Sky Blue Purple Flower Earrings, Czech Glass Pansies Handmade Jewelry

The one of a kind "Pretty Pansies" handmade flower earrings feature sky blue Czech glass pansy beads and plum purple melon beads - jewelry gift for women.

The PRETTY PANSIES handmade flower earrings are super sweet to wear all spring and summer long. Perfect floral jewelry for the woman who likes smaller earrings, the beauties feature sky blue Czech glass pansy flower beads, purple Czech glass melon beads and sterling silver. The focal of the two-sided earrings are the amazing Czech glass flower beads in a glossy sky blue silk color. The pressed glass beads have five petals and a recessed center with a starburst design. To highlight the sky blue flowers and to add a bit of a vintage look, a plum purple and metallic bronze Picasso finish was applied. It settled into the center of each flower and on the edges, each side being just a bit different. The flowers are capped on the top and bottom with a set of two tiny sterling silver disc spacers. Since the glass pansies are two-sided, the earrings look fabulous from any angle. To complement the pansy flowers beautifully, bringing out the colors of the center, translucent plum purple Czech glass melon beads were used. Glowing amazingly in the light, the beads have a metallic bronze Picasso wash. Two sterling silver disc beads and a single sterling round tops the melon beads. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PRETTY PANSIES earrings are a wonderful gift for the woman who loves flowers (perhaps a flower gardener?) and wearing one of a kind, artisan-designed jewelry.

The Czech glass flowers are two sided, a flower design impressed on each side making the earrings the beautiful from any angle.

Absolutely exquisite in their glowing beauty, the CAPRI handmade earrings will certainly delight the woman who loves one of a kind jewelry with the colorful essence of the Italian island of Capri. The unique, boho beach earrings feature frosted capri blue glass gogo donut beads and faceted Czech glass along with copper and sterling silver.

The beauties were created from translucent capri blue glass with a silky frosted, sea glass finish that, as you can see in the photo, positively glows when worn. Eye catching, indeed!  To perfectly complement the earrings design, a premium Czech glass rondelle was placed above each gogo bead. The gorgeous beads, which also glow when backlit, are a mix of translucent capri blue glass and opaque white glass. A light brown Picasso finish was applied to each end of the Czech beads, perhaps to represent a sandy beach. Since the beads are faceted, they sparkle like glints of sunshine on the water.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CAPRI earrings were designed for the woman who loves glowing artisan earrings with a boho flair.

The gogo donut beads are made from capri blue glass and have a silky frosted sea glass finish that glows in the light.

Millefiori Flowers Disc Earrings, Enamel Pink Blue Handmade Jewelry

The "Bellissimi Fiori" handmade earrings feature artisan millefiori enamel discs, artisan lampwork glass beads, Swarovski crystals and Czech beads - unique jewelry for women.

Sweet millefiori flower jewelry for spring and summer wear, the one of a kind BELLISSIMI FIORI handmade earrings are a perfect Easter or Mother’s Day gift for the woman who loves flowers. The dangle earrings feature artisan millefiori enamel discs, artisan pink lampwork glass beads, blue Swarovski crystals and pink Czech glass beads. The beautiful discs were artisan hand cut and filed from copper and hammered to create a concave dome shape. The domes were given a pink enamel glass background, shading from a light pink to a darker pink. To create the floral pattern, tiny multi-colored millefiori glass beads in mainly shades of blue, aqua and lavender were randomly added and melted with a high heat torch. Millefiori, a glass technique originally developed in Italy, is Italian for “thousands of flowers.” As you can see in the photos, each disc has a different millefiori flower design, beautiful against the pink background. The back of the discs are also enameled with pink and lavender.  To perfectly complement the enamel flower discs, three different types of beads were used. Just above each disc is a rich pink lampwork glass beads. The shape is a somewhat smashed flying saucer shape that has ridges on the top and bottom. Since the lampwork beads are translucent, they absolutely glow when the earrings are worn. Just above each lampie, separated by a small sterling silver daisy spacer, is a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a regal dark blue color called “indigo.”  Separated from each crystal by a small sterling disc spacer is silky, matte finish pale pink Czech glass bead that also glows in the light.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BELLISSIMI FIORI earrings are perfect for the woman who loves to flower garden, owns a flower shop or just just loves the soothing beauty of flowers. “Bellissimi fiori” is Italian for “beautiful flowers.”

Blue Red Flower Earrings, Pansy Czech Glass Crystal Handmade Jewelry

The "Flores Azules" handmade earrings feature blue with red Czech glass pansy flowers, Czech crystals and two shades of red glass beads - unique jewelry for the woman who loves flowers.

The FLORES AZULES handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who adores flowers. Perfect to wear all summer long - or all year long for that matter! - the one of a kind earrings feature blue Czech glass pansy flower beads with red highlights, Czech crystal rondelles and two shapes and shades of red Czech glass rondelles. The two-sided Czech glass flower beads started out as medium sky blue glass poured into the shape of a pansy with a recessed design in the middle. To bring out the gorgeous detailing in the middle and to give a rustic vintage look to the flowers, a Picasso finish in rusty red and moss green was added and then polished off the faces of the beads. The finish settled in the recessed areas and can be found on the sides of the beads, adding extra beauty to the flowers. Since the pansy flower beads are two sided, the earrings look fabulous from any angle. To perfectly complement the flowers and to add fun color and mega sparkle to the overall design, Czech glass crystals and red Czech glass beads were stacked above the pansy beads. Just above each flower is a silver rondelle set with seven Czech crystals in a rich blue color called indicolite (named after rare blue tourmaline). A bright scarlet red Czech glass bead nestles into each crystal rondelle. Since the beads are filled with small facets, they add not-so-subtle sparkle to the earrings. On top of each bright red bead, separated by a small sterling silver daisy spacer, is a dark red opal glass bead. Since these glowing beads are translucent, they look like they are on fire when the earrings are worn.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FLORES AZULES pansy flower earrings were created for the woman who loves flowers (perhaps a gardener?) and loves to wear one of a kind, artisan jewelry. "Flores azules" is Spanish for "blue flowers."

The beautiful flower earrings were created from medium sky blue glass with a red and mossy green Picasso finish to bring out the floral details.

Here's the important information for the FLORES AZULES handmade earrings: 

• Czech glass flowers: app. 15 mm x 5 mm (0.6” x 0.2”); red & moss green Picasso finish
• Indicolite blue Czech crystal rondelles: app. 7 mm x 3 mm
• Faceted bright red Czech glass beads: app. 6 mm x 3 mm
• Faceted dark red Czech glass beads: app. 5 mm x 3 mm
• Metal: sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks
• Length: app. 1.75” / 4.5 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Hieroglyph Earrings, Vintage Glass Snake Vertebrae Handmade Jewelry

The unique "Ancient Scribes" handmade earrings feature artisan Egyptian hieroglyph dangles, vintage glass snake vertebrae beads and sterling silver - one of a kind jewelry for women.

The ANCIENT SCRIBES handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves the wonder and mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphs. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan created pewter hieroglyph charms, vintage glass snake vertebrae beads and sterling silver. The lead free pewter dangles, individually hand cast, feature a different set of hieroglyphs on each charm. One dangle has, from top to bottom: an eye (which represents safety), a zigzag (represents water), two curved staffs (which represent folded cloth), a spiral (represents shelter) and an unidentified marking at the bottom. The other has: a sideways lotus bud (represents rebirth), a quail chick (represents the letter W which was a vowel sound) and a zigzag (represents water). The hieroglyph charms have a lovely antique, rustic look and aren’t the exact same shape. A bit wider on the bottom than at the top, they were given a patina to bring out the details of the hieroglyphs and then polished to look like heirloom silver. The back of the charms have a slightly grainy, darker finish. To add unexpected beauty to the design of the hieroglyph earrings, vintage glass snake vertebrae beads are stacked above the charms. Sometimes called zigzag beads, they get their more common name due to their resemblance to the interlocking vertebrae of snakes. Most vintage snake beads are Czech or French and were produced for African trade. The beads are at least 50+ years old and are colored coral orange and blue. For fun, two blue beads and one coral orange were stacked on one earring while the other has two coral orange and one blue bead. A 3 mm sterling silver bead nettles into the top of the upper vertebrae bead. Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the eye catching earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ANCIENT SCRIBES handmade hieroglyphs earrings were created for the woman who adores wearing unique designer jewelry. 

The fun hieroglyph charms were individually artisan hand cast from lead free pewter with vintage snake vertebrae glass beads topping the dangles.

Here's the important information for the ANCIENT SCRIBES handmade earrings:

• Hieroglyph charms: app. 24 mm x 12 mm at widest x 1.5 mm (0.95” x 0.47”); lead free pewter; artisan created by Inviciti

Blue Spike Dagger Boho Earrings Enamel Red Coral Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "Bellisimo in Blu" handmade earrings were created from artisan enamel spikes, artisan lampwork glass beads and red coral - boho jewelry gif for women.

If you love fabulously fun blue earrings in a boho spike or dagger design, then you’ll love the BELLISSIMO IN BLU handmade earrings. The exquisite, one of a kind earrings were created with artisan enamel dangles, artisan speckled blue lampwork glass beads and red coral. The gorgeously unique enameled dagger dangles were individually made from copper spikes. To create the background, shiny enamel glass powders in a rich blue color were fused onto the copper with a hot torch. Small bits of white glass powder were added to the lower part of the spikes to create falling "snow" or maybe flower petals. An Italian murrine glass cane was used to create the flower in the center top of each spike surrounded by lighter blue glass. To add extra eye appeal and texture, four raised red glass dots encircle the top of the murrine flowers. Since the dangles were individually handmade, they are very similar in design but not exactly the same. The back of the discs are enameled in black for a professional finish. Please note: since the enamel design was created with high shine enamel glass, there is quite a bit of reflection in the photos. Rest assured - the dangles are mainly a lovely blue with wonderful accents.  To perfectly complement the colors of the enamel daggers, artisan lampwork glass beads and red coral were used. The lampwork glass beads were individually artisan handmade with a base of clear glass. While that glass was still molten, a glass frit with shades of blue was added, creating blue speckles. Since the base glass is clear, the lampwork beads positively glow a radiant blue when the earrings are worn. To highlight the raised red glass dots on the spikes, red coral nuggets were added on top of the lampwork beads, separated by two sterling silver daisy spacers. Another sterling spacer and a small sterling bead rest on top of each coral nugget. Small red coral rounds were added to the sterling silver French hook earwires for extra fun. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of kind BELLISSIMO IN BLU earrings were created for the woman who adores unique spike jewelry with a definite boho flair!  "Bellisimo in blu" is Italian for "beautiful in blue."

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

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.

The "Irises" art earrings shown hanging - just imagine these hanging from your ears!

Here's the important information for the IRISES earrings:

• Irises polymer clay dangles: app. 27 mm x 20 mm x 4 mm (1.1” x 0.79”); artisan handmade by Phia Hunsaker
• Faceted aqua blue Czech glass roller beads: app. 9 mm x 6 mm (0.4” x 0.24”)
• Swarovski crystals: faceted 6 mm and 4 mm “light sapphire” bicones
• Metal: sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks
• Length: app. 2.5” / 6.4 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Cross Earrings, Copper Lampwork Spirals Christian Handmade Jewelry

The meaningful "His Love" handmade earrings feature artisan copper cross dangles and artisan blue lampwork glass beads - unique cross jewelry for women.

What unique jewelry for the woman who loves Christian cross earrings! The HIS LOVE one of a kind, handmade cross earrings feature eye catching artisan copper cross dangles and beautiful lampwork glass beads. The copper dangles were individually artisan created and are actually three pieces connected together. The circular back was hand cut from pure copper sheeting, the edges filed to a silky smoothness. The circle is slightly concave and has a hammered and scratched design. A single copper cross hangs in front of the circles - each is “loose” so the crosses can sway back and forth at each movement of the head when worn. The hand formed double copper spirals are found at the top of the crosses to add even more eye appeal. All of the copper pieces were given a rich patina for a wonderfully aged, rustic look.  Just above the spirals are artisan made lampwork glass beads. The beads were created from a translucent rich blue borosilicate glass. While the glass was still hot, sage green with bits of raspberry glass was wound around the middle. As you can see in the photos, the lampwork beads are very similar, but because they were handmade, they are also somewhat different. Two copper daisy spacers and a 3 mm copper bead are stacked above the lampwork bead. Everything was rustically wire wrapped with a double strand of copper wire and attached to sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs the HIS LOVE earrings are both meaningful and stylish - a perfect gift for the woman who adores Christian cross jewelry.

Bird Lover Earrings, Boho Blue White Vintage Look Handmade Jewelry

The fun "Birds of a Feather" earrings featured artisan bird charm dangles, translucent amber Czech glass beads, copper and sterling silver - unique bird jewelry for women.

Looking for fun handmade jewelry for the woman who loves birds and / or is a birder? These one of a kind BIRDS OF A FEATHER earrings are perfect, guaranteed to make the recipient smile! Created with sweet copper bird charm dangles, unique Czech glass beads, copper and sterling silver, they will quickly become favorites for the bird lover on your gift list. The delightful bird dangles look as if they are vintage jewelry pieces, but they are “faux vintage,” made to look well-worn and well-loved. The charms were created from modern copper: individually hand cut into a round shape, filed for silky smooth edges and sanded. A permanent metal transfer was applied and then the charms were sealed for years of wearing pleasure. The image on both charms is a colorful bird against an “antiqued” white background. The colorful dotted birds have a medium blue breast, stomach and tale, wings that shade from a pale to dark brown and a pale blue head. Both birds are facing the same way, to the left. Since the bird charms were individually handmade, there are slight differences which add wonderful rustic, antique vibes. The backside of the dangles are shiny copper. These earrings are VERY lightweight to wear.  

To perfectly highlight the charms, especially the color of the wings of the birds, translucent golden amber brown Czech glass beads hang above the dangles. The beads are an unusual shape, like a slightly smashed oval with a hole in a concave center. To give an aged look, a permanent Picasso finish was applied with a darker amber color and pale mossy lichen green. Because the beads are translucent, they positively glow when worn. The Czech beads are connected to bird charms by a heavy duty copper jump ring. They are rustically wire wrapped with copper wire to attach to sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the happy-looking BIRDS OF A FEATHER earrings were created for the woman who loves wearing lightweight artisan jewelry with a bird theme.

The bird charms were individually artisan handmade from copper with a permanent metal transfer - they are very similar but not exactly the same.

Here's the important information for the BIRDS OF A FEATHER handmade earrings:

• Vintage look bird charms: app. 20 mm x 1.5 mm (0.79”); artisan handmade by Helena Benkoczka
• Amber Czech glass beads: app. 10 mm x 8 mm x 5 mm (0.4” x 0.3” x 0.2”); aged Picasso finish
• Metal: copper and sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accents
• Length: app. 1.75” / 4.5 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Dog Lover Paw Print Necklace, Red Copper Sodalite Handmade Jewelry

The "My Four Footed Friend" handmade necklace features an artisan red copper dog paw print pendant, blue sodalite gemstones and copper ebads - unique dog lover jewelry for women.

Perfect jewelry for the dog lover, the meaningful, one of a kind MY FOUR FOOTED FRIEND handmade necklace features an artisan red copper paw print pendant, blue sodalite gemstones and copper beads. The unique pendant was cut from copper sheet metal and then textured using a technique called “repousse” (pounding the back of the metal from the reverse to give it form). A lovely raised paw print is found on the front of the square pendant including the four toe pads and the metacarpal pad. The back of the pendant shows the recessed paw print. A raised frame was soldered around the paw print and a round bail was attached at the top. To get the glorious red orange copper color, a patination formula was brushed on and then fired at high what with a torch. So the colors don’t fade and for years of wearing pleasure, the pendant was brushed with a metal lacquer sealant. A thick copper jump ring securely fastens the paw print pendant to the main body of the necklace.  To perfectly complement the colors of the dog paw print pendant, rich blue sodalite rounds were used. Sodalite is a beautiful gemstone that ranges in shades from a midnight blue to a very pale blue, sometimes with white veining. The sodalite used in the necklace is mainly a medium blue with some darker and lighter blue beads, The finish of the gemstones is a medium shine, not high gloss and not matte, but somewhere in-between. Copper bicone beads add a wonderful gleam and break up the sodalite into alternate groups of five stones and three stones. A sleek copper toggle clasp set finishes the paw print necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MY FOUR FOOTED FRIEND was created for the woman who loves her dog(s) and loves to wear one of a kind artisan jewelry.

*** Please note: when sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the MY FOUR FOOTED FRIEND dog rescue necklace will be donated to an animal rescue organization to help care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

The dog foot print pendant was artisan created from copper with a special torched patina to give it that amazing red color.

Here's the important information for the MY FOUR FOOTED FRIEND dog rescue necklace:

• Copper dog paw pendant: app. 22 mm with the bail x 12 mm x 3 mm (0.87” x 0.47”); artisan handmade by Patricia Healey

Blue White Flower Earrings, Enamel Lampwork Boho Handmade Jewelry

The gorgeous "A Field of Blue" handmade earrings feature artisan blue flower enamel dangles, artisan frosted lampwork glass beads, sapphire blue roller beads and leafy bronze bead caps - unique floral jewelry for women.

The charming A FIELD OF BLUE handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves to wear bold, boho-style flower jewelry. Reminiscent of a gorgeous field of swaying dark blue flowers, the beautiful one of a kind earrings feature artisan blue, green and white enamel floral dangles, glowing artisan frosted white lampwork glass beads, sapphire blue Czech glass roller beads, bronze bead caps, copper and sterling silver. The captivating enamelled copper long rectangles, which are almost 2” / 5.1 cm long, were individually created. Shiny white enamel glass powder was fused onto the front of the copper rectangles at very high heat with a torch. Azure blue glass powder was torched onto the white background to create the individual flowers, with lines of green glass powder to form the stems of the flowers. Black enamel finishes the back of the rectangles.  To perfectly complement the flower dangles, frosted white lampwork glass beads, premium quality blue glass roller beads and patinated bronze bead caps were used. The lampwork glass beads, located just above the flowers, were individually artisan created from clear glass. To add a frosted sea glass look, the beads were acid etched. Because the beads are frosted, they glow amazingly when the earrings are worn (please see photos #2 and #8 to see pics of the earrings hanging). A bronze bead cap with a leafy design clasps the top of the lampwork beads. Just above the frosted beads are faceted, richly colored sapphire blue Czech glass roller beads. Since the roller beads were created from translucent blue glass, they beautifully glow and sparkle. Leafy bronze bead caps were placed on the top and bottom of the roller beads. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique A FIELD OF BLUE boho earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear exquisite, one of a kind designer flower earrings.
