Peace Symbol Earrings in Boho Chic Style

- Purple & Blue Czech Glass Chandelier Dangles -

These fun and meaningful peace sign earrings bring together shiny silver statement charms and blue and purple faceted Czech glass in an elegant boho-chic pair of dangles designed in a simple chandelier style. The peace signs, made in the USA by TierraCast, are rhodium-on-pewter plated beauties. The Czech beads, firepolished and barrel-shaped, are small and sweetly dainty. The purple color is a rich warm hue, whereas the blue is more delicate.

In the design for this pretty pair, these elements are made more eye-catching by the inclusion of small silver-filled beads. Each earring sports a trio of dangles, with the peace sign charm hanging from the central one. The dangles are connected to the earring hooks via 18-gauge jump rings. The overall overall length here is roughly 2.25 inches, including the ear hooks. (My listing at Etsy includes a photo for a side-by-side comparison with a ruler.)

These earring hooks are sterling silver French style, with the sterling mark on the rear of the hooks. They come with clear ear guards for better security when the earrings are worn. To give them an extra decorative touch, I added blue Czech beads to the front.

Honoring the beautiful ideal of peace, these earrings were handmade by me with care, thought, and best wishes for their destined wearer. They come on a PrettyGonzo jewelry card and in an organza bag, all set for gifting or enjoying yourself! They'd be a perfect pair for beach strolling, contemplating the surf and sand by day and the stars by night.

Truth Pendant Boho Statement Necklace

- Leather & Greek Beads, Unisex Inspirational Jewelry -

The word "truth" prevails in this inspirational statement necklace that combines an artisan-made word pendant, Mykonos ceramic beads, a carved Tibetan bone bead, and pale orange agate rondelles. The pendant, which is made of polymer clay, is roughly 1 5/8 inches in length and quite durable. It has a background color light olive green and is stamped with brown lettering and a darker green leaf design.

The Mykonos ceramic beads, made in Greece, are colorful eye-catchers that come in two different shapes: tube and washer. The tubes are lime green, bone, and brown in color, and the washers are dark green, lime green, and brown. The bone bead is from Nepal and was carved by Tibetan refugees there. It is decorated with the ancient "evil eye" protector symbol, and so looks like a talisman. I purchased it in a Tibetan Dharma shop in Newport, RI. The agate gemstone rondelles are a light shade of earthy orange and quite shiny.

The necklace also includes pewter daisy spacers and deerskin leather lace (made in the USA). The spacers also have a nice shine and add a metallic glint to the necklace. The deerskin leather lace (also made in the USA) is soft and supple. Although thin, this lace is quite strong and will stretch but not break. I used double slipknots in this piece, which made the length adjustable. The length is set at 31 inches, including the pendant.

A stylish and meaningful boho jewelry creation with tribal affinities, this truth necklace was handmade beaded by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. The necklace comes in a small box and wrapped for gifting to someone who values truth and higher principles. Perhaps that someone will be you!
