Easter Island Face Mask Earrings, Aqua Opal Czech Glass Jewelry Gift


easter island face earrings

The "Easter Island" handmade earrings feature opalized Czech glass face beads, Czech tri-cut glass beads and Swarovski crystals - jewelry for women.


The EASTER ISLAND handmade earrings have such a whimsical quality to them, reminding me of the faces of the regal statues (moai) that are found on Easter Island. Mega-fun anytime you want to inject fanciful flair to your clothes of the day, the one of a kind earrings were created with Czech glass and Swarovski crystals. The highlight of the artisan earrings are the two-sided Czech glass face mask beads in a glowing aqua blue opaline glass. As you can see, the eyes are closed, looking as if they are in peaceful repose. The lustrous blue opal look beads have a great amount of texture - the nose, chin and cheeks are raised - highlighted by a bronze Picasso finish to bring out the glorious detail. Since the face mask beads are two sided, the earrings look fabulous from any angle and positively glow when worn.  To perfectly complement the unique face beads, tri-cut Czech glass beads and Swarovski crystals are stacked on top. The Czech beads are a translucent aqua turquoise blue with an earthy matte Picasso finish. Three facets reveal the translucent glass and add subtle sparkle. Capping the Czech bead is a sparkling Swarovski crystal in a color called “white opal” a perfect foil for the opaline glass of the face beads. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the EASTER ISLAND earrings were created for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry designs and loves to have fun with her earrings.

Burgundy Opaline Pink Swarovski Pearl Bracelet, Handmade Jewelry Gift


glowing purple and pink swarovski pearl bracelet gift for women

The "Luminous" handmade bracelet features two colors of glowing Swarovski crystal pearls and sterling silver - elegant jewelry for women.


The LUMINOUS handmade bracelet is definitely filled with an understated elegance and eye-catching radiance, jewelry that you will want to wear over and over again, perhaps stacked with other bracelets.  The gorgeous, one of a kind bracelet was created with two colors of Swarovski crystal pearls (an imitation pearl) and sterling silver in a slightly asymmetrical design. A gorgeous color combination, the color of the darker pearls is “burgundy” purple and the lighter color is “rosaline” pink. Four burgundy pearls are found on either side of the clasp, each separated by small sterling beads. In the center of the bracelet, five pale pink rosaline pearls are found, separated by a single burgundy pearl, three on one side and two on the other. Each cluster of rosaline pearls are capped on both sides with small sterling silver disc spacers and small sterling beads. As you can see in the photos, the Swarovski pearls are very lustrous with almost a mirror like finish - in fact you can see my silhouette in each pearl! A sleek sterling silver toggle clasp finishes the bracelet securely. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the LUMINOUS Swarovski pearl bracelet is perfect for the woman who loves glowing, artisan created jewelry.

What are Swarovski pearls? To start out with, they have a real Swarovski crystal center (rather than a plastic bead center as in most faux pearls). A signature, natural-looking pearl coating is applied layer by layer, even and thick, to mimic the nacre of real pearls. Swarovski pearls have a realistic weight and, when worn, will warm to your skin like natural pearls. They also are more resistant to perspiration, sun, perfume and scratches than real pearls.
