Pink Sugar Skull Earrings, Day of the Dead Halloween Handmade Jewelry

The fun PINK SUGAR SKULLS handmade earrings feature pink Czech glass skulls and fuchsia pink Austrian crystals - unique Day of the Dead and Halloween jewelry for women.

The one of a kind PINK SUGAR SKULLS earrings are full of spectacular spooky fun, perfect for Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) festivities, Halloween parties . . . or for any time of the year you feel the need to wear trendy skull jewelry! The radiant earrings feature two-sided pink Czech glass skull beads and fuchsia Austrian crystals. The unique skull beads were created with a base of translucent light pink glass. A charming sugar skull design was impressed into the glass on both sides of the beads. To add an aged look the pink glass was given a shimmering matte, sea glass tumbled look with some “crackles” and “pits” (that don't disturb the integrity of the glass). A metallic pink Picasso finish was applied to bring out the details of the faces of the skulls. It settled into the recesses, highlighting the amazing floral eyes, an inverted heart shaped nose, the grinning mouth and any other recessed areas of the skull beads. Since the sugar skulls are two sided, the earrings look beautiful from any angle when worn. All sugar skulls need a bit of sparkle so faceted fuchsia pink Austrian crystals were used. Resembling a crown, just above the sugar skulls are glittering fuchsia Austrian crystals set in silver plated rondelles. To add even more exquisite sparkle, a faceted Austrian crystal bicone, also in fuchsia pink, is snuggled into the top of each rondelle. Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the earrings. The PINK SUGAR SKULLS earrings were carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for the woman who wants to add ghoulishly fun jewelry to add to her unique skull jewelry collection.

Wild Woman Earrings, Ceramic Lampwork Crystals Handmade Jewelry Gift

The WILD WOMAN handmade earrings feature artisan ceramic drops, artisan lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for women.

Let them know exactly how you feel whenever you wear these absolutely fun, one of a kind WILD WOMAN handmade earrings! Perfect for the woman who is ready to tackle the world and loves smile-inducing, boho chic jewelry, the lightweight earrings were created with artisan ceramic drops with am etched wild woman stick figure, artisan lampwork glass nugget beads, leaf-style pewter bead caps, glittering Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The hand carved ceramic shield drops have a wonderful rustic look. A fierce wild woman with raised arms, wide eyes and upright hair was etched into beige clay. Dots are found along the edge of each dangle. The etched areas were carefully painted with a dark brown paint to bring out the design and then fired in a kiln at high heat for strength and durability. The backside of the dangles was given a very light wash of brown. Since the dangles were individually handmade, they are very similar but not exactly the same.  Complementing the wild woman dangles brilliantly are artisan lampwork glass bead nuggets and sparkling Swarovski crystals. The lampwork beads were created with a lilac plum glass with a bit of beige. Fine silver raised dots were added around the middle for extra eye appeal. The lampwork beads are nuggets so they are not completely round. Capping the top of each nugget is a pewter bead cap with a leaf design. Above each bead cap is a mega-sparkle faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a color called “lilac shadow,” a combination of lilac and clear crystal with a light gold coating. Sterling silver French hook earwires with an added lilac shadow crystal for extra sparkle finishes the fun earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the WILD WOMAN earrings are a wonderful gift for the woman who loves unique jewelry, loves life and has more than a bit of a free spirit wild woman in her.

The fun ceramic drops were individually artisan handmade with a hand carved and hand painted wild woman design.

Hot, hot, hot in all their flaming red orange beauty, the unique WILDFIRE handmade spike earrings are extremely trendy and fun to wear often! Jewelry with a rustic boho vibe, the one of a kind earrings feature artisan made ceramic spikes, premium Czech glass roller beads, copper and sterling silver.

Long and dangly, the one of a kind earrings feature Gustav Klimt inspired red poppy garden polymer clay dangles and amber resin Tibetan beads.

The back side is finished in mixed metallic pigments with the artist’s mark. As you can see, the dangles are different but similar in design. Since the dangles are made from polymer clay, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  Stacked above the red poppy dangles, perfectly highlighting them, are Tibetan resin beads and glowing orange Czech glass beads. Handmade by artisans in Nepal in the traditional manner of mixing resin with amber dust, the vintage-look Tibetan beads are a rich honey amber color that are somewhat translucent. Adding even more eye interest, the resin beads are inlaid around the middle with dotted brass wire. Stacked above each Tibetan bead, separated by a copper disc spacer, is a single translucent orange Czech glass bead with a light metallic finish that glows beautifully when the earrings are worn.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the RED POPPIES handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves art jewelry, especially those inspired by the flower garden paintings of Gustav Klimt.

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.

Eye-catching natural gray and white banding run through the teardrops, a bit different on each side, causing a landscape pattern effect. The top and bottom of each teardrop is capped with small sterling silver daisy spacers.  To perfectly complement the colors of the rhodochrosite, two gray button pearls (flat on one side) were stacked above the teardrops. The pearls have a glorious, color-shifting peacock effect depending on the angle of the light. A single sterling silver bead caps the top of the pearl stack.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique INCAN ROSE gemstone earrings were created for the woman who loves one of a kind artisan jewelry with a fascinating story.

The stunning pink rhodochrosite teardrops have natural gray and white lines running through it, creating a landscape look.

Boho Birds Earrings, Colorful Enamel Peridot Crystals Handmade Jewelry

The fun "Sweet Tweets" boho earrings feature colorful enamel birds on a wire dangles with sterling chain and Swarovski crystals - unique bird jewelry for women.

Jewelry filled with vivid boho vibes, the colorful SWEET TWEETS handmade earrings will positively cheer you up every time you put the beauties on! Perfect for a woman who loves birds / is a birder, the lightweight, one of a kind earrings feature artisan made enameled charms, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The colorful bird charms were individually handmade, starting out as copper blanks in a half moon shape. White enamel glass powder was fused onto the blanks using a high temperature butane torch. Looking like dabs of watercolor, more glass powder was fused to the white background: red, orange, yellow, light green, blue and violet. Then, using a pattern, four black bird silhouettes sitting on a wire were added. Two birds are sitting and two are standing on the wire. As you can see in the photos, the bird design is a mirror image. The backside of each bird charm was fused with black glass powders for a professional finish. To give the colorful bird earrings great movement and sparkle at each turn of the head, thirteen links of a patterned sterling silver chain were used on each charm, connected to them with two sterling silver jump rings on each end for durability. Wire wrapped to the middle link of each chain is a mega-glitter faceted Swarovski crystal bicone. The color is called “peridot,” a soft, peaceful light green color, a perfect complement to the colors on the charms. A pair of sterling silver French hook earwires with an additional peridot green crystal on each adds even more glitter, finishing the unique earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind SWEET TWEETS earrings were created for the woman who adores colorful artisan boho jewelry and loves our fine feathered bird friends.

The bird charms were individually artisan hand, fused enamel glass powder on a copper half moon blank.

• Enamel bird charms: app. 35 mm x 16 mm at widest (1.4” x 0.63”); artisan handmade by Pearly Karpel

Aqua Brass Gold White Earrings, Painted Rustic Copper Handmade Jewelry

 

The "Magnifique" handmade earrings feature gorgeous artisan hand painted brass diamonds and unique Czech glass beads - lightweight jewelry for women.

What a stylish and lightweight pair of earrings to wear! The one of a kind MAGNIFIQUE handmade earrings will definitely become your “go to” jewelry for spring and summer . . . and all the rest of the year. Created with artisan made, hand painted brass diamonds, sparkling Czech glass beads, copper and sterling silver, they are fun and flirty with a vintage look to them. The brass diamonds were hand cut, the edges filed to a silky smoothness and given a slight wavy ridged texture. Hand painted on both sides in a combination of aqua, gold and white, they look somewhat like a piece of modern splash art in the style of Jackson Pollock. To add a fantastic rustic look, the diamonds were very lightly sanded to let a bit of the brass show along the ridges. They were then sealed for many years of wearing joy. Because the diamonds are painted on both sides, the earrings look fabulous from any angle.  To perfectly complement the painted diamond dangles, eye catching Czech glass beads, made in the Czech Republic, were added above. The beads were created from clear glass and then coated with a metallic Picasso finish. The finish flashes a whole range of colors from aqua to green to golden with bits of blue and orange thrown in when the light hits them just right. The square beads are long faceted, creating v-shapes that allow the clear glass to show through for a unique 3-D effect. The photos don’t do justice to their beauty at all. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MAGNIFIQUE, the well named earrings were created for the woman who loves unique artisan earrings that are eye-catching and lightweight to wear. “Magnifique” is French for “magnificent.”

The brass diamonds were hand textured and hand painted with aqua, gold and white.

Here's the important information for the MAGNIFIQUE handmade earrings:

• Hand painted brass diamonds: app. 26 mm x 26 mm x 1.5 mm (1” x 1”); artisan handmade by Sharyl of Metapolies

It settled into the center of each flower and on the edges, each side being just a bit different. The flowers are capped on the top and bottom with a set of two tiny sterling silver disc spacers. Since the glass pansies are two-sided, the earrings look fabulous from any angle.

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.
