The unique "Bonheur" earrings feature artisan handmade spotted enamel dangles, Swarovski pearls, Czech glass and Swarovski crystals - fun jewelry for women.
Filled with a wondrous rustic beauty, the BONHEUR earrings will quickly become a handmade jewelry favorite. The one of a kind earrings feature two-sided artisan enamel dangles, purple Swarovski crystal pearls, Czech glass and Swarovski crystals. The eye catching, individually made dangles started out as copper squares which were torch enameled at high heat with white. While the white glass enamel was still hot, a glass frit of mostly purples and pinks but also with specks of brown was added to create random spotted designs on all sides. Because of the frit, the enameled dangles have an incredible raised texture which catches the light when the earrings are worn. The top bit of each square was torched black but left un-enameled for rustic beauty, a trademark of the artist who made them. Please note: because the enamel is high gloss, it was impossible to keep some glare off of the pieces when taking photos. “Bonheur” is French for “happiness.” To perfectly complement the enamel dangles, a glowing Swarovski crystal pearl in a rich medium purple was used with a sheen that is exquisite. A small sterling silver daisy spacers separates the crystal pearls from a milky translucent violet opal Czech glass bead and a "smoked topaz" Swarovski crystal bicone. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique BONHEUR earrings are a unique gift for the woman who adores one of a kind artisan jewelry.
The unique dangles were individually artisan enameled with white, purple and pink glass powder and frit.
