Tree of Life Yggdrasil Earrings, Painted Bronze Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "First Light of Day" handmade earrings feature artisan made solid bronze Tree of Life charms and pink and turquoise Czech glass beads - unique tree jewelry for women.

Looking as if the first soft hued rays of the morning sun are shining through a stand of trees, the FIRST LIGHT OF DAY handmade earrings are perfectly named and oh, so beautiful! They are ideal for the woman who adores symbolic Tree of Life / Yggdrasil jewelry. The earrings feature individually artisan created bronze charms with dusty rose pink and turquoise Czech glass beads complementing the tree dangles. The Tree of Life charms are pure bronze, created from precious metal clay.  The trees are raised against the background which provides wonderful texture. To provide delicate color, the background of the charms were hand painted in shades of peachy pink and pale golden green to represent the first light of day. Since the charms were individually handmade and hand painted, you can see that the pieces are very similar but not exactly the same. The back of the Tree of Life charms are shiny bronze and fairly smooth.  To highlight the background colors of the dangles, two vintage look, dusty rose pink Czech glass discs with a golden bronze Picasso finish were stacked above each charm.  An opaque light turquoise blue-green tri-cut Czech beads with a brown Picasso finish was added to the top of each earrings.  Since the beads have three facets (tri-cut) they add subtle sparkle to the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FIRST LIGHT OF DAY Tree of Life earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves nature, trees and the first light of the morning.

The Tree of Life / Yggdrasil charms were handmade from solid bronze with the background hand painted in soft hued colors.

Tree of Life Yggdrasil Earrings, Painted Bronze Handmade Jewelry Gift

Looking as if the first soft hued rays of the morning sun are shining through a stand of trees, the FIRST LIGHT OF DAY handmade earrings are perfectly named and oh so beautiful! They are ideal for the woman who adores symbolic Tree of Life / Yggdrasil jewelry. The earrings feature individually artisan created bronze charms with dusty rose pink and turquoise Czech glass beads complementing the tree dangles. The Tree of Life charms started their lives as bronze precious metal clay that was molded, formed and imprinted, and ended up, after being fired at high heat in a kiln, as pure, glowing bronze. The trees are raised up against the background providing wonderful texture. To provide delicate color, the charms were hand painted in shades of peachy pink and pale golden green to represent the first light of day. To highlight the background colors of the dangles, two dusty rose pink Czech glass discs with a golden bronze Picasso finish were stacked above each charm.  To add a pop of color to the design, an opaque light turquoise blue tri-cut Czech beads with an earthy brown Piasso finish was added, separated from the pink discs by a copper daisy spacer.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FIRST LIGHT OF DAY Tree of Life earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves nature, trees and the first light of the morning.

The Tree of Life / Yggdrasil charms were handmade from solid bronze with the background hand painted in soft hued colors.

Tree of Life Handmade Necklace & Earrings Set

- Yggdrasil Symbol with Labradorite, Sterling Silver, More -

This unique necklace and earrings jewelry set features a tree of life artisan pendant, labradorite gemstones, honey-colored jasper, rainforest jasper, freshwater pearls, and sterling silver components. The pendant is a large polymer clay disk with a silver background (1.25 inches around). Its front side shows the image of a stately tree whose green branches and golden brown roots richly fill out the surface. This image can be interpreted as the tree of life or, more specifically, as Yggdrasil, which is the name of life's sacred tree in Old Norse mythology. In either case, the pendant is a lovely and meaningful focal.

The labradorite beads reflect the pendant's silvery background. This is one of my favorite gemstones, with associations to the aurora borealis. These are semi-transparent round beads with various degrees of "flash"—iridescent shine—depending on the angle of light upon them. They were handcut and so have slight rustic variations that give them more character. All the beads have small dark speckling and present as a grey-colored stone. I particularly wanted to use this gemstone because it has an ancient, mythological quality which matches the tree of life symbol.

The honey-colored jasper beads serve as eye-catching accents of the warmer shades in the tree of life's trunk and roots. The color shade varies in these beads, making them especially interesting. The rainforest jasper, with its various shades of green and touches of orange-brown, adds a richness to the whole necklace while also complementing the tree of life's foliage. Bringing light-catching shine to back of the necklace are the freshwater pearls, whose hue is a warm off-white tan. The matching earrings are classic drops, with a two-bead design of rainforest jasper and freshwater pearl. Sterling rounds beads and earring hooks complete the pair, whose length is 1.125 inches.

 
This necklace and earrings set also includes high-quality 49-strand beading wire and sterling silver components such as round and rondelle beads, petalled bead caps, jump rings, earring hooks and wire, Bali-style clasp, heavy crimps, crimp covers, and wire guards. In short, all the metal in this set is sterling silver, with all the silver components but the clasp made in the USA or Italy. The clasp was made in Bali, Indonesia. The bail (ring) used for the pendant was handmade by me and carefully hammered for strength and durability. The necklace length is approximately 22.5 inches, including the clasp.

This stylish and meaningful tree of life necklace and earrings set was handmade by me with care, thought, and very best wishes for its destined wearer. It comes boxed and wrapped up nicely for gifting to a special nature-lover or anyone who finds meaning in the tree of life symbol—perhaps yourself!

ABOUT LABRADORITE
A type of feldspar, labradorite first became known to Europeans in the 18th century via Moravian missionaries who were working among the Inuit in Labrador, Canada. The missionaries named it after the region. Today the stone is found in various places around the world, but the connection to Labrador remains.

There are various native legends about this gemstone. In some, the stone originated in the aurora borealis; in others, the aurora borealis was imprisoned in the stones off the Labrador coast and a mighty ancestor set free most (but not all) of the aurora's light. A variation of the latter has the stars, rather than the aurora, trapped in the stones. Supposedly meteorites often have some labradorite in them.

Labradorite is considered a stone of strength and perserverance in times of adversity, conflict, and upheaval. Traditionally, it's a good luck stone and a gemstone of inspiration, and reputedly strengthens intuition and the ability to perceive the proper timing of things. In addition, it is believed to protect one's aura.

ABOUT JASPER 

Traditionally, jasper is seen as an earthy, nurturing stone with talismanic properties. Stability, tranquility, and healing are all commonly associated with jasper. It is composed mainly of chalcedony and quartz.
