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.

Tree of Life Yggdrasil Earrings, Painted Bronze Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "First Light of Day" handmade earrings feature artisan made solid bronze Tree of Life charms and pink and turquoise Czech glass beads - unique tree jewelry for women.

Looking as if the first soft hued rays of the morning sun are shining through a stand of trees, the FIRST LIGHT OF DAY handmade earrings are perfectly named and oh so beautiful! They are ideal for the woman who adores symbolic Tree of Life / Yggdrasil jewelry. The earrings feature individually artisan created bronze charms with dusty rose pink and turquoise Czech glass beads complementing the tree dangles.

The trees are raised up against the background providing wonderful texture. To provide delicate color, the charms were hand painted in shades of peachy pink and pale golden green to represent the first light of day. To highlight the background colors of the dangles, two dusty rose pink Czech glass discs with a golden bronze Picasso finish were stacked above each charm.  To add a pop of color to the design, an opaque light turquoise blue tri-cut Czech beads with an earthy brown Piasso finish was added, separated from the pink discs by a copper daisy spacer.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FIRST LIGHT OF DAY Tree of Life earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves nature, trees and the first light of the morning.
