Cat Kitty Face Earrings, Tan Ceramic Lampwork Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "Sweet Kitty" handmade earrings feature artisan ceramic cat face dangles, artisan spotted lampwork beads and Swarovski crystals - perfect jewelry for a cat lover.

If you are a cat lover, or know someone who is, these SWEET KITTY earrings are a perfect jewelry gift! The one of a kind beauties features artisan made ceramic cat face discs, artisan lampwork glass beads and copper. The ceramic discs were individually handmade from white ceramic clay and kiln fired twice for strength and durability. The design is so very whimsical: a textured, raised kitty cat face. As you can see in the photos, the details of the cat face are amazing with eyes, nose, a smiling mouth, ears and whiskers. The high shine glaze (hard to photograph because of reflections) is a lovely medium tan color. The back of the discs are also glazed in tan. Because the discs were individually created, they are very similar but not exactly the same. The earrings are lightweight to wear.  Artisan lampwork beads were added above the cat face discs to perfectly complement them. The lampwork beads were made from black glass with brown frit to create spots and dots across the beads. With a silky matte finish, they are a lovely counterpoint to the tan glaze of the cat discs. A 2 mm copper bead was nestled into the top of each spotted lampwork bead. To add sparkle to the earrings design, a faceted jet black Swarovski crystal bicone as added. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SWEET KITTY earrings are a wonderful gift for the cat lover who loves meaningful, one of a kind artisan jewelry.

*** Please note: when sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the SWEET KITTY cat rescue earrings will be donated to an animal rescue organization to help care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

Dog Cat Paw Print Earrings, Pink Czech Glass Crystal Handmade Jewelry

The "Pink Paw Prints" handmade earrings feature dusty pink Czech glass paw print beads and Swarovski crystals - perfect gift for an animal lover.

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

The meaningful PINK PAW PRINTS handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift idea for the woman who adores cats and dogs. The earrings feature sweet Czech glass paw print shaped beads, sparkling Swarovski crystals and copper. The glass beads, made in the Czech Republic, started out as dusty pink molten glass. While still in a semi-melted state, a dog / cat paw print design was pressed into the glass on both sides creating a wonderful recessed texture. To bring out the details and to add a vintage look to the pad and the four toes, each footprint was coated with a bronze Picasso finish. The finish was then polished off the face of the beads, leaving the bronze mainly in the recessed areas and on the sides - each bead a bit different from the others. Since the dusty pink paw print beads are two sided, the earrings look beautiful from any angle.  To add a huge dose of sparkle to the earrings design, a single 6 mm faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was stacked on top of the paw print beads, separated by a copper daisy spacer. The color of the Swarovskis is called “rose peach,” a perfect color to highlight the dusty pink of the paw prints. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PINK PAW PRINTS earrings were created for the dog and cat lover and are a meaningful jewelry gift.

The Czech beads were created from dusty rose glass with a recessed paw print design on both sides.

Here is the important information for the PINK PAW PRINTS handmade earrings:

• Dog or cat Czech glass paw print beads:  app. 14 mm (0.55”) x 14 mm (at widest) x 5 mm
• Swarovski crystals:  faceted 6 mm “rose peach” bicone
• Metal:  copper and sterling silver
• Earwires:  sterling silver French hooks w/ copper bead accents
• Length:  app. 1.5” / 3.8 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Frida Kahlo Earrings, Monkey Cat Boho Crystals Handmade Jewelry

The "Frida" handmade earrings feature artisan created Frida Kahlo dangles from copper and Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for her.

Frida Kahlo was a vibrant Mexican artist and is beloved the world over. If you are a fan of her life and work, you will absolutely love the appropriately named FRIDA dangle earrings! The boho earrings feature faux vintage copper Frida dangles and two sizes of sparkling, richly-colored Swarovski crystals. The unique, artisan made Kahlo charms look as if they were cut from old cookie or tea tins. But they only mimic rustic vintage tins since they were individually artisan hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was applied and then sealed. The picture of Frida is an iconic self portrait painted in 1940 - the earrings are a mirror image of the original. A black cat sits on her left shoulder, her pet monkey sits on her right, two white butterflies are in her hair and she is wearing a symbolic thorn necklace. Since the dangles were individually handmade, there are slight differences which add wonderful rustic vibes. The back of the dangles is smooth, shiny copper which will gradually gain a patina over time. Since the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  Because the Frida Kahlo charms are gorgeous in their own right, simple complements were all that was needed to complete the earrings. Sparkling Swarovski crystals in two sizes were chosen in a color called “graphite,” a bluish gray-black tone full of deep, shadowy sparkle. Sterling silver earwires with copper bead accents finish the design beautifully. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FRIDA earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who adores the magical realist art and intriguing life of the famous artist.

The copper "Frida" dangles are a mirror image of a famous 1940 self portrait with a cat on one shoulder and a monkey on the other.

Here's the important information for the FRIDA earrings:

• Frida Kahlo charms: app. 25 mm x 20 mm (at widest) x 1.5 mm; artisan handmade by Helena Benkoczka
• Swarovski crystals: faceted 6 mm and 4 mm “graphite” bicones
• Metal: copper and sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accents
• Length: app. 2.25” / 5.7 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Cat Necklace, Orange Kitty Agate Turquoise Handmade Jewelry Gift Women

The "Wise Kitty" handmade necklace features an artisan cat pendant, agate, turquoise and copper - unique jewelry for women.

The one of a kind, artisan created cat pendant used as the focal of the WISE KITTY handmade necklace is such a cheerful representation of a thoughtful-looking, lovable tabby cat you have to smile when you look at it! Two shapes of natural agate gemstones, genuine turquoise heishe and glowing copper all come together to perfectly highlight the unique cat pendant. The rounded, somewhat triangular-shaped pendant is lightweight but durable, created with a base of white polymer clay. A flowing, stylistic cat design was hand carved into the clay which was then painted in cayenne red ochre and turquoise acrylic glazes with several dashes of gold ochre. For a soft sheen, a thin coat of crystal fixative was applied. The back is also painted with the pigments and features the artist’s mark, a raised spiraling “P.” A copper grommet was added at the top for easy connection to the main body of a necklace.

Two shapes of natural agate and beautiful turquoise heishe complement the artisan cat pendant perfectly.

Natural agate and real turquoise complement the kitty cat pendant beautifully. Two shapes of agate is used: a rounded rectangular shape and hand cut cubes. The colors of the agates range from almost clear to deep orange, some translucent and some opaque - often both on the same gemstone. Both have a high gloss finish that catches and reflects the light. Since the agate cubes were hand cut, they are a bit more rustic in feel, not all exactly the same shape and size, although very similar. Rich turquoise heishe separates each grouping of agate, adding pops of lovely blue/green color to the necklace design. Small copper beads separate each gemstone, adding their own gorgeous glow. A copper toggle clasp set finishes the necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the WISE KITTY handmade necklace was created for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry and adores cats.

*** Please note: Since this necklace is part of my dog / cat rescue jewelry line, when sold one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the WISE KITTY necklace will be donated to an animal rescue group to care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.
