hearts valentines earrings



The exquisite ROMANCE earrings have everything it takes to make these a special handmade Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or birthday jewelry gift: white enamel hearts with words and a single red rose on each, complemented with faceted red coral. The hearts, which are artisan handmade, started out as copper blanks. Then enamel glass powder in the various colors was fused to the copper using a high temperature butane torch. Shiny white enamel glass powder was fused onto the front of copper hearts then a stencil and brown enamel glass was used to to create the line of words (French? Latin?). A rich red rose with green leaves and stems were then free hand fused on top. Since the roses were created free hand, you can see that they are very similar but not exactly the same. The back of the charms are enameled in black. Despite their larger size, the one of a kind hearts and roses earrings are lightweight to wear.

Since the heart charms are the main focal of the earrings, simple red coral rounds were stacked above the hearts, capped on the top and bottom with copper bicone beads to add lovely texture and glow. The red coral is faceted and adds subtle sparkle to the earrings with each movement of the head when worn. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bicone accents finish the unique earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ROMANCE earrings were created for the woman who adores wearing one of a kind artisan jewelry with a romantic vibe.

Frosted Pink Lampwork Earrings, Ruby Swarovski Handmade Valentine's Jewelry




frosted pink Valentines Day or Mothers Day earrings




Fun and flirty and oh-so-sparkly, the A POP OF PINK handmade earrings speak to the softer side of all women - but also adds a powerful punch of color. The glowing one of a kind earrings, perfect for a Valentine's Day or Mother's Day gift and for spring wear, were created with artisan, pale pink lampwork glass beads with a frosted sea glass finish, sparkling Czech crystal aurora borealis rondelles, ruby Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The lampwork beads were individually artisan handmade from transparent pink rose quartz glass. To give the frosted look, the beads were immersed in an “acid bath” to etch the glass for a soft, matte sea glass look. As you can see from the photographs, the beads positively glow! Just imagine them when they are on your ears! A silver over pewter flower bead cap embraces the bottom of each lampwork bead.

Now there is nothing subtle about the sparkle of the Czech crystal rondelles and Swarovski crystals that sit on top of the frosted pink lampwork beads. The Czech crystals, six in all, might be small but they make up for that with their brilliant sparkle, especially with their aurora borealis coating for a prismatic rainbow effect. A glittering 6 mm Swarovski crystal faceted bicone was nestled into the top of each rondelle. The color of the crystals is called “ruby,” a crimson red color that adds drama to the overall design. Perfect jewelry to enhance your little black dress or other party clothes, they are also lovely with laid back, casual jeans and a white or black shirt.  Created for the woman who adores pink jewelry, but with an added boost of color, the A POP OF PINK designer earrings were carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.
