Blue Brown Red Bracelet, Sodalite Gemstone Czech Glass Handmade Jewelry

The earthy "Bontà" handmade bracelet features a color block design with faceted blue sodalite gemstones and two colors of faceted Czech glass rondelles - unique jewelry for women.

Beautiful in all it’s earthy goodness, the BONTÀ handmade bracelet will quickly become favorite jewelry for your wrist. The eye catching, color block bracelet features gorgeous faceted blue sodalite gemstones and faceted Czech glass beads in creamy brown and bright red. Sodalite, a gemstone that was sacred to many ancient indigenous people in Peru, Bolivia and other countries, is normally varying shades of royal blue with natural white veining. As you can see in the photos, the blue ranges from very dark to a pale light blue. Most of the sodalite stones have various amounts of veining, some just a few streaks while some have large white patches. The sodalite is grouped in two sets of three and one set of five, each gemstone separated by a small sterling silver bead. Since the sodalite is faceted, the gemstones sparkle as the bracelet is moved.  To add an earthy look, brown Czech glass rondelles were added into the mix. The glass is an opaque creamy tan with a Picasso finish of dark toffee brown with bits of greenish blue on the ends. The middle of the beads are faceted for subtle sparkle. There is a grouping of three of these rondelles in addition to a single. To add a pop of bright red color to the bracelet design, scarlet red Czech glass rondelles were scattered through the bracelet: three singles and one set of three. The center of the scarlet red beads are faceted for glitter and the ends have a metallic copper Picasso finish. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BONTÀ bracelet was created for the woman who loves wearing one of a kind, artisan jewelry. “Bontà” is Italian for “goodness.”

Beautiful blue and white sodalite gemstones are faceted to add lovely sparkle to the bracelet.

Here's the important information for the BONTÀ handmade bracelet: 

• Faceted sodalite gemstones: app. 8 mm (0.3”)
• Faceted brown Czech glass rondelles: app. 8 mm x 6 mm
• Faceted scarlet red Czech glass rondelles: 6 mm x 4 mm
• Metal: sterling silver

Pink Waves Earrings, Brown Swarovski Valentines Handmade Jewelry Gift

 

The "Pink Wave" handmade earrings feature unique Czech glass coins and sparkling Swarovski crystals - one of a kind jewelry for her.

If you are searching for a stylish pair of handmade earrings that are also very eye catching, the one of a kind PINK WAVES beauties are for you! Created from gorgeous Czech glass coins and mega-sparkle Swarovski crystals, they are a perfect Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day gift to be worn all year long. The Czech glass coins used as the focals are absolutely stunning. These particular beads are a coin shape created with a combination of clear and pink glass and a dimpled, textured edge. The pink glass is in a flowing, wave-like design with many hues, from light pink to dark pink. The clear glass accentuates the pink waves perfectly. Then, as if the Czech beads needed more beauty, an earthy brown Picasso finish was applied to the beads. It was then polished off the flat faces of the coins but left in the crevasses of the textured crust edges. Since the glass beads were made in very small batches, they are similar but not exactly the same - even the fronts and backs are a bit different - as you can see in the photos.  To add maximum sparkle to the earrings and perfectly complement the Czech coins, two colors and sizes of faceted Swarovski crystals bicones were used. The larger 6 mm Swarovski crystal is a color called “light Colorado topaz,” a warm, light brown shade. Stacked above, separated by a small copper bead, is a 4 mm crystal in a color called “rose,” a perfect shade of medium pink. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind PINK WAVES earrings were created for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry that no one else has!

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

Pink Brown Ruby Earrings, Czech Glass Valentines Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "Tickled Pink" handmade earrings feature clear, pink and brown Czech glass coins and ruby red tri-cut Czech beads 

Since a loved one will be ecstatic to receive these wondrous handmade earrings, I just had to call them TICKLED PINK! The one of a kind earrings are a lovely combination of clear, pink, brown and ruby red, perfect for a Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day jewelry gift, especially if the woman receiving them loves earrings on the smaller side. Czech glass coins are the highlight of the earrings, a gorgeous combination of clear and various shades of pink, the pink glass raked in the shape of wings. The wings are so amazingly eye catching surrounded by the clear glass. The edges of the coins are very uniquely textured in an uneven “crust” edge for a rustic look. A brown Picasso finish was added to the edges and then polished off leaving more the the finish in the recessed areas to accentuate the beauty of the edges. Since these premium Czech coins are handmade, you can notice the slight differences in the beads.

The pink glass was raked in the clear glass to make a unique wing design in each Czech glass coin.

Stacked above the coins are tri-cut ruby red Czech glass round beads, also with a Picasso finish in lichen green and gray. Since there are three facets (tri-cut), the glowing ruby beads add subtle sparkle to the overall design. Small copper daisy spacers and 2 mm beads separate the ruby red beads from the pink and brown coins. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TICKLED PINK earrings are perfect for the woman who adores wearing artisan jewelry.
