Lavender Lampwork Earrings, Turquoise Spring Summer Handmade Jewelry


spring lavender handmade lampwork jewelry sterling silver

The "Lavanda Primaverile" handmade earrings feature two sizes and colors of beautiful artisan lampwork glass beads - unique jewelry for women.

Like a breath of sweet spring air, the LAVANDA PRIMAVERILE handmade dangle earrings are perfect to wear all spring and summer long. Jewelry with exquisite colors, the one of a kind earrings feature two kinds of artisan designed glass lampwork beads and sterling silver. The larger lampwork glass beads were individually artisan handmade with a base of turquoise blue. While the glass was still in its molten stage, a glass frit of lavender purple and shades of green was added, looking like lavender flowers peeking through green leaves against a turquoise blue sky. The finish of the beads is high glossy shine. A sterling silver daisy spacer caps the top and bottom of the lampwork beauties.  A smaller translucent lampwork bead sits on the larger glass bead, complementing it perfectly. The color is a soft lavender purple which highlights the lavender in the larger bead. The glass beads, also individually artisan made, have a matte sea glass finish which allows them to glow stunningly.  A single sterling silver daisy spacer sits on top of the glowing bead along with a 3 mm sterling bead. Two links of sterling box chain were added to provide a huge amount of flirty movement when worn. Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the lovely earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the LAVANDA PRIMAVERILE earrings were created for the woman who adores lavender and loves wearing one of a kind artisan jewelry. “Lavanda primaverile” is Italian for “spring lavender.”

Lotus Yoga Earrings, Lavender Fuchsia Pink Handmade Jewelry



lavender purple and fuchsia pink translucent lotus flower earrings

The "Kamal" handmade earrings feature Czech glass lotus blossom coin beads and lavender gray opal Japanese seed beads with sterling silver - unique yoga jewelry for women.


These gorgeous KAMAL lotus blossom earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the spiritual woman who practices yoga and/or meditates. The earrings might be on the smaller side but they pack huge meaning and will be beauties that she’ll reach for time and time again. Czech glass lotus beads are featured in the earrings and are combined with small Japanese nugget beads and sterling silver. A lovely lotus flower design was impressed into slightly rustic, pale lavender purple Czech glass coin beads. To bring out the beautiful details of the lotus blossom and the rustic small pits and “cracks,” a metallic fuchsia pink Picasso finish was applied which settled into the recessed areas. The lavender purple glass is translucent and positively glows as you can see in the photos of the earrings hanging. Since the lotus coin beads are two sided, the earrings look fabulous from any angle.  To add an even more rustic feel to the elegant earrings design, two small Japanese glass nugget beads were stacked above the lotus coins. They were created from a lavender gray opal glass, and because of silver lined inner finish, they glow much like opals do. Because the beads aren’t perfectly round, they may not hang perfectly straight (as some of the photos show), adding great texture to the earrings. Adding silver sheen, two small sterling silver disc spacers, separate the opal glass beads and cap the top and bottom of the stack. Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the lovely earrings, Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the KAMAL lotus flower earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear meaningful, spiritual artisan jewelry. “Kamal” is Hindi for “lotus” (कमल)

  • Lavender gray opal Japanese beads: app. 5 mm x 4 mm

Dotted Lampwork Earrings, White Aqua Purple Colorful Handmade Jewelry


turquoise purple aqua green orange spotted lampwork glass earrings

The fun "Macchie" handmade earrings feature artisan dotted lampwork glass beads, rustic matte purple Czech beads, pewter bead caps and sterling silver - jewelry gift for women.


Full of vibrant, fun-filled color, the MACCHIE handmade earrings are perfect jewelry accessories to wear with almost anything in your wardrobe, from dress up to dress down. The one of a kind earrings are on the smaller side and feature artisan made dotted lampwork glass beads, dark purple Czech glass beads, pewter bead caps and sterling silver. The lampwork beads started out as opaque white glass. While still in the molten stage, multi-colored frit was added causing vivid dots to form randomly across the white glass. As you can see the colors of the spots are primarily various shades of aqua blues, turquoise, lime green, purple, orange, red and pink. Since the dots form randomly, you can see that the lampwork beads are similar but are also different, each a unique work of art. The photos show many different angles of the earrings so you can get a good idea of the array of spots. To add an old silver gleam, pewter bead caps with a leaf design hug the top and bottom of the lampwork beads.  To perfectly complement the lampwork glass beads, and to highlight the lavender and purple dots, rustic translucent Czech glass druk beads were used. These beads are a deep purple glass with a purple wash to add richness. The beads have an etched matte finish and are rustically not “perfect.” When the earrings are worn and backlit, the purple druk beads positively glow.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MACCHIE lampwork glass earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who adores, fun, artisan handmade jewelry. “Macchie” is Italian for “spots.”

  • Spotted lampwork glass beads: app. 11 mm x 9 mm (0.43” x 0.35”)

Peacock Earrings, Rustic Lavender Purple Copper Handmade Jewelry Gift


peacock earrings for her gift idea



I'll be the first to admit: the peacock Czech glass beads used in these artisan handmade earrings are absolutely majestic . . . which is why I named the artisan beauties PEACOCK MAJESTY. They will look exquisite on your ears! The earrings were created with eye catching Czech glass peacock beads, Czech glass Saturn / UFO beads and sterling silver. The main focal of the one of a kind artisan earrings are the beautiful, dimensional Czech glass peacock beads. The beads were made in small batches from violet purple glass. A lustrous, shimmering Picasso finish in copper and gold with hints of mossy green was applied to bring out the detail of the beads and to add an aged, vintage look. A Picasso finish rarely covers all the glass so you can see some of the violet purple peeking through. As you can see from the photo, the peacocks are very detailed, from the curve of the peacock’s neck to the individual feathers in the tail They are 3D with the peacock’s head and chests raised above the tail. The beads are two-sided so, no matter how the earrings hang, a peacock will always be seen.

Lovely amethyst purple UFO beads were added to the earrings design to bring out the color of the violet glass of the peacock beads. They are a Saturn / UFO shape with a crisp faceted raised center. The beautiful beads also have a Picasso finish added, except for the faceted center, in blue gray with bits of rust. Because the center of each bead has no Picasso finish, it is translucent and looks especially beautiful when backlit (see the photo of the earrings hanging). Created for the woman who adores unique beaded jewelry with a bird theme, the PEACOCK MAJESTY earrings were carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.

If you adore unique, boho jewelry, you will truly adore the exotic looking CASABLANCA DREAMING handmade earrings. The beautiful, one of a kind earrings feature swirling solid bronze dangles set with a lavender crystal, lavender and orange lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals. The bronze dangles were artisan handmade from pur bronze. The flowing design in filled with arches, lines and dots reminiscent of the architecture detailing found in the bazaars, mosques and churches that might be found when wandering the streets of Casablanca. For added interest, a small lavender crystal was set under an arch, adding unexpected sparkle to the bronze dangles. The dangles are rounded diamond shape with slight curves in the long sides. The back of the dangles are mostly smooth. Since the bronze pieces were individually created, there dangles are very similar but there are slight differences as you can see in the photos.

The lampwork beads were individually artisan created from a base of luscious medium orange glass with a layering of lavender glass frit. Some of the orange can be seen through the lavender, as well as the top and bottom of the beads.
