Feather Moon Star Earrings, Boho Turquoise Purple Handmade Jewelry

The "Celestial Feathers" handmade earrings feature artisan polymer clay feather dangles with a moon and star, Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for women.

Created from long, colorful feather shaped polymer clay dangles, one with a moon and one with a star, these boho inspired handmade earrings just had to be named CELESTIAL FEATHERS. Designed with lightweight feather drops, premium Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals, the one of a kind earrings will feed your inner gypsy. The feather dangles were individual artisan handmade from white polymer clay with a moon, a star, dots and lines impressed into the clay. The feathers were hand painted with a background of a greenish-blue turquoise polymer clay ink. Then more inks in shades of grass green, pale green, purple and fuchsia pink were brushed on creating two mini watercolor look paintings - art for the ears!  As you can see, the feathers are each one of a kind. The backs of the feathers are smooth and painted with turquoise inks. Copper wire wraps the top of the feathers. Because the feathers are made from polymer clay, the earrings are VERY lightweight to wear.

To perfectly complement the colorful feathers, premium quality Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals top the feathers. The color of the Czech roller beads is called “royalty with their mix of blue, purple and green translucent glass with a shiny fire polished finish and facets. They have a metallic silver finish with a bit of the silver here and here on the exterior for a rustic look. The roller beads absolutely glow when the earrings are worn and have a single sparkle because of the faceting. To add mega sparkle, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone sits on top of each roller bead, separated by a copper daisy spacer. The color of the crystals is called “medium vitrail.” A permanent multicolor foil was added to half of the faceted bicone. As the light travels through the crystal and strikes the foil, a breathtaking rainbow of colors can be seen: greens, purples, pinks, blues and golds. A single copper bead tops each crystal. Sterling silver French hook earwires with the addition of a small “medium vitrail” crystal finishes the unique earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CELESTIAL FEATHERS earrings are a perfect boho jewelry gift for the woman who loves wearing the moon and stars on unique artisan feather jewelry! 

The colorful polymer clay feather dangles were individually artisan created and hand painted.

Sun Moon Stars Celestial Earrings, Ceramic Blue Brown Handmade Jewelry

The "Celestial" handmade earrings feature artisan handmade sun, moon and stars ceramic discs, sapphire blue Czech roller beads and Swarovski crystals - gorgeous jewelry for women.

If you or someone you know loves anything having to do with the sky, especially the sun, moon and stars, then the well-named CELESTIAL handmade earrings are definitely a stellar jewelry gift!  The magical, one of a kind beauties feature artisan handmade ceramic discs with a celestial design, sapphire blue Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals. The beautiful discs were individually artisan handmade from porcelain clay, kiln fired, painted and then fired again.  As you can see in the photos, the center of the discs have a sun, crescent moon and stars designs, the raised areas with the natural porcelain color and the recessed areas filled with the medium brown glaze. To highlight the celestial design in the center, the outer rim has a rustic etched design and was painted with two shades of blue.  The back of each disc is finished with the blue glazes.  Perfectly complementing the eye catching celestial discs are Czech glass roller beads, to represent the night sky, and sparkling Swarovski crystals to represent the stars.  The roller beads are an exquisite translucent sapphire color with golden silver centers. The depth of these beads are amazing and they positively glow in the light when the earrings are worn.  Nestled into the top of each roller bead is a single 6 mm Swarovski crystal in an almost clear color called “crystal silver shade” with a soft silvery sheen. Since both the roller beads and the Swarovski crystals are faceted, there is a lot of star-like sparkle.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the stunning CELESTIAL handmade earrings are a meaningful jewelry gift for an astronomer, a sky watcher or anyone who loves artisan designer jewelry.

Hey, all.  If you ever need for photos, free to use, check out Unsplash.  All that is asked is that if you share them is to give the photographer credit - only fair.  There are so many categories; from animals to travel; from spirituality to textures and patterns; from nature to arts and culture and more.   If I ever need photos for my blog, etc., I'll be looking here first.  And if you have the skills, am sure many of these will make fun new shop banners.  A Twitter friend, Kathy of CozyAtoZ (who I found out about Unsplash from on her blog), has already used a yarn image for Twitter and for her shops - here's her Etsy shop:  CozyAtoZ
