Spiral Seashell Ceramic Earrings, Green Pink Purple Handmade Jewelry


ceramic spiral jewelry in green pink purple

The "Spiraling Away" handmade earrings were created with artisan ceramic spiral seashell drops, magenta pink roller beads and Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for women.


Spirals are some of the oldest geometric shapes found in ancient artwork the world over. They date back to at least the Neolithic period, thousands of years before writing. Spirals are also found in nature, such as on seashells as the unique SPIRALING AWAY earrings represent. The one of a kind beauties were created with artisan ceramic seashell dangles with a spiral on each, premium magenta pink and silver Czech glass roller beads, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The spiral drops were individually artisan hand formed with earthstone ceramic, and then kiln fired at high heat with a gloss glaze and bronze clay. A spiral seashell decal was applied and the drops were fired again with lustre. The back was scorched to a shimmery rainbow finish. As you can see, the purple / fuchsia spirals are very colorful against a green and pale lime green background. One spiral curves on way; one spirals the other way, almost a mirror image. Since the spiral drops were individually artisan created, they are very similar in design, but not exactly the same - something that is wonderful about handmade items!  To perfectly complement the gorgeous fuschia and purple in the spirals, Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals were used. The premium roller beads are an eye catching magenta pink and clear glass mix. The center has a silver metallic finish which adds great depth to the beads. Since the roller beads are faceted, they add subtle sparkle to the design. Stacked on top of each roller bead, separated by a sterling silver daisy spacer, are super sparkly 6mm Swarovski crystals in a rich “amethyst” purple color. A 4 mm amethyst Swarovski crystals was added to the sterling silver French hook earwires for additional sparkle. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SPIRALING AWAY earrings were created for the woman who loves the meaning of spirals and enjoys wearing artisan created jewelry.

Daisy Flowers and Hearts Earrings, Copper Purple Fuchsia Handmade Jewelry


daisy flower and hearts earrings gift for women



The BONJOUR handmade earrings will make you smile and want to say “Hello” to the warmer days of spring and summer each and every time you wear them. Beautiful one of a kind floral earrings, they were created from copper daisy flower charms, artisan spotted purple and fuchsia lampwork beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals. The oh-so-pretty flower charms were individually artisan created from pure copper. The design is a sweet daisy in a heart, the flower raised to provide wonderful texture to the charms. Torched at high heat to give a pleasing patina, the charms were then polished to bring out the detail and sealed. The daisies have a beautiful copper glow that the photos don’t do justice to. Since the flower and heart charms were individually created, you can see that there are slight differences in each charm - guaranteed handmade! The back of the charms are fairly smooth.

Stacked above each daisy heart charms is a speckled lampwork glass beads and two colors of Swarovski crystals. The lampwork beads, which were individually artisan handmade, started out as clear glass. When the glass was still in its molten stage, plum purple and fuschia pink frit was applied to add fun color and darker fuchsia spots. These translucent beads absolutely glow when the earrings are worn! Copper bicone beads were nestled into the top and bottom of each lampie. Perfectly matching the colors of the lampwork beads and to add nega sparkle, two colors of faceted Swarovski crystal bicones were used: amethyst purple and fuchsia. A single 2 mm copper bead separates the two crystals. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BONJOUR handmade earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear cheerful artisan jewelry! “Bonjour” is French for “hello.”
