Frosted Capri Blue Earrings, Gogo Donuts Glass Boho Handmade Jewelry


frosted blue dangle earrings czech glass copper jewelry gift

The beautiful "Capri" earrings feature frosted capri blue gogo donut beads and capri blue and white Czech glass beads - unique boho jewelry for women.

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. The focal beads are a donut shape called “gogo” since the hole is found in the upper part of the beads instead of in the middle. The beauties were created from translucent capri blue glass with a silky frosted, sea glass finish that, as you can see in the photo, positively glows when worn. Eye catching, indeed!  To perfectly complement the earrings design, a premium Czech glass rondelle was placed above each gogo bead. The gorgeous beads, which also glow when backlit, are a mix of translucent capri blue glass and opaque white glass. A light brown Picasso finish was applied to each end of the Czech beads, perhaps to represent a sandy beach. Since the beads are faceted, they sparkle like glints of sunshine on the water.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CAPRI earrings were designed for the woman who loves glowing artisan earrings with a boho flair.

Christmas White Red Green Earrings, Holiday Lampwork Handmade Jewelry


christmas earrings gift for women

The "Frosted Christmas" handmade earrings were created with artisan frosted white lampwork glass beads, Siam red and emerald green Swarovski crystals, pewter bead caps and sterling silver


Not your ordinary holiday earrings, the one of a kind FROSTED CHRISTMAS earrings are classy and more than a bit flirty at the same time. The handmade earrings feature glowing, individually artisan made lampwork glass beads that were etched for a winter white frosted sea glass look for subtle glamor. Lead free pewter bead caps cap the top and bottom of the glowing glass beads to resemble holly. To add major Christmas sparkle, two sizes and colors of faceted Swarovski crystal bicones were used. Larger Siam red and smaller emerald green Swarovski crystals were stacked on top of the lampwork beads, separated by 2 mm sterling silver beads. Sterling silver earwires with Siam red Swarovski crystals finish the unique, festive look. Perfect and eye catching to wear to those holiday parties, the FROSTED CHRISTMAS holiday earrings were designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for the woman who adores artisan designer jewelry.

*** Please note: The Siam red Swarovski crystals in the photos look lighter in the photos. They are a rich ruby red color in real life.

Rustic Wings Boho Earrings, Turquoise Copper Mint Handmade Jewelry Gift


turquoise and copper boho earrings for women



Filled with the rich colors and ancient vibes of the Desert Southwest, the TAOS TRAILS handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who has an exuberant boho spirit. The richly colored earrings feature rustic wing dangles, artisan frosted minty green lampwork beads and coral and teal Czech glass beads. The two-sided organic wing dangles were individually artisan hand formed (in Taos) from lightweight white stoneware clay. Once they were air dried, they were hand painted with shades of turquoise; copper “stains” were added for an ancient patina feel. The pieces were kiln fired several times for strength and durability. The front has a wing design - maybe based on a dragonfly? The back is a totally different design - maybe based on beetle wings? Whatever inspired them, the dangles have such a wonderfully primitive feel to them. Since they were individually hand formed, you will notice that they are similar in design but not exactly the same, something that makes handmade so enjoyable!


unique boho jewelry for women



To perfectly complement the lighter turquoise color of the rustic wings, minty green lampwork beads were added above, capped on the top and bottom by shiny copper daisy spacers. The minty lampwork glass beads, also artisan made, were etched for a soft, frosted sea glass look that positively captures and radiates glowing goodness. Stacked above the lampwork beads are two types of Czech glass. The first, to add a pop of unexpected color, are deep coral discs with a shiny silver wash. Next are sparkling teal tri-cut Czech beads with a rustic mossy green Picasso finish, separated from the discs by a copper daisy spacer. The unique earrings are finished with sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TAOS TRAILS boho earrings were created for the woman who loves one of a kind, artisan earrings that no one else in the world has!

Wedding Bride Earrings, Frosted Lampwork Crystals Handmade Jewelry


wedding bride earrings



Just as the name implies, the STAR LIGHT handmade earrings are sparkling and magical, perfect for a bride to wear on her wedding day or when a glittering daily pick-me-up is needed! The unique dangle earrings were created with individually artisan created lampwork clear glass beads that were etched for a velvety, frosted, sea glass look, giving them a soft, pale ivory color. Adding even more interest and a fun texture to the lampwork beads, fine silver dots were applied around the middle of the beads when the glass was still molten hot, reminiscent of bright moons orbiting a frosty white planet. Capping the top and bottom of the frosted lampwork beads are shiny silver over pewter bead caps with a flower petal design - perfect for the romantic touch to the overall earring design.


frosted white lampwork bride earrings for a wedding



Stacked on top of the lampwork beads are Czech crystal rondelles that sparkle at every movement of the head. As the angle of the light changes, so does the angle of the amazing glitter of the crystals. As if the earrings needed even more shimmering goodness, nestled into the top of each rondelle is a single 4 mm faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a clear crystal color. Another clear Swarovski bicone was added to each earwire. Just imagine how these earrings will flash and glow on your ears each time they are worn! The STAR LIGHT earrings were designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for the bride who loves to wear elegant, eye catching artisan jewelry.

*** Please note:  Given enough time, sets of these earrings can be created for bridesmaids. Because of the handmade nature of the lampwork beads, the earrings will be very similar but also a bit different with the placing of the fine silver dots and lines.

Here is the important information for the STAR LIGHT wedding earrings:

  • Frosted white lampwork glass beads with fine silver dots: app 11 mm x 7 mm; artisan handmade by Charlotte Hayes
