Cross Earrings, Copper Lampwork Spirals Christian Handmade Jewelry

The meaningful "His Love" handmade earrings feature artisan copper cross dangles and artisan blue lampwork glass beads - unique cross jewelry for women.

What unique jewelry for the woman who loves Christian cross earrings! The HIS LOVE one of a kind, handmade cross earrings feature eye catching artisan copper cross dangles and beautiful lampwork glass beads. The copper dangles were individually artisan created and are actually three pieces connected together. The circular back was hand cut from pure copper sheeting, the edges filed to a silky smoothness. The circle is slightly concave and has a hammered and scratched design. A single copper cross hangs in front of the circles - each is “loose” so the crosses can sway back and forth at each movement of the head when worn. The hand formed double copper spirals are found at the top of the crosses to add even more eye appeal. All of the copper pieces were given a rich patina for a wonderfully aged, rustic look.  Just above the spirals are artisan made lampwork glass beads. The beads were created from a translucent rich blue borosilicate glass. While the glass was still hot, sage green with bits of raspberry glass was wound around the middle. As you can see in the photos, the lampwork beads are very similar, but because they were handmade, they are also somewhat different. Two copper daisy spacers and a 3 mm copper bead are stacked above the lampwork bead. Everything was rustically wire wrapped with a double strand of copper wire and attached to sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs the HIS LOVE earrings are both meaningful and stylish - a perfect gift for the woman who adores Christian cross jewelry.

Sun Moon Stars Celestial Earrings, Ceramic Blue Brown Handmade Jewelry

The "Celestial" handmade earrings feature artisan handmade sun, moon and stars ceramic discs, sapphire blue Czech roller beads and Swarovski crystals - gorgeous jewelry for women.

If you or someone you know loves anything having to do with the sky, especially the sun, moon and stars, then the well-named CELESTIAL handmade earrings are definitely a stellar jewelry gift!  The magical, one of a kind beauties feature artisan handmade ceramic discs with a celestial design, sapphire blue Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals. The beautiful discs were individually artisan handmade from porcelain clay, kiln fired, painted and then fired again.  As you can see in the photos, the center of the discs have a sun, crescent moon and stars designs, the raised areas with the natural porcelain color and the recessed areas filled with the medium brown glaze. To highlight the celestial design in the center, the outer rim has a rustic etched design and was painted with two shades of blue.  The back of each disc is finished with the blue glazes.  Perfectly complementing the eye catching celestial discs are Czech glass roller beads, to represent the night sky, and sparkling Swarovski crystals to represent the stars.  The roller beads are an exquisite translucent sapphire color with golden silver centers. The depth of these beads are amazing and they positively glow in the light when the earrings are worn.  Nestled into the top of each roller bead is a single 6 mm Swarovski crystal in an almost clear color called “crystal silver shade” with a soft silvery sheen. Since both the roller beads and the Swarovski crystals are faceted, there is a lot of star-like sparkle.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the stunning CELESTIAL handmade earrings are a meaningful jewelry gift for an astronomer, a sky watcher or anyone who loves artisan designer jewelry.

Flower Necklace, Cobalt Blue Pink Rose Quartz Gemstones Jewelry Gift

The Flower Explosion handmade necklace features an artisan lampwork flower focal, pink rose quartz, pewter beads and bead caps and sterling silver - one of a kind jewelry.

The FLOWER EXPLOSION necklace is definitely a refreshing, handmade beauty. A cobalt blue lampwork glass focal bead with pink flowers is the center of attention of the stunning jewelry design. The one of a kind necklace also features pink rose quartz melon beads, ridged pewter beads, leafy pewter bead caps and sterling silver. The eye catching lampwork glass focal was created right in front of me by a very talented glass artist from Fort Worth, Texas. Translucent cobalt blue glass makes up the body of the round art glass bead. Swirling pink flowers with wispy green and pale blue leaves look as if they are exploding out of the deep blue glass. Since the cobalt glass is translucent, it glows beautifully in bright light. Complementing the flowing flower and leaf design, a leafy pewter bead cap adds even more charm to each end of the lampwork focal bead. To highlight the pink flowers of the lampwork glass focal, elegant pink rose quartz in a novel melon cut make up the main body of the necklace. The ridges of the melon cut gemstones add lovely texture to the jewelry design and seem to catch and radiate light. Each rose quartz bead is separated by tiny sterling silver beads, with each group of three gemstones separated by pewter beads with etched ridges. To finish the necklace, a fancy sterling silver s-clasp set was used. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FLOWER EXPLOSION necklace was created for the woman who adores one of a kind, artisan jewelry.

The focal of the "Flower Explosion" necklace is artisan handmade:  translucent cobalt blue glass highlights the swirling pink flowers and green and pale blue leaves.

Here's the important information for the FLOWER EXPLOSION handmade necklace:

• Flower lampwork glass focal: app 20 mm x 20 mm (at widest); artisan handmade
• Rose quartz melon beads: app. 10 mm x 9 mm
• Ridged pewter beads: app. 6 mm x 5 mm
• Metal: pewter and sterling silver
• Clasp: fancy sterling silver s-clasp set
• Length: app. 18.5" / 46.9 cm
