Rainbow Lampwork and Copper Earrings, Handmade Dangle Jewelry Gift for Women

The "Vivace" handmade earrings feature artisan copper Moroccan lace dangles, artisan rainbow lampwork glass beads and Siam red Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry gift.

Filled with a carnival of warm, vibrant colors, the one of a kind VIVACE earrings are sure to make you smile each and every time you wear them! The colorful earrings feature copper charms and rainbow lampwork glass beads, both artisan handmade, and Swarovski crystals. The beautiful copper charms were created in a diamond shape with an intricate Moroccan lace design of scallops, flowers and spirals. As you can see in the photos, the texture is absolutely mesmerizing. Since they are individually handmade, the copper charms are not exactly the same but are very similar in design. The dangles are slightly curved and have a smooth back.

One of a kind artisan copper and rainbow boho earrings.

Above each lacy copper charm is a vivid lampwork glass bead in rainbow colors. The glass beads were individually artisan made by creating rainbow stripes then encasing the stripes in clear glass for an almost three dimensional look. Stacked above each lampwork bead are three rustic copper discs and a single small copper disc spacer. For eye catching sparkle, a faceted 6 mm “Siam” red Swarovski crystal bicone was nestled into each disc spacers. Sterling silver earwires with a copper bead accent finishes the unique earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the VIVACE earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear fun, one of a kind jewelry. “Vivace” is Italian for “vibrant,” “lively” and “colorful.”

Turquoise Patina Butterfly Earrings, Boho Copper Spiral Handmade Jewelry

The unique "Turquoise Butterflies" boho earrings feature artisan handmade turquoise patina charms with copper swirls and Mykonos butterflies.

The TURQUOISE BUTTERFLIES handmade earrings feature cheerful Mykonos butterfly charms hanging in front of rich turquoise patinated copper dangles with hand formed copper swirls. Fun, boho jewelry, the one of a kind earrings will certainly be noticed each and every time you wear them! Individually artisan handmade, the copper trapezoids (the bottom is wider than the top) charms were given a rustic turquoise patina, reminiscent of the rich colors of old copper roofs in Europe and other historic buildings. The turquoise color runs from dark to light with some of the dark copper showing through. To add extra eye appeal, shiny copper spirals and swirls were added to the top of the trapezoid, a perfect color complement against the turquoise. The back of each is shiny copper with dots and splotches of patina. Since the turquoise patinated charms were individually created, they are very similar in design but not exactly the same.

Copper swirls that were individually formed grace the top of the patina charms and Mykonos butterflies add lots of movement to the earrings design.

To add whimsy and fun to the earrings, butterflies were wire wrapped to the end of a spiral. The beautiful butterfly charms were cast on the Greek island of Mykonos, created from a lead free pewter base and then covered with a layer of pure copper. The copper then was given a turquoise patina to bring out the incredible detail of the butterflies. Because of the way the charms are wire wrapped they seem to flitter at each movement of the earrings. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TURQUOISE BUTTERFLIES were created for the woman who loves unique jewelry with a definite boho flair!
