Pink Waves Earrings, Brown Swarovski Valentines Handmade Jewelry Gift

 

pink handmade earrings swarovski crystals

The "Pink Wave" handmade earrings feature unique Czech glass coins and sparkling Swarovski crystals - one of a kind jewelry for her.

If you are searching for a stylish pair of handmade earrings that are also very eye catching, the one of a kind PINK WAVES beauties are for you! Created from gorgeous Czech glass coins and mega-sparkle Swarovski crystals, they are a perfect Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day gift to be worn all year long. The Czech glass coins used as the focals are absolutely stunning. These particular beads are a coin shape created with a combination of clear and pink glass and a dimpled, textured edge. The pink glass is in a flowing, wave-like design with many hues, from light pink to dark pink. The clear glass accentuates the pink waves perfectly. Then, as if the Czech beads needed more beauty, an earthy brown Picasso finish was applied to the beads. It was then polished off the flat faces of the coins but left in the crevasses of the textured crust edges. Since the glass beads were made in very small batches, they are similar but not exactly the same - even the fronts and backs are a bit different - as you can see in the photos.  To add maximum sparkle to the earrings and perfectly complement the Czech coins, two colors and sizes of faceted Swarovski crystals bicones were used. The larger 6 mm Swarovski crystal is a color called “light Colorado topaz,” a warm, light brown shade. Stacked above, separated by a small copper bead, is a 4 mm crystal in a color called “rose,” a perfect shade of medium pink. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind PINK WAVES earrings were created for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry that no one else has!

Tree of Life Sun Spiral Necklace, Rose Quartz Rustic Handmade Jewelry


tree of life sun spiral rose quartz handmade necklace jewelry gift

The unique "Arburu de Vita" handmade necklace features a handmade Tree of Life pendant and faceted rose quartz nuggets - symbolic jewelry for women.

Stunning with its artisan handmade, hand painted tree of life pendant and faceted pink rose quartz nugget gemstones, the one of a kind ARBURU DE VITA necklace is a beauty you’ll want to wear over and over again. The eye catching necklace features a rustic pendant created from off-white polymer clay. Borrowing on an ancient symbol found through the history of mankind, a Tree of Life design with leaves and a spiral shaped root is raised against the background. Added above the tree is a hand formed rayed sun. Hand painted in rich colors of aqua turquoise, pink, lavender, purple and bits of brown, the colors settled into the recessed areas and the “cracks.” To add a rustic vibe, the Tree of Life pendant was lightly sanded with fine grit sandpaper on the tree and around the edges to let bits of the off-white base clay to show through. The back is also painted. To perfectly complement the Tree of Life pendant, faceted rose quartz nuggets were used. The colors shade from a pale pastel pink to a medium pink; some nuggets are translucent while some nuggets are opaque. For the most part, the nuggets are longer than wider, and, since they were hand cut, each nugget is different, adding wonderful texture to the necklace. Because the rose quartz nuggets are faceted, unexpected sparkle is added at each movement when the necklace is worn. So the necklace drapes beautifully when worn, each nugget is separated from its neighbor by a small sterling silver bead adding bits of silver glow. A sleek sterling silver toggle clasp set finishes the design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique ARBURU DE VITA necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who loves the symbolism of a Tree of Life and adores wearing one of a kind designer jewelry. “Arburu de vita” is Corsican for “tree of life.”

Heart Flowers Earrings, Valentines Purple Red Copper Handmade Jewelry


hand painted red purple heart jewelry aurora glass beads

The "Bei Cuori" handmade earrings feature artisan hand painted hearts and flowers copper dangles and glowing Czech glass druk beads - unique jewelry for women.


Beautiful for your sweetheart at any time of the year, these handmade BEI CUORI hearts and flowers earrings are a perfect gift for Valentines Day and Mother’s Day, especially for a woman who loves to grow flowers. The one of a kind earrings feature colorful artisan created copper dangles along with glowing etched Czech glass beads. The oh-so-pretty hearts and flower charms were artisan made from beginning to end from pure copper. The design is a partial daisy design in a heart, the flower raised to provide wonderful texture to the charms. To highlight the flowers, the charms were individually hand painted: a rich red for the floral disc and violet purple for the petals. To protect them for years of wearing pleasure, the charms were coated with a glass like resin finish. 
Exquisitely complementing the colors of the hearts and flowers charms are etched Czech glass druk beads. The beads started out with a clear glass base, were etched for a rustic vibe and then partly coated with a dramatic metallic raspberry pink finish and / or a color shifting aurora borealis finish. The druk beads on the bottom have an aurora finish on about ⅓ of the beads, shifting in color from golden to blue to green and several others depending on the angle of the light. The upper beads have the metallic raspberry finish which has a mystic red to orange shift. Since the finishes are only on ⅓ of the beads, the earrings are constantly changing as the beads rotate. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the beautiful earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BEI CUORI hearts and flowers earrings will be a cherished jewelry gift for the woman who adores wearing one of a kind, artisan designed jewelry. “Bei cuori” is Italian for “beautiful hearts.”

Pink Winged Heart Earrings, Valentines Lampwork Handmade Jewelry Gift


pink fuchsia lampwork winged hearts earrings valentines gift for women

The gorgeous "Winged Hearts" handmade earrings feature artisan lampwork glass winged heart beads and Swarovski crystals - unique Valentines jewelry for women.


Winged hearts are used as a symbol of a joyous and free spirited nature. And, as you can see, these earrings are joyous in their own right! Fun heart jewelry to wear all year long, the romantic WINGED HEARTS handmade earrings are also definitely filled with Valentine’s Day vibes. The one of a kind earrings were created from pink and fuchsia lampwork glass hearts, Swarovski crystals in two color and sterling silver. The exquisite lampwork hearts were individually artisan made from two types and colors of glass: a shiny, soft pink opaque glass with tiny lines of clear streaks make up the body of each heart, and the wings were formed from a transparent, rich fuchsia colored glass. When worn, the fuchsia wings absolutely glow, as you can see in the photos of the earrings hanging. They are absolutely eye-catching! Since the winged hearts are artisan made, they are very similar but are also a bit different.

To perfectly complement the winged hearts and to add amazing sparkle, faceted Swarovski crystal bicones in two colors and sizes were stacked above the hearts. The larger crystal is an opaque milky pink color called “rose alabaster.” The smaller is called “fuchsia,” named after the beautiful flower, a hot pink shade with a hint of purple. Sterling silver French hook earwires with an added fuchsia pink crystal finishes the earrings beautifully. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the WINGED HEARTS earrings were created for the woman who adores unique heart earrings that can be worn all year long.

heart valentines earrings with swarovski crystals

The "Corazones Preciosas" handmade earrings feature artisan created lampwork glass heart beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals - unique Valentines gift for women.


The artisan made lampwork glass heart beads used to create the CORAZONES PRECIOSOS earrings are absolutely charming! And pairing the one of a kind beauties with mega-sparkle Swarovski crystals, you have exquisite jewelry you’ll want to wear year long, not just for Valentine’s Day! The two-sided lampwork puffy hearts started out with a base of rich coral orange glass. To create eye appeal, a band of contrasting ivory glass was added. Lines and dots of fine silver embellish the ivory bands, adding wonderful texture and a silver gleam. A single sterling silver daisy spacer and small sterling bead caps the bottom of each heart with a single sterling bead capping the top. Swarovski crystals are renowned for their breath-taking sparkle, and the ones used for these earrings are no exception. Sitting on top of the sterling bead is a faceted Swarovski bicone in a fiery color called “Indian red,” a perfect complement to the coral orange of the hearts. To make the earrings seemingly dance from your ears, two links of long and short sterling box chain connect the main body of the earrings to the sterling silver French hooks. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CORAZONES PRECIOSOS lampwork heart earrings were created for the woman who loves unique heart jewelry - a perfect Valentine’s Day gift, Mother’s Day gift, birthday gift or “just because” gift! “Corazones preciosas” is Spanish for "precious hearts."

Red Hearts Silver Valentines Earrings, Crystals Handmade Jewelry Gift


red hearts and swarovski crystals valentines jewelry gift for her

The "Heart to Heart" handmade earrings feature rich red and silver Czech glass hearts and red Swarovski crystals - lovely Valentine's jewelry gift for women.


Although the HEART TO HEART handmade earrings are filled with the romance of Valentine’s Day, they can easily be worn all year long. The sweet and petite one of a kind earrings features red and silver Czech glass beads with an elongated heart design, sparkling red Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The two-sided glass hearts were made in the Czech Republic from rich red glass with a pressed design on both the front and the back. The design is reminiscent of splayed veins on a leaf. To bring out the detailing and to add a vintage look to the hearts, a silver Picasso finish was applied and then polished off, leaving the silver in the recessed areas and on the edges. Since the glass is translucent, the hearts positively glow when worn.  To perfectly complement the hearts and to provide maximum sparkle to the earring design, faceted Swarovski crystals round beads were added. The color, called “Siam,” is a deep ruby red that seems to capture light and then radiate it again.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the HEART TO HEART earrings are a perfect gift idea for the woman who loves to wear unique artisan jewelry.

The BONJOUR handmade earrings will make you smile and want to say “Hello” each and every time you wear them. Beautiful one of a kind floral earrings, perfect for a Valentines gift, they were created from copper daisy flower and heart charms, artisan spotted purple and fuchsia lampwork beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals. The oh-so-pretty flower charms were individually artisan created from pure copper. The design is a sweet daisy in a heart, the flower raised to provide wonderful texture to the charms.  The daisies have a beautiful copper glow that the photos don’t do justice to. Since the flower and heart charms were individually created, you can see that there are slight differences in each charm - guaranteed handmade!  Stacked above each daisy heart charms is a speckled lampwork glass beads and two colors of Swarovski crystals. The lampwork beads, also individually artisan handmade, started out as clear glass. When the glass was still in its molten stage, plum purple and fuschia pink frit was applied to add fun color and darker fuchsia spots. These translucent beads absolutely glow when the earrings are worn!  Perfectly matching the colors of the lampwork beads and to add mega sparkle, two colors of faceted Swarovski crystal bicones were used: amethyst purple and fuchsia.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BONJOUR handmade earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear cheerful artisan jewelry! “Bonjour” is French for “hello.”

Red Poppies Earrings, Flowers Copper Coral Handmade Valentine Jewelry


red poppies flower earrings gift for women



Perfect springtime flower jewelry that is also perfect for year long wear, the cheerful PRETTY POPPIES handmade earrings will put a smile on your face every time you wear them! The one of a kind earrings were created from artisan red poppy flower charms complemented by red coral and Swarovski crystals. The unique charms look like they were cut from old cookie or tea tins. But they only mimic vintage tins since they were hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was then applied: a field of perky red poppies with seed pods, green leaves and stems against an ivory background. Because the charms were individually handmade, they are very similar, but, if you look closely, you can see a bit of a difference. The back of the charms are glowing copper which will gradually gain a patina over time. Since the charms are made from copper, the earrings are extremely lightweight to wear.


red poppies jewelry gift for women



To add simple finishing touches, red coral and Swarovski crystals were used. The red coral, a great complement to the red poppies, are small drum shaped. Each has a small dot of black pitting that is a natural part of coral. To add sparkle, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was stacked above each piece of coral, separated by a copper disc spacer. The color of the crystals is called “white opal,” a translucent creamy color with plenty of glitter. Sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PRETTY POPPIES artisan earrings are a perfect gift idea for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, a birthday or “just because.”

Pink Brown Ruby Earrings, Czech Glass Valentines Handmade Jewelry Gift


pink and brown earrings Valentines gift for women



Since a loved one will be ecstatic to receive these wondrous handmade earrings, I just had to call them TICKLED PINK! The one of a kind earrings are a lovely combination of clear, pink, brown and ruby red, perfect for a Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day jewelry gift, especially if the woman receiving them loves earrings on the smaller side. Czech glass coins are the highlight of the earrings, a gorgeous combination of clear and various shades of pink, the pink glass raked in the shape of wings. The wings are so amazingly eye catching surrounded by the clear glass. The edges of the coins are very uniquely textured in an uneven “crust” edge for a rustic look. A brown Picasso finish was added to the edges and then polished off leaving more the the finish in the recessed areas to accentuate the beauty of the edges. Since these premium Czech coins are handmade, you can notice the slight differences in the beads.

Stacked above the coins are tri-cut ruby red Czech glass round beads, also with a Picasso finish in lichen green and gray. Since there are three facets (tri-cut), the glowing ruby beads add subtle sparkle to the overall design. Small copper daisy spacers and 2 mm beads separate the ruby red beads from the pink and brown coins. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TICKLED PINK earrings are perfect for the woman who adores wearing artisan jewelry.

A perfect pair of meaningful earrings for the dog lover, the PAWSOME earrings will quickly become a jewelry favorite when gifted for Valentines Day, Mother’s Day, a birthday or just because. The awesome earrings were created with individually artisan handmade hearts shaped lampwork glass beads with dog paw prints, Czech glass rondelles and sterling silver.

Because the hearts are two sided, the earrings look fabulous from any angle when worn.
