Dendritic Jasper Teardrop Earrings, Onyx Gemstone Handmade Jewelry Gift


black cream jewelry dendritic jasper black onyx

The exquisite "Elemental" gemstone earrings feature dendritic jasper teardrops, black onyx and sterling silver - unique jewelry for women.


With its exquisite fern-like inclusions, the ELEMENTAL handmade earrings are truly one of a kind eye catching beauties. Jewelry for the woman who loves natural gemstones, the earrings feature dendritic jasper in a teardrop shape, faceted black onyx and sterling silver. Jasper has had ancient ties to mankind for at least 10,000 years, a favorite stone used for carvings, in mosaics and inlays and as jewelry. Jasper comes in many different colors, some with the added beauty of a landscape or fern design. The unique dendritic jasper used as the main focal of the earrings has a creamy background with bits of rusty brown. But what absolutely catches the eye is the fern-like dendrites caused by magnesite filling micro cracks when the stone was forming billions of years ago (jasper is one of the oldest stones on earth). Just look at the gorgeous, feathery design! Even better, the teardrop gemstones are two-sided so the earrings are lovely from any angle. A small sterling silver daisy spacer was placed over the drill hole to add even more beauty.  Because the dendritic jasper is so gorgeous on its own, black onyx rondelles were used as a simple complement above the teardrops. Since the black onyx beads are faceted, they add subtle sparkle to a graceful design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ELEMENTAL dendritic jasper earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who adores wearing one of a kind, natural gemstone jewelry.

Irises Van Gogh Art Earrings, Blue Handmade Polymer Clay Jewelry Gift



handmade van gogh's irises art earrings

The Irises handmade earrings feature polymer clay dangles with a permanent transfer of van Gogh's painting, Czech roller beads and Swarovski crystals - unique art jewelry for women.


The colorful IRISES handmade art earrings are inspired by the famous  1889 painting of the same name by Vincent van Gogh. The one of a kind earrings were created with rectangle-shaped polymer clay art dangles, glowing premium Czech glass roller beads, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The unique dangles are individually artisan crafted from high quality black polymer clay with a permanent van Gogh art transfer of a cropped version of his painting, “Irises.” The beautiful painting (one half on one earring, the other half on the other) depicts a bed of blue irises with one white flower against red ground in the front and a yellow and green background.  For durability and shine, the dangles were given several coats of varnish. A black border on the polymer clay rectangle dangles defines the beautiful floral scene. The backside of the dangles are black and inscribed with the artist’s mark. Since the dangles are made from polymer clay, the earrings are very lightweight to wear. Please note: in the original painting, the white iris is on the left hand side.  To perfectly highlight the beautiful blues of the irises, premium quality Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals were used. Two roller beads are stacked on each other above the iris dangles. The faceted beads are a luscious translucent aqua blue color with a center of metallic copper which shows through as a light terracotta. When held up to the light, the beads positively glow, and since they are faceted, they add subtle sparkle. To add even more sparkle, a faceted 6 mm Swarovski crystal was nestled into each roller bead. The color is called “light sapphire,” a blue that mimics lighter sapphire precious gemstones. Sterling silver French hook earwires with a 4 mm light sapphire Swarovski on each finishes the earrings beautifully. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the IRISES earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear unique art jewelry based on the paintings of famous artists.

Halloween Pumpkin Earrings, Jack O Lantern Orange Handmade Jewelry


pumpkin halloween jewelry orange lampwork black crystals

The Jack O Lantern handmade earrings feature copper pumpkin charms with a grinning face, glossy orange lampwork glass beads and two types of black crystals - unique Halloween jewelry for women.


What a fun pair of one of a kind pumpkin earrings to wear to your favorite Halloween party no matter what your costume is! The grinning JACK O LANTERN handmade earrings feature unique artisan made copper Jack O Lantern pumpkins. To perfectly complement the copper dangles, rich orange artisan lampwork glass beads and two types of sparkling black crystals were used. You can’t help but smile when you see the Jack O Lantern pumpkin charms - they look like they are grinning from ear to ear (if pumpkins had ears!). The pumpkins were individually created: molded, shaped, carved and fired in a kiln from beginning to end from precious metal copper clay. Since the charms were torched at high heat to bring out the details, they have a rich, rustic copper patina on the front and back. As you can see, the detailing of the eyes, nose and mouth are exquisite, along with ridge lines that a pumpkin normally has. To add a pop of eye catching color, the pumpkin charms were paired with orange lampwork beads.  The lampwork beads have a high shine, glossy finish that catches and radiates light. Stacked above the orange lampwork beads are two types of crystals. The first are copper rondelles with a black metal finish that are set with a bevy of jet black Czech crystals.  The crystals might be on the smaller size but they add tremendous sparkle. To add even more glitter, nestled into the top of each rondelle is a single faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a black color called "jet.". Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the fun earrings. Designed and carefully handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the whimsical JACK O LANTERN earrings are perfect for the woman who loves to wear one of a kind, artisan jewelry for Halloween.

Frida Kahlo Art Earrings, Self Portrait Polymer Clay Handmade Jewelry


handmade frida kahlo earrings from polymer clay

The "Frida Preciosa" handmade earrings feature artisan polymer clay Frida dangles, magenta pink Czech glass roller beads and ruby Swarovski crystals - unique art jewelry for women.


The one of a kind FRIDA PRECIOSA handmade earrings are so very well named: “”gorgeous Frida” or “precious Frida,” indeed! These enchanting Frida Kahlo earrings are based on a full length self portrait, sometimes called “Between the Curtains,” painted in 1947 and dedicated to her friend Leon Trotsky. In the painting, she wears a long peach and white embroidered skirt, fringed brown shawl and gold jewelry. The Frida dangles are artisan created from high quality, rectangular-shaped black polymer clay with a permanent art transfer. For durability and shine, the dangles were given several coats of varnish. The self portrait has been closely cropped to only show Frida’s beautifull face and a pink flower in her hair. A black border acts like a frame to highlight the art . As you can see in the photos, the dangles are mirror images of each other, but, in the original painting, she is gazing to the right. The backside of the dangles are black and inscribed with the artist’s mark. Since the dangles are made from polymer clay, the earrings are very lightweight to wear. To see the original painting, here’s a link: https://www.fridakahlo.org/self-portrait-dedicated-to-leon-trotsky.jsp

To perfectly complement the Frida Kahlo polymer clay dangles, premium Czech glass roller beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals were used. The roller beads were created from a gorgeous magenta pink and clear glass mix with a silver metallic center. They have a rustic finish to them to add an aged look, and, since they’re translucent, the beads absolutely glow when worn. And with the addition of facets, they also add subtle sparkle. And talking about sparkle, a single faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a rich, eye catching color called “ruby” red was stacked on top of each roller bead, separated by a sterling silver daisy spacer. Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind FRIDA 
PRECIOSA earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who admires the vibrant Mexican artist.

Rustic Owl Earrings, Black Turquoise Blue Swarovski Handmade Jewelry


handmade hoot owl earrings with crystals gift for women

The "Twilight Owls" handmade earrings feature two sided, rustic Czech glass owl beads, aquamarine shimmer Swarovski crystals and sterling silver - unique bird earrings for women.


With their rustic, worn look, the TWILIGHT OWLS handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for a woman who is a birder or who just loves the majesty and beauty of owls. The one of a kind beauties feature rustic, two sided Czech glass coin beads created with a whimsical owl design and light blue Swarovski crystals. The coin-shaped owl beads, made in small batches in the Czech Republic, started out as opaque black base glass with an owl impressed into each side. A Picasso finish of mossy lichen colors was applied and then a turquoise blue wash was added. The blue wash settled into the recessed areas and “cracks” to highlight the details of the owl design, each side of the bead being a bit different. Since the owl beads are two sided, the earrings look charming from any angle when worn.  To perfectly complement the owl design and to add mega sparkle, faceted Swarovski crystal bicones were added to the top of the owl beads, separated by a small sterling silver bead. The color of the crystals is called “aquamarine shimmer.” The shimmer comes from a subtle iridescent finish that flashes pale purple, pinks and silver when the light hits the crystals just right.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TWILIGHT OWLS owl earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear one of a kind artisan bird jewelry with a boho vintage look.

Yellow Flowers Black Enamel Earrings, Carved Jet Boho Handmade Jewelry


handmade yellow and green flower floral teardrop earrings

The "Fiori Gialli" handmade earrings feature artisan yellow flowers on black enamel teardrop dangles and carved jet beads - unique jewelry gift for women.


Big and bold but lightweight to wear, the FIORI GIALLI boho earrings are perfect for dress up and dress down. The flirty earrings feature artisan created enamel yellow on black flower drops, hand carved jet gemstone beads and sterling silver. Individually handmade, the elongated teardrop shape charms, with a cut out circle on each, started out as copper blanks. A layer of black enamel glass powder was torch fired onto the copper. The flowers and stems were then created with yellow and green glass powders, also torched. Just look at the incredible detail of the mirror-image flowers that certainly stand out against the rich, glossy black - you can even see the individual petals! The back of the flower charms are finished with black enamel. Since the flower dangles started out as copper blanks, the earrings are lightweight to wear.  The yellow flower drops are wire wrapped with sterling silver wire to beautifully carved jet gemstone beads. Unlike many gemstones, jet is not a mineral, but is a mineraloid (organic mineral). It formed under extremely high pressure from naturally occurring wood as long ago as 182 million years. Jet is easily carved and has been used for ornamentation by humans since at least 10,000 BC. The glossy jet beads used to complement the enameled flower dangles were individually hand carved with an Asian motif. Please see photo #8 for a close up photo of the jet beads. Sterling spacers cap the top and bottom of each jet bead, adding a wonderful silver glow to the design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FIORI GIALLI one of a kind earrings were created for the woman who loves bold boho flower jewelry. “Fiori gialli” is Italian for “yellow flowers.”

Butterfly Wings Earrings, Black White Polymer Clay Handmade Jewelry


black and white polymer clay butterfly wing jewelry

The "Zebra Swallowtail" handmade earrings feature artisan butterfly wing dangles, black Swarovski crystals and Tibetan agate - one of a kind jewelry gift for women.


The ZEBRA SWALLOWTAIL nature inspired handmade earrings are so very reminiscent of the wings of a butterfly when first emerging from its chrysalis after its magical transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly. Folded and crumpled and sometimes different sizes, these unique earrings capture that transformative moment forever.

The beautifully patterned butterfly wings were artisan created from polymer clay in black, white and pink, inspired by an actual zebra swallowtail (minus the tail). The wings are two sided, folded, and one is just a bit bigger than the other by only about 2 mm. Because these lightweight beauties are two-sided, they look fabulous and intriguing from any angle.  To perfectly complement the butterfly wings, sparkling Swarovski crystal bicones in a color called “jet” black were used. A single small sterling silver bead separates it from a black and ivory Tibetan agate gemstone bead. The Tibetan agate is also faceted to add even more subtle glitter to the overall design.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ZEBRA SWALLOWTAIL butterfly wing earrings were created for the woman who loves the beauty of butterflies and adores wearing lightweight artisan jewelry.
