Poppy Garden Earrings, Klimt Flowers Tibetan Beads Handmade Jewelry

The RED POPPIES handmade earrings feature Klimt inspired poppy garden dangles, Tibetan resin beads and orange Czech glass - unique art jewelry for women.

Perfect jewelry for the woman who loves lightweight, boho style earrings inspired by a famous artist, the colorful RED POPPIES earrings will be treasured by any art lover and worn time and time again. Long and dangly, the one of a kind earrings feature Gustav Klimt inspired red poppy garden polymer clay dangles and amber resin Tibetan beads. The amazing Klimt influenced dangles were individually artisan made from black polymer clay. The multicolored poppy design was drawn freehand into the clay, shimmering acrylic pigments were hand painted in layers for depth and two layers of a crystal protectant were added for many years of wearing enjoyment. The unique hand painted design is filled with vibrant orange red poppies with sweeping swirls in complementing aqua blue, orange, copper and gold pigments.  A black “frame” enhances the flowers. The back side is finished in mixed metallic pigments with the artist’s mark. As you can see, the dangles are different but similar in design. Since the dangles are made from polymer clay, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  Stacked above the red poppy dangles, perfectly highlighting them, are Tibetan resin beads and glowing orange Czech glass beads. Handmade by artisans in Nepal in the traditional manner of mixing resin with amber dust, the vintage-look Tibetan beads are a rich honey amber color that are somewhat translucent. Adding even more eye interest, the resin beads are inlaid around the middle with dotted brass wire. Stacked above each Tibetan bead, separated by a copper disc spacer, is a single translucent orange Czech glass bead with a light metallic finish that glows beautifully when the earrings are worn.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the RED POPPIES handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves art jewelry, especially those inspired by the flower garden paintings of Gustav Klimt.

Vintage Tibetan Azurite Bead Earrings, Crystals Handmade Jewelry Gift


handmade vintage tibetan bead earrings with Swarovski crystals

The "Lhasa Dreaming" handmade earrings feature vintage azurite Tibetan beads and Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for women.


Have the wanderlust but can’t make it to Tibet? Put on the beautiful LHASA DREAMING handmade earrings and pretend you are there. The one of a kind earrings feature vintage Tibetan gemstone beads and Swarovski crystals. The Tibetan beads were artisan handcrafted 40+ years ago from natural azurite, a fairly rare blue with green gemstone. As you can see in the photos, one bead has some dark matrix while the other doesn’t. Lovely flower shaped bead caps in Tibetan silver cap the top and bottom of each azurite bead.

To perfectly complement the color of the azurite gemstones and to provide maximum sparkle, a 6mm Swarovski crystal sits on top of each Tibetan bead, separated by a sterling silver daisy spacer. The rich color of the brilliant blue green crystal is called “indicolite.” Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the unique earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the LHASA DREAMING earrings will make a perfect gift for the woman who loves Tibetan art and adores wearing exquisite artisan jewelry.

*** Please note: Tibetan silver is an alloy consisting of copper combined with tin or nickel and usually plated with a silver-colored metal. It is NOT sterling silver.
