Dog Cat Paw Prints Hearts Earrings, Copper Red Aqua Handmade Jewelry


dog lover cat lover handmade jewelry

The adorable "Best Buddy" earrings feature artisan copper paw print in hearts charms with red and aqua amber faceted Czech glass beads - dog and cat lover jewelry.

If you are looking for meaningful dog or cat paw prints and hearts jewelry, look no further than these adorable BEST BUDDY earrings! A perfect jewelry gift for the dog and cat lover, the one of a kind earrings were created with copper paw print on heart charms and two colors of faceted Czech glass rondelles. The oh-so-fun copper square-shaped charms were individually artisan made from beginning to end with pure copper. The design is a raised paw print in a recessed heart. The area around the hearts is also raised, adding wonderful texture. To add a rustic look, the charms were given a dark patina, polished to bring out the detail and then sealed. Since the dog and cat lover charms were individually artisan created, as you can see in the photos, they are very similar but not exactly the same.  To add a rich look and a pop of color to the overall earrings design, two colors and sizes of faceted Czech glass rondelles were used: red beads and aqua / amber beads. Since they are both faceted, subtle sparkle is added to the design. In addition, the bright scarlet red glass rondelles have an unexpected coppery gold Picasso finish at the top and bottom of the beads, adding even more charm. A glowing, translucent aqua and amber Czech glass rondelle sits above each red bead.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BEST BUDDY earrings were created for the woman who loves unique artisan jewelry and loves her dog(s) and / or cat(s), especially if the four footed buddies are rescues.

*** Please note: When sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the BEST BUDDY earrings will be donated to an animal rescue group to care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

Rhino Jackal Animal Earrings, Vintage Tin Swarovski Handmade Jewelry

 

sumatran rhinoceros black backed jackal earrings with crystals

The "Animalia" handmade earrings feature vintage tea tin animal dangles, Swarovski crystals and copper - unique animal jewelry for women.


Perfect handmade jewelry for the exotic animal lover, these unique, one of a kind ANIMALIA earrings are fun, looking as if they are antique Victorian animal art. The lightweight earrings feature vintage tin animal dangles with a rhinoceros and a jackal, Swarovski crystals and copper. Carefully hand cut, the animal dangles were reclaimed from a vintage tea tin. The edges of the dangles were ground to a silky smooth finish. The top animal is an illustration of a critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros, which now is only found on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. It’s an unusual looking animal with skin that has an armor-like appearance. The animal below the rhinoceros is a black-backed jackal found in eastern and southern Africa. It’s very fox-like in mannerisms and is mainly reddish with a black and silver “saddle” on its back with a bushy tail tipped in black. The back of the vintage tin dangles is a pale golden color with a mirror-like finish which does show a bit of wear.  To add eye catching sparkle to the earring design, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was carefully wire wrapped to sway below each of the animal tins. The color, a warm brown called “light Colorado topaz,” perfectly complements the earthy colors of the tins. A copper jump ring connects the dangles to a wonderfully texture rope design copper closed ring. Sterling silver French hooks, each with the addition of another brown Swarovski crystal, finishes the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ANIMALIA earrings will be much loved by the woman who loves to wear unique animal jewelry.
