Blue Black Dragonfly Earrings, Swarovski Handmade Nature Jewelry Gift

The "Blue Dragonfly" handmade earrings were created with blue and black Czech glass dragonfly beads and indigo Swarovski crystals - unique artisan jewelry for women.

With their luscious jet blue and black dragonfly beads, sparkling indigo Swarovski crystals and glowing copper, the one of a kind BLUE DRAGONFLY earrings are filled with eye catching loveliness. The handmade, nature inspired earrings feature Czech glass coin beads with a dragonfly image impressed into the front and back. The opaque glass is a mix of blue and black with a high gloss finish. A silky lighter blue Picasso finish was applied to bring out the lovely detail of the dragonflies and adds a rustic look to the overall design. As you can see in the photos, each side of the dragonfly beads is different in the amount of blue and black that can be found - this is the norm in most high quality Czech glass beads.  To complement the jet blue color of the dragonfly beads and to add great sparkle, a single 6 mm faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was used. The color is called “indigo,” an opulent color of dark blue. A 2 mm copper bead was placed on top of each crystal.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BLUE DRAGONFLY earrings were made for the woman who loves unique, artisan dragonfly jewelry.

The unique handmade earrings feature Czech dragonfly coin beads in blue and black glass with a silky lighter blue Picasso finish.

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
