Dragonfly and Bamboo Pendant Necklace, Brass Turquoise Magnesite Handmade Jewelry

The gorgeous "Halcyon" handmade necklace features a dragonfly and bamboo brass pendant, turquoise magnesite cubes and copper - unique jewelry for women.

Filled with peaceful spring and summer happiness, the HALCYON handmade necklace is a thoughtful jewelry gift for the woman who loves a one of a kind, artisan design. The beautiful necklace features a brass dragonfly and bamboo pendant, turquoise magnesite cubes and copper beads. The gorgeous pendant has a raised dragonfly and sweeping bamboo design against a textured background. As you can see in the photos, the detailing is brilliant. And to add even more eye-appeal and to add a rustic vibe, the pendant was given a white patina for the background with a turquoise blue patina to bring out the dragonfly and the bamboo. Please be aware that the white patina shows up more in the photos - in real life, it is much more mellow with the brass. The back of the dragonfly and bamboo pendant is naturally patinated brass. To perfectly complement the turquoise blue patina of the pendant, turquoise magnesite and copper were used. The turquoise magnesite was permanently dyed a gorgeous turquoise blue color with natural brown veining in most of the pieces. Adding even more texture to the necklace design, the magnesite is cube-shaped, a shape you don’t see very often. Three magnesite cubes were used to make each grouping with copper beads separating each cube for fluidity in the necklace drape. A larger 7 mm copper bead separates each group.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the HALCYON necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who adores dragonflies and loves to wear one of a kind jewelry with peaceful vibes.

The peaceful "Halcyon" necklace is a perfect piece of jewelry for spring and summer wear.

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 Tree of Life charms are pure bronze, created from precious metal clay.  The trees are raised against the background which provides wonderful texture. To provide delicate color, the background of the charms were hand painted in shades of peachy pink and pale golden green to represent the first light of day. Since the charms were individually handmade and hand painted, you can see that the pieces are very similar but not exactly the same. The back of the Tree of Life charms are shiny bronze and fairly smooth.  To highlight the background colors of the dangles, two vintage look, dusty rose pink Czech glass discs with a golden bronze Picasso finish were stacked above each charm.  An opaque light turquoise blue-green tri-cut Czech beads with a brown Picasso finish was added to the top of each earrings.  Since the beads have three facets (tri-cut) they add subtle sparkle to the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FIRST LIGHT OF DAY Tree of Life earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves nature, trees and the first light of the morning.

The Tree of Life / Yggdrasil charms were handmade from solid bronze with the background hand painted in soft hued colors.

Birds Lotus Flower Pendant Necklace, Red Czech Glass Handmade Jewelry

The Birds and Lotus handmade necklace features a shield shaped pewter pendant with 

an ibis and a lotus flower design and oxblood red Czech glass beads.

Looking like an ancient Mesopotamian artefact, the pendant used as the focal of the BIRDS AND LOTUS handmade necklace is exquisite. Combined with two shapes and sizes of dark oxblood red fire polished Czech glass, the one of a kind necklace is one you’ll want to wear time and time again! The pendant was cast in glowing, lead free pewter here in the U.S. It has a unique shield shape and features two birds, probably ibises, facing a lotus blossom, all raised against the background for beautiful texture. A raised ornamental border with a palm design runs along the two long curved sides of the beautiful pendant. The bail used to connect the piece to the necklace was created with two four petaled flowers. The back of the pendant is smooth and shiny.

The ancient looking design of the shield shaped pendant shows two ibises facing a lotus flower with a palm design along the edges.

Since historians believe glassmaking was discovered about 4000 years ago in Mesopotamia, rustic looking Czech glass was used to perfectly highlight the pendant. The fire polished glass beads (see below to find out more about fire polishing) are primarily a rich, dark oxblood red but also have streaks of jet black and light to dark gray running through them for an aged look. Because of this, each bead is uniquely colored. Two shapes of red Czech glass were used: larger faceted rounds and smaller rice shaped beads. A beautifully textured lead free pewter toggle clasp set finishes the necklace perfectly. Created for the woman who loves one of a kind jewelry with an interesting “story” inspired from ancient times, the unique BIRDS AND LOTUS necklace was carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.

***What is “fire polishing?” A technique used for thousands of years, each bead was cut from a glass rod or tube which left sharp, rough edges and/or ends. To smooth the rough edges, the beads were “flamed” to the glass softening point where the the sharp edges are naturally “fire polished” to a smooth, glassy finish.

Faceted Czech glass beads: app. 8 mm
Rice shaped Czech glass beads: app. 6 mm x 5 mm
Metal: lead free pewter and sterling silver
Clasp: textured pewter toggle clasp set
Length: app. 18.5” / 47.0 cm
