Mandala Flower Earrings, Copper Red Turquoise Handmade Boho Jewelry


copper red turquoise flower mandala earrings gift for her

The unique "Flower Power" handmade earrings feature artisan made flower mandala copper charms, red saturn beads and tri cut turquoise beads - fun jewelry for women.


The handmade FLOWER POWER boho earrings are a meaningful handmade jewelry gift for the woman who loves flowers and the beauty of mandalas.  The one of a kind earrings feature artisan created copper flower and mandala design charms, glowing red saturn beads and tri-cut faceted turquoise glass beads.  The literal meaning of the word “mandala” is “circle” and it is a symbol for creativity, a powerful existence and a deeper connection with the self and universe. Individually artisan handmade from start to finish, the round dangles are pure copper and have a warm “torched” patina.  A delicate six petaled flower with an intricate mandala design adds a somewhat mystical vibe.  The mandala flowers are raised against the background, providing wonderful texture.  To add a punch of eye catching color to the gorgeous earrings, two colors and shapes of Czech glass beads were used.  Just above each flower mandala charm is a gleaming red glass saturn saucer beads.  The beads were made in the Czech Republic from rich red translucent glass with an earthy Picasso finish.  The raised middle of the saturn beads were crisp faceted and and positively glow when backlit.  Just above each saturn bead, separated by thin copper spacers, is a bright turquoise bead.  With a slight silver Picasso finish, these beads are tri-cut with 3 large facets each, adding subtle sparkle to the earrings.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FLOWER POWER earrings were created for the woman who adores wearing unique boho earrings combining the cheerfulness of flowers with the spiritual meaning of mandalas.

Dharma Wheel Mandala Necklace, Dharmachakra Handmade Gemstone Jewelry


mandala dharmachakra dharma wheel pendant necklace

The "Dharmachakra" handmade necklace features a copper dharma wheel, purple fluorite, aqua terra jasper and copper findings - meaningful gift for women.


Featuring one of the oldest and most important symbols in Buddhism, the DHARMACHAKRA handmade pendant necklace is a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves to wear meaningful jewelry. A mandala dharma wheel (also called a dharmachakra) pendant in copper is paired with purple fluorite gemstones, purple aqua terra jasper and copper discs to create this beautifully unique necklace. The pendant is two sided, the same design on both sides, with the dharma wheel raised against the background for lovely texture. The design features a dharma wheel with ten spokes representing the ten directions (everywhere).  Since violet is the color of the crown chakra, purple fluorite rounds and purple aqua terra jasper rondelles were used to perfectly complement the dharma wheel pendant. As you can see in the photo, the purple fluorite ranges in color from a dark purple to pale lavender to almost clear, a natural characteristic of the gemstone. Some of the rounds are two-toned, both purple and clear. Separating the fluorite into groups are aqua terra jasper (also called sea sediment jasper) gemstone rondelles, five on each side. Typically, aqua terra jasper is pale aqua / sandy beige color with unique patterns, but, since it takes a dye fairly easily, it can be found in other colors, such as this gorgeous purple. As you can see, the unique patterning of the jasper is still seen.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the meaningful DHARMACHAKRA necklace will be a welcome gift to a woman who practices yoga, meditates or is a Buddhist.
