Hearts Valentines Earrings, Coral Ivory Lampwork Handmade Jewelry Gift


heart valentines earrings with swarovski crystals

The "Corazones Preciosas" handmade earrings feature artisan created lampwork glass heart beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals - unique Valentines gift for women.


The artisan made lampwork glass heart beads used to create the CORAZONES PRECIOSOS earrings are absolutely charming! And pairing the one of a kind beauties with mega-sparkle Swarovski crystals, you have exquisite jewelry you’ll want to wear year long, not just for Valentine’s Day! The two-sided lampwork puffy hearts started out with a base of rich coral orange glass. To create eye appeal, a band of contrasting ivory glass was added. Lines and dots of fine silver embellish the ivory bands, adding wonderful texture and a silver gleam. A single sterling silver daisy spacer and small sterling bead caps the bottom of each heart with a single sterling bead capping the top. Swarovski crystals are renowned for their breath-taking sparkle, and the ones used for these earrings are no exception. Sitting on top of the sterling bead is a faceted Swarovski bicone in a fiery color called “Indian red,” a perfect complement to the coral orange of the hearts. To make the earrings seemingly dance from your ears, two links of long and short sterling box chain connect the main body of the earrings to the sterling silver French hooks. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CORAZONES PRECIOSOS lampwork heart earrings were created for the woman who loves unique heart jewelry - a perfect Valentine’s Day gift, Mother’s Day gift, birthday gift or “just because” gift! “Corazones preciosas” is Spanish for "precious hearts."

Chunky Heart Flowers Necklace, Copal Turquoise Brass Handmade Jewelry


copal turquoise brass heart flowers pendant chunky necklace

The "Mon Coeur" handmade necklace features a vintage brass heart and flowers pendant, rich copal rondelles and vintage hand cut turquoise nuggets - bold jewelry for women.


Filled with beautiful chunky goodness, the one of a kind MON COEUR necklace is perfect for a woman who loves to wear bold statement jewelry. The eye catching necklace features a vintage brass heart with flowers pendant, gorgeous copal rondelles, old rustic turquoise and copper. The pendant was made in India out of solid brass and was used for trade in Africa - it was collected in Ghana. A cut-out heart shape, the pendant also includes three five petalled flowers and three swirling leafy vines. The raised areas are polished while the recessed areas have a darker patina to bring out the details of the pendant. The cut out design of the pendant allows whatever color clothing you’re wearing to show through, adding unexpected glamor. A decorative bail attaches the pendant to the main body of the necklace. The back of the pendant is silky smooth.  To perfectly complement the pendant, pressed copal and rustic turquoise were chosen. Even though the copal used in the necklace has an amber look to it, it is NOT amber (unfortunately copal is sometimes passed off as being real amber). Amber is fossilized tree resin and is millions of years old. Copal is also tree resin, but it hasn’t gone through the fossilization process and can be as “young” as thousands of years old. Pressed copal means it was melted down and reformed (pressed) into beads of the same size. The pressed copal rondelles used in the necklace are a rich butterscotch yellow with more than a hint of orange. Five groups of three copal rondelles are found on each side of the necklace, each rondelles separated by a glowing flower-shaped copper spacer. To add sinuous drape and pops of color between each grouping of copal, vintage turquoise were used. Since each bead of the old turquoise was individually hand formed, the beads are similar in size but not exactly the same. Some of the turquoise have dark matrix running through the beads and some don’t. To securely fasten the necklace, it’s finished with a textured solid copper toggle clasp. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MON COEUR heart pendant necklace was created for the woman who loves bold artisan jewelry with a story! “Mon coeur” is French for “my heart.”

The vintage pendant was made from solid brass and features a cut out heart design with flowers.



Here's the important information for the MON COEUR handmade necklace:

  • Vintage brass heart and flowers pendant: app. 57 mm x 48 mm x 4 mm (2.25” x 1.9”)
  • Copal rondelles: app. 26 mm x 10 mm (1” x 0.4”)

Dog Heart Necklace, I Ruff You Ceramic Turquoise Handmade Jewelry Gift


ceramic dog and heart pendant jewelry with turquoise

The unique "I Ruff You" dog necklace features an artisan handmade dog on heart ceramic pendant, genuine turquoise and copper - jewelry for the dog lover.


You can’t help but to smile each and every time you look at the pendant on the I RUFF YOU dog lover’s necklace! A perfect gift for the woman who adores dogs, the one of a kind handmade necklace features an artisan created ceramic dog on heart pendant, genuine turquoise and copper. The rustic style pendant was hand formed from ceramic clay into a heart with a dog and “I ruff you” impressed into the clay. After being hand painted with dark browns, rusty orange and minty green with a part of the front left unglazed, the pendant was kiln fired at high temperature to add strength and durability (however, if struck on a hard surface, the pendant could crack or chip). The design of the pendant is so whimsical: a cheeky looking dog with curled tail held high is highlighted in a brown glaze against an unglazed background. “I ruff you” is written above, also highlighted in dark brown. Rusty orange and minty green is splotched here and there. As an added bonus, the back of the pendant was left unglazed to act as an essential oil diffuser - just add a few drops of your favorite essential oil and the porous ceramic will hold the aroma for several days. Two heavy duty copper jump rings securely connect the dog and heart pendant to the main body of the necklace.  To perfectly complementi the colors and the rustic look of the dog pendant, gorgeous genuine turquoise rondelles were used. The colors of the turquoise rondelles, which are natural and not color enhanced, run more to various shades of greens and browns with a bit of blue here and there. Glowing copper bicones are liberally scattered throughout the necklace to add a sensuous drape to the necklace when worn.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the I RUFF YOU dog rescue necklace was created for the woman who loves her dogs and loves to wear unique, from the heart jewelry.

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

Red Hearts Silver Valentines Earrings, Crystals Handmade Jewelry Gift


red hearts and swarovski crystals valentines jewelry gift for her

The "Heart to Heart" handmade earrings feature rich red and silver Czech glass hearts and red Swarovski crystals - lovely Valentine's jewelry gift for women.


Although the HEART TO HEART handmade earrings are filled with the romance of Valentine’s Day, they can easily be worn all year long. The sweet and petite one of a kind earrings features red and silver Czech glass beads with an elongated heart design, sparkling red Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The two-sided glass hearts were made in the Czech Republic from rich red glass with a pressed design on both the front and the back. The design is reminiscent of splayed veins on a leaf. To bring out the detailing and to add a vintage look to the hearts, a silver Picasso finish was applied and then polished off, leaving the silver in the recessed areas and on the edges. Since the glass is translucent, the hearts positively glow when worn.  To perfectly complement the hearts and to provide maximum sparkle to the earring design, faceted Swarovski crystals round beads were added. The color, called “Siam,” is a deep ruby red that seems to capture light and then radiate it again.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the HEART TO HEART earrings are a perfect gift idea for the woman who loves to wear unique artisan jewelry.

The unique hearts were created in the Czech Republic from red glass with a silver Picasso finish.

Colorful Valentines Hearts Earrings, Enamel Crystals Handmade Jewelry


pink white red green black and blue enamel valentines heart earrings

The "Crazy Hearts" handmade earrings feature colorful artisan created enamel hearts, pink roller beads and Swarovski crystals - unique Valentine's Day jewelry for women.


Perfect for the woman who doesn’t want “just any” Valentine’s Day jewelry, the CRAZY HEARTS one of a kind earrings are definitely eye-catchers and sure to please! These uniquely colorful beauties were created with individually artisan handmade enamel heart charms. Pink Czech glass roller beads and glittering Swarovski crystals highlight the fun. Starting out as copper blanks, the hearts were carefully layered with enamel glass powder and fused onto the copper with a high temperature butane torch. The base is shiny white enamel with tiny black dots. Circles and dots in pink, green, blue, red and yellow outlined in black are scattered over the hearts. To add even more fun, the hearts are similar but also very different in design. The back of the hearts are finished in shiny black enamel.  To perfectly complement the enamel heart dangles, premium pink Czech glass roller beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals were used. The faceted roller beads were created from a combination of various shades of pink and clear glass around a metallic copper center. Because of the metallic finish in the center, the roller beads positively glow!  And talking about sparkle, a single Swarovski crystal was nestled into the top of the roller beads. The crystals are clear but they have an aurora borealis (AB) finish so flashes of rainbow colors are mesmerizing (colors the photos hardly pick up).  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind CRAZY HEARTS earrings are a perfect Valentine’s Day / Mother’s Day / birthday jewelry gift for the woman who loves to flaunt vibrant designer jewelry.

A perfect jewelry gift for the dog lover, the one of a kind earrings were created with copper paw print and heart charms, faceted white pearls and Czech glass. The oh-so-fun copper paw print and hearts charms were individually artisan made from pure copper. The design is a raised paw print in a recessed heart with a raised border, adding wonderful texture and a rustic look. The charms were given a dark patina, polished to bring out the detail and then sealed. They have a beautiful copper glow that photos can never show.

To add a rich look to the overall earrings design, faceted white cultured pearls and two shapes and colors of Czech glass were stacked above the copper charms. Faceted pearls are not something you see every day! The alluring pearls are a snow white with shimmering luster, the facets adding even more beauty to the look. Above each pearl, separated by a copper daisy spacer, is a Czech glass disc in an aqua opal milk glass color. The discs are translucent, adding exquisite glow when the earrings are worn. A ridged, dark teal Czech glass lantern bead tops each disc. The lantern beads were coated with a metallic copper Picasso finish and then polished, leaving the metallic finish at the bottom of the ridges, providing subtle shimmer to the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PAW PRINTS ON THE HEART earrings were created for the woman who loves her dog (s), especially if the four footed friends are rescues.
