Owl Earrings, Birds Birder Faux Vintage Brown Blue Handmade Jewelry

The WISE OWLS handmade earrings feature artisan owl dangles, amber Czech glass and Swarovski crystals - unique bird jewelry for women.

Gorgeous nature inspired jewelry for the woman who loves birds, especially majestic owls, the unique WISE OWLS handmade earrings will quickly become favorites. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan created owl charms that look as if they were pulled from a book of antique bird illustrations. Faceted, translucent amber glass beads, indicolite Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver complement the owl dangles. The eye catching, square-shaped owl charms look as if they are vintage jewelry pieces. But they are faux vintage, having been individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper with a permanent metal owl transfer.  The beautiful owls, which look very similar to barn owls, are light beige and a medium cinnamon brown color with darker feather markings. The head is gazing to the left and features a whitish, heart-shaped face with a dark eye and a pale beak. The background is a somewhat mottled sky blue. Since the dangles were individually handmade, there are slight differences which adds a wonderful antique vibe.  Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  To perfectly highlight the colors in the owl charms, faceted Czech glass beads and Swarovski crystals were stacked above the dangles. The translucent Czech glass beads are a rich amber color with bits of opaque white.  Since the beads are faceted, they add subtle sparkle to the earrings design. And adding LOTS of sparkle are the faceted Swarovski crystal bicones in a rich color called “indicolite,” an indigo-blue color that mimics tourmaline gemstones.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind WISE OWLS earrings are a great gift for the woman who adores owls / birds, is perhaps a birder and loves wearing, lightweight artisan designed jewelry.

Do you love unique jewelry with ancient symbolism built right in? The ISHTAR handmade earrings are for you! The earthy, one of a kind beauties feature earthy travertine style Czech glass beads with an eight-pointed star, rich orange Czech glass beads, copper and sterling silver. The two-sided coin shaped Czech glass beads were created from orange glass with a stone like travertine finish in browns, dark gray, minty green and misty blue. While the glass was still molten, an eight-pointed star within a circle was impressed into each side. A gold Picasso finish was added to bring out the details of the star and the circle Since the Czech star beads are two sided, the earrings look wonderful from any angle. *** This particular star is a symbol of the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna which was later worshipped by the Babylonians, Assyrians and others under the name Ishtar, the Queen of Heaven. She was the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, war, justice, and political power. Because Ishtar was associated with the planet Venus, the star is also known as the Star of Venus.  To add a rich copper glow, intricate filigree flower petal bead caps were placed on the top and bottom of the star beads. Since all stars need sparkle and to perfectly complement the orange travertine look of the beads, a single faceted Swarovski crystal bicone bead, in an eye catching color called “Indian red,” caps each star bead.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind ISHTAR earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves to wear artisan created jewelry with ancient symbolism.

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.

Heart Flowers Earrings, Valentines Purple Red Copper Handmade Jewelry

The "Bei Cuori" handmade earrings feature artisan hand painted hearts and flowers copper dangles and glowing Czech glass druk beads - unique jewelry for women.

Beautiful for your sweetheart at any time of the year, these handmade BEI CUORI hearts and flowers earrings are a perfect gift for Valentines Day and Mother’s Day, especially for a woman who loves to grow flowers. The one of a kind earrings feature colorful artisan created copper dangles along with glowing etched Czech glass beads. The oh-so-pretty hearts and flower charms were artisan made from beginning to end from pure copper. The design is a partial daisy design in a heart, the flower raised to provide wonderful texture to the charms. To highlight the flowers, the charms were individually hand painted: a rich red for the floral disc and violet purple for the petals. To protect them for years of wearing pleasure, the charms were coated with a glass like resin finish. 
Exquisitely complementing the colors of the hearts and flowers charms are etched Czech glass druk beads. The beads started out with a clear glass base, were etched for a rustic vibe and then partly coated with a dramatic metallic raspberry pink finish and / or a color shifting aurora borealis finish. The druk beads on the bottom have an aurora finish on about ⅓ of the beads, shifting in color from golden to blue to green and several others depending on the angle of the light. The upper beads have the metallic raspberry finish which has a mystic red to orange shift. Since the finishes are only on ⅓ of the beads, the earrings are constantly changing as the beads rotate. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the beautiful earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BEI CUORI hearts and flowers earrings will be a cherished jewelry gift for the woman who adores wearing one of a kind, artisan designed jewelry. “Bei cuori” is Italian for “beautiful hearts.”

Pumice Lava Rock Necklace, Wood Turquoise Magnesite Handmade Jewelry

The "Sueños de la Tierra" handmade necklace features creamy pumice lava rock tubes, wooden beads and turquoise magnesite - unique jewelry gift for women.

The unique SUEÑOS DE LA TIERRA handmade necklace has such a beautifully neutral color scheme that you will be able to wear it with a wide range of outfits - pale colors of the desert with bits of blue representing the sky. The one of a kind necklace features creamy white “lava” rock pumice tubes, earthy wooden beads and turquoise magnesite discs along with a liberal sprinkling of copper. Since real lava rock only comes in black and brown, the lovely tubes used in the necklace is actually pumice, another type of volcanic stone.  Lava rock is a trade name for both. Pumice is created when super heated rock is ejected from a volcanic eruption and, due to rapid cooling once the rock hits the air, small gas bubbles are trapped. As you can see in the photos, the pumice tubes are filled with tiny holes, which also makes the stones very light in weight. Pumice can be quite rough on the skin, but these tubes have been ground to a silky smoothness so there are no worries about irritation when the necklace is worn. Thirteen creamy white pumice tubes were used, all with a copper daisy spacer at each side to separate them from the rest of the beads.  A pale brown wooden bead and a bright blue turquoise magnesite disc is found between each pumice tube. The wooden beads add an earthiness to the necklace design, especially since many have natural stripes. The permanently dyed turquoise magnesite discs add a pop of unexpected, fun color to the design. The back of the necklace is finished with three wooden beads and three turquoise magnesite discs interspersed with copper beads and spacers. A pure copper hook clasp set with a raised dot design securely fastens the necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SUEÑOS DE LA TIERRA necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who loves unique, one of a kind artisan jewelry that can be worn with a wide range of outfits. “Sueños de la tierra" is Spanish for “dreams of the earth.”

Beautiful creamy white pumice stone tubes filled with tiny air holes are the highlights of the unique necklace.

Here's the important information for the SUEÑOS DE LA TIERRA handmade necklace:

• Pumice tubes: app. 12 mm x 12 mm (0.47” x 0.47”)
• Wooden beads: app. 8 mm 6 mm
• Turquoise magnesite discs: app. 6 mm x 3 mm
• Metal: copper

The rondelles also have a metallic gold Picasso finish, this time on each end of the beads. The bracelet is securely finished with a copper toggle clasp set.

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 Earrings, Peeps Sandpipers Ivory Copper Handmade Birder Jewelry

The fun "Peeps" handmade earrings feature Czech glass bird coins, copper bicones and sterling earwires - bird lover jewelry for women.

Unique for the woman who likes small but fun, eye-catching jewelry, the PEEPS handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the birder in your life or for the woman who just loves the beauty of birds, especially sandpipers, also called peeps. The one of a kind earrings feature Czech glass coin shaped beads with an imprinted bird, copper bicones and sterling silver earwires. The sweet coins were created in the Czech Republic from ivory glass that is slightly translucent. A walking bird design, somewhat reminiscent of sandpipers (peeps) as they scurry along the beach, was pressed into both sides of the coins. Then, to bring out the details of the peeps and to add a rustic look, the beads were covered with a metallic bronze Picasso finish. They were then polished, leaving the bronze finish in the recessed areas and other tiny crannies. As you can see in the photos, the birds on both sides are very similar but also different. Since the bird beads are two-sided, they look fabulous from any angle.  A simple design was chosen to compliment the sandpiper bird coins. Three copper bicones were stacked above the coins while a single copper bicone is found below. The elements for each earrings was wire wrapped with a copper head pin and then connected to sterling silver French hook earwires. A copper bicone was added to each earwire for added beauty. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the fun PEEPS earrings are a perfect gift for the bird lover who adores wearing one of a kind artisan jewelry.
