Dog Cat Paw Print Earrings, Pink Black Enamel Handmade Jewelry Gift


dog lover cat paw print jewelry enamel swarovski crystals

The fun "Amico" handmade earrings features artisan enamel dog or cat paw prints and Swarovski crystal dangles on sterling chain - unique animal jewelry for women.


Meaningful handmade jewelry to show your love of your four-footed friend, the AMICO handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the dog lover / cat lover. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan enameled paw print charms with Swarovski crystals dangling on the ends of sterling silver chain. The fun, individually handmade charms are a unique half-moon shape, hanging with the curved part at the top and the 3-holed straight edge at the bottom. A high gloss, pale pink enameled background perfectly highlights the two black paw prints found on each charm. The detail of the paw prints is amazing, the larger metacarpal pad along with the four toe pads are easily seen. The back of each charm is enameled in jet black. To add flirty movement along with lots of sparkle, sterling silver chain and Swarovski crystals were attached to the three holes to the bottom edge of the charms. This sterling silver box chain has flat links which capture and reflect the light wonderfully. The middle hole of the charms has four links of the box chain while the two holes at each end have two links. A single faceted jet black Swarovski crystal bicone, capped on each end with small sterling beads, was wire wrapped to the end of each chain. To finish the dog / cat lover earrings, sterling silver French hooks with jet black Swarovski crystal adornments were used. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the AMICO earrings were created for the woman who loves her dog(s) and or cat(s) and is not scared to show it! “Amico” is Italian for “friend.”

*** Please note: when sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the AMICO paw print 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 Prints Hearts Earrings, Copper Red Aqua Handmade Jewelry


dog lover cat lover handmade jewelry

The adorable "Best Buddy" earrings feature artisan copper paw print in hearts charms with red and aqua amber faceted Czech glass beads - dog and cat lover jewelry.

If you are looking for meaningful dog or cat paw prints and hearts jewelry, look no further than these adorable BEST BUDDY earrings! A perfect jewelry gift for the dog and cat lover, the one of a kind earrings were created with copper paw print on heart charms and two colors of faceted Czech glass rondelles. The oh-so-fun copper square-shaped charms were individually artisan made from beginning to end with pure copper. The design is a raised paw print in a recessed heart. The area around the hearts is also raised, adding wonderful texture. To add a rustic look, the charms were given a dark patina, polished to bring out the detail and then sealed. Since the dog and cat lover charms were individually artisan created, as you can see in the photos, they are very similar but not exactly the same.  To add a rich look and a pop of color to the overall earrings design, two colors and sizes of faceted Czech glass rondelles were used: red beads and aqua / amber beads. Since they are both faceted, subtle sparkle is added to the design. In addition, the bright scarlet red glass rondelles have an unexpected coppery gold Picasso finish at the top and bottom of the beads, adding even more charm. A glowing, translucent aqua and amber Czech glass rondelle sits above each red bead.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BEST BUDDY earrings were created for the woman who loves unique artisan jewelry and loves her dog(s) and / or cat(s), especially if the four footed buddies are rescues.

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

Black Cat Moon Halloween Earrings, Abalone Crystals Handmade Jewelry

 

vintage look handmade black cat halloween earrings abalone shell

The "Black Cats Under Full Moons" handmade earrings feature artisan black cat copper dangles, abalone shell coins and Swarovski crystals - unique Halloween jewelry for women.


If you are looking for a fun pair of black cat Halloween earrings, look no farther than these jewelry beauties! The one of a kind BLACK CATS UNDER FULL MOONS handmade earrings with a vintage feel feature artisan made black cat copper dangles, glowing abalone shell (to represent a full moon) and sparkling Swarovski crystals. The eye catching black cat dangles look as if they were upcycled from old cookie or tea tins, but they were individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. To add even more of a rustic look, the edges of the charms were purposefully left with file marks, but, rest assured, the edges are silky smooth. A black cat with an arched back is found on each charm, a mirror image of each other. The Halloween cats are highlighted by a shaded creamy yellow “halo” against a rich dark blue sky. The yellow eyes of the cat are easily seen against the jet black of the hair.  Since the dangles were individually handmade, there are slight differences which add wonderful antique vibes.  Because the cat charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  Each black cat is under a “moon,” represented by iridescent, color shifting abalone shell coins. Abalone is a type of sea snail that has been prized through centuries for its meat and for its glowing shell composed of nacre (mother of pearl). As you can see in the photos, the colors of the abalone shell range from a pale ivory color though pale pinks, blue and lavenders, all very muted but beautiful. Both shell coins have natural lines running through them, adding even more interest. The coins are two sided but the side that matches the cats better were wire wrapped tightly and glued to stay in front. To represent a star above each abalone moon, a faceted color-shifting “crystal paradise shine” Swarovski crystal bicone was used. The crystals have a multicolor metallic coating that radiates pale shades of purple, blue and green as the angle of the light shifts. A perfect complement! Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BLACK CATS UNDER FULL MOONS were created for the woman who adores unique, one of a kind Halloween jewelry, especially earrings with black cats!

The unique earrings feature shiny rhodium over pewter sitting cat charms with a solid face and a cut out center of the body.

To keep the earrings design simple, letting the cat charms take most of the credit, two faceted 4 mm Swarovski crystals in shades of brown were stacked above the kitties. The darker color is called “smoked topaz” and the lighter brown is called “light Colorado topaz.” The crystals might be small but they add a tremendous amount of eye catching sparkle! A single 2 mm sterling silver bead separates the two crystals. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the HERE KITTY earrings created for the woman who loves to wear cat jewelry.
