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!

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."

Colorful Valentines Hearts Earrings, Enamel Crystals Handmade Jewelry


pink white red green black and blue enamel valentines heart earrings

The "Crazy Hearts" handmade earrings feature colorful artisan created enamel hearts, pink roller beads and Swarovski crystals - unique Valentine's Day jewelry for women.


Perfect for the woman who doesn’t want “just any” Valentine’s Day jewelry, the CRAZY HEARTS one of a kind earrings are definitely eye-catchers and sure to please! These uniquely colorful beauties were created with individually artisan handmade enamel heart charms. Pink Czech glass roller beads and glittering Swarovski crystals highlight the fun. Starting out as copper blanks, the hearts were carefully layered with enamel glass powder and fused onto the copper with a high temperature butane torch. The base is shiny white enamel with tiny black dots. Circles and dots in pink, green, blue, red and yellow outlined in black are scattered over the hearts. To add even more fun, the hearts are similar but also very different in design. The back of the hearts are finished in shiny black enamel.  To perfectly complement the enamel heart dangles, premium pink Czech glass roller beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals were used. The faceted roller beads were created from a combination of various shades of pink and clear glass around a metallic copper center. Because of the metallic finish in the center, the roller beads positively glow!  And talking about sparkle, a single Swarovski crystal was nestled into the top of the roller beads. The crystals are clear but they have an aurora borealis (AB) finish so flashes of rainbow colors are mesmerizing (colors the photos hardly pick up).  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind CRAZY HEARTS earrings are a perfect Valentine’s Day / Mother’s Day / birthday jewelry gift for the woman who loves to flaunt vibrant designer jewelry.

Red Roses White Hearts Earrings, Valentines Day Handmade Jewelry Gift


red roses and white hearts valentines earrings

The "Romance" handmade earrings feature artisan created enamel hearts and roses charms and faceted red coral - unique Valentine's Day jewelry for women.


The exquisite ROMANCE earrings have everything it takes to make these a special handmade gift of jewelry for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or a birthday!  White enamel hearts with words and a single red rose on each are complemented with faceted red coral. The hearts, which are artisan handmade, started out as copper blanks. Shiny white enamel glass powder was fused onto the front of copper hearts then a stencil and brown enamel glass was used to create the lines 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.  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.

Rainbow Dichroic and Red Saturn Lampwork Earrings, Handmade Jewelry Gift

rainbow saturn glass earrings for women



Even though they might look like it, the SATURN earrings weren’t discovered in deep space by the Hubble Telescope. They aren’t from a faraway galaxy but were handmade right here on planet Earth and are waiting for the perfect earthling to wear them! These one of a kind beauties feature artisan handmade lampwork glass beads in a Saturn shape and copper accents. The lampwork beads started out as individually created rich red glass rondelles. To add radiant mystery, a band of rainbow dichroic glass was added around the middle of each rondelle. The bands were then encased in clear glass for a 3-D effect. As you can see from the photos, the colors of the bands are brilliant and color shift depending on how the angle of the light hits the dichroic glass. The shimmering colors are the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Since each bead was individually artisan handmade, they are very similar but not exactly the same.

Red and copper is such a lovely color combination as these earrings surely show. Bright copper bead caps with a textured leafy design cap each end of the Saturn beads. Rustic copper discs and shiny copper bicones accent the top and bottom of each bead cap, adding even more texture. Sterling silver French hooks earwires with copper bicone bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SATURN lampwork beads were created for the woman who adores wearing jewelry that no one else in the universe has!
