Snowman Christmas Earrings, Swarovski Pearls Crystals Holiday Jewelry



holidays christmas snowman snowmen handmade earrings

The "Elegant Snowmen" handmade earrings feature Swarovski crystal pearls and jet black Czech and Swarovski crystals - unique holiday jewelry for her.


If you’re looking for a smile inducing pair of handmade Christmas earrings, ones that are not over the top holiday glitzy but have more than a touch of extreme elegance, the ELEGANT SNOWMEN earrings are the perfect pair for you. And what elegant snowmen they are, looking like they are stepping out on the town to go to a formal Christmas event. Featuring snow white Swarovski pearls, sparkling black Swarovski crystal collars were added along with black crystal top hats. The main body of each snowman is made with two different sizes of Swarovski crystal pearls, the larger for the body, the smaller for the head. As you can see in the photographs, the pearl finish is exquisite, like a gowing mirror-finish. Because of the fabulous glow of the Swarovski crystal pearls, I had a hard time photographing the earrings since the pearls reflected the colors around them, including my silhouette and the sky. Rest assured, the color of the Swarovski pearls are a lustrous snow white.  To add a touch of sparkly elegance to the snowman earrings, gold plated brass squaredelles set with faceted jet black Swarovski crystal bicones separate the larger pearl from the smaller pearl forming a sparkling collar. Two jet black crystals are found on each side of the wavy-edged squaredelles.  Since all handsome snowmen need a top hat, the hat of each snowman was made from faceted jet black Czech crystal rondelles (the bottom part of the hat) and faceted jet black Swarovski crystal bicones (the top part). The black collars and the black top hat are just the right amount of contrast with the pearls for eye catching appeal.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ELEGANT SNOWMEN earrings can be worn with any outfit, from very casual, to office wear, to your very dressy holiday wear (perfect with a little black dress!). These cuties will certainly become a "go to" pair of holiday earrings!

Burgundy Opaline Pink Swarovski Pearl Bracelet, Handmade Jewelry Gift


glowing purple and pink swarovski pearl bracelet gift for women

The "Luminous" handmade bracelet features two colors of glowing Swarovski crystal pearls and sterling silver - elegant jewelry for women.


The LUMINOUS handmade bracelet is definitely filled with an understated elegance and eye-catching radiance, jewelry that you will want to wear over and over again, perhaps stacked with other bracelets.  The gorgeous, one of a kind bracelet was created with two colors of Swarovski crystal pearls (an imitation pearl) and sterling silver in a slightly asymmetrical design. A gorgeous color combination, the color of the darker pearls is “burgundy” purple and the lighter color is “rosaline” pink. Four burgundy pearls are found on either side of the clasp, each separated by small sterling beads. In the center of the bracelet, five pale pink rosaline pearls are found, separated by a single burgundy pearl, three on one side and two on the other. Each cluster of rosaline pearls are capped on both sides with small sterling silver disc spacers and small sterling beads. As you can see in the photos, the Swarovski pearls are very lustrous with almost a mirror like finish - in fact you can see my silhouette in each pearl! A sleek sterling silver toggle clasp finishes the bracelet securely. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the LUMINOUS Swarovski pearl bracelet is perfect for the woman who loves glowing, artisan created jewelry.

What are Swarovski pearls? To start out with, they have a real Swarovski crystal center (rather than a plastic bead center as in most faux pearls). A signature, natural-looking pearl coating is applied layer by layer, even and thick, to mimic the nacre of real pearls. Swarovski pearls have a realistic weight and, when worn, will warm to your skin like natural pearls. They also are more resistant to perspiration, sun, perfume and scratches than real pearls.

The colors of the pearls are burgundy purple and rosaline pink - a gorgeous color combination.



Here's the important information for the LUMINOUS Swarovski pearl bracelet:
  • Burgundy Swarovski pearls:  app. 10 mm (0.4”)
  • Rosaline pink Swarovski pearls:  app. 10 mm (0.4”)
  • Metal:  sterling silver
  • Clasp:  sterling silver toggle clasp set
  • Length:  app. 7.5” / 19.1 cm - considered a women’s medium bracelet

Purple Pink White Enamel Earrings, Swarovski Pearls Handmade Jewelry


artisan enamel earrings in purple and pink

The unique "Bonheur" earrings feature artisan handmade spotted enamel dangles, Swarovski pearls, Czech glass and Swarovski crystals - fun jewelry for women.


Filled with a wondrous rustic beauty, the BONHEUR earrings will quickly become a handmade jewelry favorite. The one of a kind earrings feature two-sided artisan enamel dangles, purple Swarovski crystal pearls, Czech glass and Swarovski crystals. The eye catching, individually made dangles started out as copper squares which were torch enameled at high heat with white. While the white glass enamel was still hot, a glass frit of mostly purples and pinks but also with specks of brown was added to create random spotted designs on all sides. Because of the frit, the enameled dangles have an incredible raised texture which catches the light when the earrings are worn. The top bit of each square was torched black but left un-enameled for rustic beauty, a trademark of the artist who made them. Please note: because the enamel is high gloss, it was impossible to keep some glare off of the pieces when taking photos. “Bonheur” is French for “happiness.”  To perfectly complement the enamel dangles, a glowing Swarovski crystal pearl in a rich medium purple was used with a sheen that  is exquisite. A small sterling silver daisy spacers separates the crystal pearls from a milky translucent violet opal Czech glass bead and a "smoked topaz" Swarovski crystal bicone.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique BONHEUR earrings are a unique gift for the woman who adores one of a kind artisan jewelry.

The unique dangles were individually artisan enameled with white, purple and pink glass powder and frit.



Here's the important information for the BONHEUR earrings:
  • Enamel frit dangles: app. 22 mm x 22 mm x 1.5 mm (0.86” x 0.86”); artisan handmade by Nicole of NicNacBeads
  • Purple Swarovski crystal pearls: app. 10 mm
  • Violet opal czech glass discs: app. 4 mm x 3 mm
  • Swarovski crystals: faceted 4 mm “smoked topaz” bicones
  • Metal: copper (dangles) and sterling silver
  • Earwires: sterling silver French hooks
  • Length: app. 2.25” / 7.2 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires
