Blue Brown Red Bracelet, Sodalite Gemstone Czech Glass Handmade Jewelry


handmade blue sodalite gemstone czech glass bracelet

The earthy "Bontà" handmade bracelet features a color block design with faceted blue sodalite gemstones and two colors of faceted Czech glass rondelles - unique jewelry for women.

Beautiful in all it’s earthy goodness, the BONTÀ handmade bracelet will quickly become favorite jewelry for your wrist. The eye catching, color block bracelet features gorgeous faceted blue sodalite gemstones and faceted Czech glass beads in creamy brown and bright red. Sodalite, a gemstone that was sacred to many ancient indigenous people in Peru, Bolivia and other countries, is normally varying shades of royal blue with natural white veining. As you can see in the photos, the blue ranges from very dark to a pale light blue. Most of the sodalite stones have various amounts of veining, some just a few streaks while some have large white patches. The sodalite is grouped in two sets of three and one set of five, each gemstone separated by a small sterling silver bead. Since the sodalite is faceted, the gemstones sparkle as the bracelet is moved.  To add an earthy look, brown Czech glass rondelles were added into the mix. The glass is an opaque creamy tan with a Picasso finish of dark toffee brown with bits of greenish blue on the ends. The middle of the beads are faceted for subtle sparkle. There is a grouping of three of these rondelles in addition to a single. To add a pop of bright red color to the bracelet design, scarlet red Czech glass rondelles were scattered through the bracelet: three singles and one set of three. The center of the scarlet red beads are faceted for glitter and the ends have a metallic copper Picasso finish. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BONTÀ bracelet was created for the woman who loves wearing one of a kind, artisan jewelry. “Bontà” is Italian for “goodness.”

Sun Symbol Necklace, Southwest Petroglyph Gemstones Handmade Jewelry


sun symbol pendant and leopardskin jasper gemstone handmade jewelry

The beautiful "Halo Sun" handmade necklace features a petroglyph inspired sun pendant, leopardskin jasper, shell and copper - unique Southwest jewelry for women.


Filled with the rich, earthy colors of the Desert Southwest, the one of a kind HALO SUN necklace is a perfect handmade jewelry gift for the woman who loves the symbolism of Native American petroglyphs. The beautiful necklace features an artisan polymer clay sun symbol pendant, leopardskin jasper gemstones, shell heishe and copper. The pendant was created from white polymer clay. A concentric circle halo sun symbol design was inscribed free hand into the polymer clay then hand painted with earthy pigments reminiscent of the sandstone and sage of the desert. The backside of the pendant is also inscribed with a petroglyph looking design, including the maker’s mark, a spiraling P. A coating of clear polymer clay sealer was applied to protect the pendant and keep it vibrant for many years of wearing pleasure. Three heavy gauge copper jump rings securely fasten the unique wire bail of the pendant to the main body of the necklace.

To perfectly highlight the colors of the sun pendant, gorgeous leopardskin jasper and shell heishe was used. Also sometimes referred to as jaguar stone, leopardskin jasper is known for its earthy colors and distinct potter and swirly patterns. As you can see in the photos, the colors range from a dark reddish brown pinks, peaches and a pale beige. Each stone is distinct in its pattern. Between each grouping of three leopardskin jasper rounds, each separated by small copper beads, is found three thin heishe shell discs in a pale peachy color, also separated from the jasper by copper beads. A copper hook clasp set finishes the meaningful necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the HALO SUN petroglyph inspired necklace is a lovely gift for the woman who is captivated by the magic and beauty of the symbols.

Silver Leaf Jasper Gemstone Bracelet, Red Coral Handmade Jewelry Gift


handmade silver leaf jasper red coral bracelet gift for women

The one of a kind "Mystique" handmade bracelet is created with silver leaf jasper gemstones, red coral and sterling silver - unique jewelry gift for women.


MYSTIQUE is definitely a perfect name for this exquisite handmade bracelet - just look at the alluring gemstones used to create it! A beauty you will want to wear again and again, the one of a kind bracelet features silver leaf jasper rounded rectangles, red coral nuggets and sterling silver. Not a common gemstone, silver leaf jasper is prized for its earthy swirls and bandings of ivory, tan, grays and blacks with a bit of reddish orange thrown in here and there. Look closely at the photos and you’ll see that some of the gemstones have what looks like a natural landscape or river design. Seven silver leaf rectangles make up the main body of the bracelet, each piece a one of a kind masterpiece.

To add pops of color to the bracelet, hand cut red coral nuggets are found between each rectangle, separated by small glowing sterling silver beads. The coral is mostly round, but since they’re hand cut nuggets, they’re similar but aren’t exactly the same in shape and size. Two pieces of red coral, again separated by a small sterling bead, are found at each end of the bracelet. A sleek sterling silver toggle clasp set securely fastens the bracelet when it’s worn. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique MYSTIQUE bracelet was created for the woman who adores wearing gemstone jewelry, especially a piece that is perfect to wear on its own or stacked with other much-loved bracelets.

Bronze Spiral Sun Necklace, Honey Onyx Gemstone Handmade Jewelry Gift


spiral sun bronze pendant and striped honey onyx gemstone necklace

The "Summer Daze" handmade necklace features an artisan created bronze spiral sun pendant, honey onyx gemstones and copper - unique summer jewelry for women.


The SUMMER DAZE pendant necklace is filled with the beauty and wonder of ancient symbolism, perfect handmade jewelry to wear on those hot summer days. The one of a kind necklace features a glowing artisan created bronze spiral sun pendant, unique honey onyx gemstones and copper.  Often found in the Anasazi people’s petroglyphs, a spiral sun is a symbol of healing and the natural rhythms of life, death and rebirth.  Artisan crafted from pure glowing bronze, the round pendant has a spiral sun design, the spiral in the center of the sun with rays emanating from it. The design is raised off the background lending the pendant a wonderful tactile texture. Slightly domed in shape, the pendant has a smooth back. To perfectly complement the glorious bronze color of the pendant and to add even more summery goodness, natural honey onyx gemstones and copper make up the main body of the necklace. Honey onyx is a unique stone, prized for centuries due to its exotic look and translucent qualities. As its name suggests, the gemstones are a lovely pale honey color with a slight greenish tinge. Stripes and swirling clouds of mellow orange and darker brown can be found in some of the rounds.  Most of the gemstones are beautifully translucent, which can be seen when the necklace is held up to the light. Copper bicones and disc spacers were used to add groupings to the design, between every five honey onyx rounds. A copper hook clasp set securely fastens the necklace when worn. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SUMMER DAZE necklace was created for the woman who loves wearing fun jewelry with an ancient, mystical feel.

earthy spotted leopardite gemstone teardrop earrings with copper

The unique "Macchiata" handmade earrings feature leopardite gemstone teardrop earrings and copper - earthy jewelry gift for women.


If you're looking for wonderfully organic gemstone earrings to go a little wild in, then the MACCHIATA teardrop earrings are perfect for you! Earthy jewelry that you will reach for over and over again, the earrings were created with spotted leopardite jasper, copper and sterling silver. Mined in Peru, leopardite jasper (also sometimes called safari jasper) has leopard-like spots and swirls created by iron and manganese deposits. In fact the name “jasper” is derived from Greek and means “spotted stone.” The earrings feature two amazing leopardite teardrops with a background of pale creamy beige liberally sprinkled with spots of varying sizes and shapes. The colors of the spots range from a rusty brown through taupe darker brown and black, beautifully highlighted by the pale background. As you can see in the photos, each teardrop is similar but each definitely has its own spotted personality.  

To add eye catching glow to the earrings design, small copper discs spacers cap the top and bottom of the leopardite jasper teardrops. One disc with a small copper bead is found at the bottom. A stack of two discs and a copper bicone bead is found at the top. All the elements used to create the earrings were strung on handmade copper head pins with hand hammered loops at the end. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MACCHIATA leopardite teardrop earrings were created for the woman who loves fun, earthy gemstone jewelry. "Macchiata" is Italian for "spotted."

Cat Lovers Necklace, Tiger Iron Gemstone Chunky Boho Handmade Jewelry


chunky cat lover pendant necklace with tiger iron

Big and bold and with a large dose of funky boho vibes, the TIGER KITTY handmade pendant necklace is perfect for the woman who loves cats and loves wearing one of a kind jewelry! The unique necklace features an artisan orange cat pendant with an oxidized look, striped tigers iron gemstones, leather and copper. The pendant was artisan created from polymer clay, wider at the bottom than at the top. The cat design was hand carved; then acrylic pigments and colored pencils were added, along with a mica iron oxide for a grainy texture and a glowing sparkle. A thin coat of crystal fixative was applied to protect the pendant for many years of wearing pleasure. As you can see in the photos, the pendant has an oxidized look to it with a simplified rusty orange cat image with long whiskers against a darker background.  The backside is also painted and has the artist’s mark. To add even more of a boho look, the cat pendant is connected to the main body of the necklace with a securely knotted brown leather cord.  Large tigers iron gemstone rounds were chosen to perfectly complement the cat pendant. Tigers iron is a beautiful gemstone found in Australia, an aggregate with layers of tigers eye, red jasper and black hematite. The tiger iron used in the necklace shades from pale brown to black and is gloriously striped, each gemstone different from each other. To add even more gow to the necklace, 3 mm copper beads separate each tigers iron round. A textured copper s-clasp securely fastens the necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TIGER KITTY pendant necklace is a meaningful gift for the woman who adores her cat(s) and loves to wear unique designer jewelry with a boho flair.

Starburst Jasper Pearls Necklace, Chunky Handmade Gemstone Jewelry


gemstone and pearls necklace

The one of a kind Mother Nature's Stars handmade necklace was created with starburst jasper, coppery freshwater pearls and sterling silver - unique jewelry for women.


The spectacular semi precious gemstones used in the one of a kind MOTHER NATURE’S STARS handmade necklace look like brilliant sprays of stars or fireworks. Although the gemstone is called starburst jasper (also chrysanthemum jasper and spider jasper), it is actually not a jasper at all but a type of rhyolite formed during volcanic activity. The star patterns are large crystals that were created during the slow cooling of lava. Each of the seven gemstones used in the artisan necklace is covered in starburst patterns, front and back, contrasting exquisitely against a darker background in various shades of brown. To add even more beauty, each piece of the somewhat chunky, flattened jasper is large faceted on the edges and has a high, glossy shine, perfect to catch and reflect the light. Sterling silver daisy spacers frame each end of the jasper.  To add more than a touch of radiance to the necklace and to complement the colors of the starburst jasper perfectly, freshwater potato pearls separate each piece of starburst jasper and finish the back of the necklace. The warm, coppery color of the pearls range from a more golden shades to some a more orange-y look. They are called potato pearls since they are not perfectly round, most are more oblong, and some have ridges, adding wonderful texture to the necklace design. A hammered sterling silver hook clasp adds an elegant finish. Created for the woman who loves unique gemstone and artisan handmade jewelry, the MOTHER NATURE’S STARS necklace was carefully designed and created by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.

Faithful Dog Rescue Necklace, Pewter Jasper Red Coral Handmade Jewelry


dog necklace jewelry gift for women

The "Faithful" handmade necklace features a two sided pewter faithful dog pendant, red coral, Picasso jasper and sterling silver - meaningful gift for women.


The one of a kind FAITHFUL necklace is a perfect piece of handmade jewelry to gift a woman who loves dogs, especially if her dog(s) is a rescue. The meaningful design features a two sided, lead free pewter dog pendant, brilliant red coral nuggets and earthy Picasso jasper. The star of the one of a kind necklace is the lead free pewter dog pendant. It has a wonderfully rustic look to it since it was patterned after wax seal stamps that were once used to secure letters and documents. The pendant is two-sided. The front features a raised dog design with the word “faithful” above it. The backside has the word "FAITHFUL" on a raised sign. To lend a vintage feel, the charm was coated with a dark patina and then polished, leaving the raised areas shiny to bring out the lovely detail. To perfectly highlight the dog pendant, bright red coral nuggets and earthy colored Picasso jasper gemstones was used. Three pieces of red coral were used on each side of where the pendant connects and is then placed in groups of two with a jasper round separating them. The color of the Picasso jasper rounds range in shades of brown, from a light tan to darker browns, some with hints of gray. Separating the red coral from the jasper are small, glowing sterling silver beads. The necklace is finished with a small toggle clasp set. Created for the woman who cares for and loves dogs deeply, the unique FAITHFUL necklace was carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.


*** Please note: when sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the FAITHFUL necklace will be donated to an animal rescue group to help care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

Copper Feather Pendant Mixed Agate Necklace, Earthy Handmade Jewelry


copper feather pendant jewelry with mixed agate gemstones

The "Touch of Magic" handmade necklace features an artisan created copper feather pendant and mixed agate gemstones - unique jewelry for women.


With an exquisite feather-inspired copper pendant and mixed agate nuggets, the TOUCH OF MAGIC handmade necklace definitely spreads a magical spell when worn. People won’t be able to keep their eyes off of it! The earthy, one of a kind necklace features an artisan feather pendant that was handcrafted from beginning to end from precious copper metal clay: it was shaped, carved, inscribed and fired in a kiln. The solid copper pendant was then patinated and polished to bring out the incredible detail of the feathers. The feathers are somewhat raised against the background. As you can see, the details of the feather design are amazing, three rows radiating gracefully from the hole at the top of the pendant.  To perfectly mimic the pointed ends of the feather design on the pendant, gorgeous mixed agate graduated nuggets were used. The agate has an interesting cut, a faceted nugget, most with somewhat pointy ends. To add even more interest, ½ of the nuggets drilled long wise while ½ were drilled through the middle. The colors range naturally from very dark brown through rusty reds, mustard yellows, grays and whites, many with more than one color with swirls, spots and wavy lines.  Since the nuggets are faceted, they lend subtle glow to the necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TOUCH OF MAGIC necklace was created for the woman who adores wearing unique artisan jewelry.
