Owl Earrings, Birds Birder Faux Vintage Brown Blue Handmade Jewelry

The WISE OWLS handmade earrings feature artisan owl dangles, amber Czech glass and Swarovski crystals - unique bird jewelry for women.

Gorgeous nature inspired jewelry for the woman who loves birds, especially majestic owls, the unique WISE OWLS handmade earrings will quickly become favorites. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan created owl charms that look as if they were pulled from a book of antique bird illustrations. Faceted, translucent amber glass beads, indicolite Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver complement the owl dangles. The eye catching, square-shaped owl charms look as if they are vintage jewelry pieces. But they are faux vintage, having been individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper with a permanent metal owl transfer.  The beautiful owls, which look very similar to barn owls, are light beige and a medium cinnamon brown color with darker feather markings. The head is gazing to the left and features a whitish, heart-shaped face with a dark eye and a pale beak. The background is a somewhat mottled sky blue. Since the dangles were individually handmade, there are slight differences which adds a wonderful antique vibe.  Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  To perfectly highlight the colors in the owl charms, faceted Czech glass beads and Swarovski crystals were stacked above the dangles. The translucent Czech glass beads are a rich amber color with bits of opaque white.  Since the beads are faceted, they add subtle sparkle to the earrings design. And adding LOTS of sparkle are the faceted Swarovski crystal bicones in a rich color called “indicolite,” an indigo-blue color that mimics tourmaline gemstones.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind WISE OWLS earrings are a great gift for the woman who adores owls / birds, is perhaps a birder and loves wearing, lightweight artisan designed jewelry.

Bird Earrings, Peeps Sandpipers Ivory Copper Handmade Birder Jewelry

The fun "Peeps" handmade earrings feature Czech glass bird coins, copper bicones and sterling earwires - bird lover jewelry for women.

Unique for the woman who likes small but fun, eye-catching jewelry, the PEEPS handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the birder in your life or for the woman who just loves the beauty of birds, especially sandpipers, also called peeps. The one of a kind earrings feature Czech glass coin shaped beads with an imprinted bird, copper bicones and sterling silver earwires. The sweet coins were created in the Czech Republic from ivory glass that is slightly translucent. A walking bird design, somewhat reminiscent of sandpipers (peeps) as they scurry along the beach, was pressed into both sides of the coins. Then, to bring out the details of the peeps and to add a rustic look, the beads were covered with a metallic bronze Picasso finish. They were then polished, leaving the bronze finish in the recessed areas and other tiny crannies. As you can see in the photos, the birds on both sides are very similar but also different. Since the bird beads are two-sided, they look fabulous from any angle.  A simple design was chosen to compliment the sandpiper bird coins. Three copper bicones were stacked above the coins while a single copper bicone is found below. The elements for each earrings was wire wrapped with a copper head pin and then connected to sterling silver French hook earwires. A copper bicone was added to each earwire for added beauty. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the fun PEEPS earrings are a perfect gift for the bird lover who adores wearing one of a kind artisan jewelry.

Bird Earrings, Vintage Tea Tin Nuthatch Handmade Birder Jewelry Gift

The "Birds of a Feather" handmade earrings feature vintage tea tin nuthatch bird charms and Swarovski crystals

The BIRDS OF A FEATHER handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift idea for the woman who is a birder or just loves birds! The fun, one of a kind earrings feature vintage tea tin charms with a whimsical nuthatch design. To simply and perfectly complement the birds, three Swarovski crystals hang in a cluster below the dangles. The whimsical bird on the charms is a nuthatch, perhaps a pygmy nuthatch, in a pose that is so evocative of the tiny bird as it creeps up and down a tree searching for insects. The art work has a watercolor feel, with the bird’s black head, gray back and peachy underside. A single green leaf is found with a misty, swirling background. The unique upcycled nuthatch charms were individually hand cut from a vintage tea tin, the edges ground to a silky smooth finish. The backside of each charm is a matte gold.

The unique nuthatch dangles were cut from a vintage tea tin, the edges ground smooth.

To add eye catching sparkle to the bird earrings, a cluster of three Swarovski crystals and sterling silver beads dangle below the charms. The color is called “padparadscha,” a delicate mixture of pink and orange reminiscent of the rare sapphire of the same name, perfectly highlighting the peachy color of the underside of the nuthatch. To add even more glitter, a single padparadscha crystal was added to each sterling silver earwire. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BIRDS OF A FEATHER earrings were created for the woman with a love for wild birds and one of a kind artisan jewelry.
