Greek Cross Earrings, Swarovski Crystal Rose Gold Handmade Jewelry Gift


swarovski crystal greek cross earrings

The "Amor de Dios" handmade earrings feature Swarovski crystal Greek crosses and sterling silver - beautiful cross jewelry for women.

Strikingly simple and extremely elegant in design, the AMOR DE DIOS handmade Swarovski crystal earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves to wear beautiful cross jewelry that is on the smaller side. An ancient cross symbol that has its roots in many cultures, the faceted crystals are called a Greek cross since the four arms are of equal length and flared at the ends. Thicker in the middle than on the edges, the faceted cut of the crosses is high precision with a four-pointed star or cross design in the middle. For superb shine, the crystals were coated in a highly reflective metallic finish called “crystal rose gold.” Because of the highly reflective nature of the finish and the faceting, you can see from the photos that the crosses look different as the angle of the light changes. Since the faceting and the metallic finish are on both sides of the crosses, the earrings look fabulous from any angle.  Since the beautiful crosses are extremely dazzling in their simplicity, the total earring design was also kept purposefully uncomplicated. So that the crosses would sway at every movement when worn, to produce the eye-catching sparkle that Swarovski is world famous for, two sterling silver rings, one larger and one smaller, connect the crystals to sterling French hook earwires. Just imagine wearing these beauties as they glitter and shine! Carefully designed by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the AMOR DE DIOS crystal earrings were created for the woman who adores wearing unique cross jewelry. “Amor de Dios” is Spanish for “God’s love.”

Cross Earrings, Copper Lampwork Spirals Christian Handmade Jewelry


christian cross rustic earrings with lampwork

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.
