Wildfire Orange Spike Earrings, Rustic Ceramic Boho Handmade Jewelry


rustic wildfire orange boho earrings jewelry czech glass

The blazing hot WILDFIRE handmade earrings feature artisan orange spikes and Czech glass roller beads - boho jewelry for women!

Hot, hot, hot in all their flaming red orange beauty, the unique WILDFIRE handmade spike earrings are extremely trendy and fun to wear often! Jewelry with a rustic boho vibe, the one of a kind earrings feature artisan made ceramic spikes, premium Czech glass roller beads, copper and sterling silver. The vibrantly colored spikes were individually artisan handmade from porcelain ceramic and painted with a glaze called “wildfire.” As you can see, the color is intense with shades of orange, red, yellow and specks of green. The top of each spike was coated with bronze clay and then were kiln fired at high heat for strength and durability. Since the spikes were individually handmade, they are very similar in color but also different, as you can see in the photo, adding great rustic charm.  To perfectly complement the spikes, premium Czech glass roller beads were used at the top of the spikes, separated by several layers of rustic copper wire wrapping. The faceted beads were created with a somewhat translucent green and aqua blue base glass. To add earthy goodness, a heavy Picasso finish was added in shades of mossy green, copper and medium blue. Since the Czech roller beads are faceted, they add subtle sparkle to the earrings design.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind WILDFIRE earrings were created for the woman who adores jewelry with a huge dose of boho beauty!

Poppy Garden Earrings, Klimt Flowers Tibetan Beads Handmade Jewelry


poppy symbolist klimt inspired earrings boho flower garden polymer clay

The RED POPPIES handmade earrings feature Klimt inspired poppy garden dangles, Tibetan resin beads and orange Czech glass - unique art jewelry for women.

Perfect jewelry for the woman who loves lightweight, boho style earrings inspired by a famous artist, the colorful RED POPPIES earrings will be treasured by any art lover and worn time and time again. Long and dangly, the one of a kind earrings feature Gustav Klimt inspired red poppy garden polymer clay dangles and amber resin Tibetan beads. The amazing Klimt influenced dangles were individually artisan made from black polymer clay. The multicolored poppy design was drawn freehand into the clay, shimmering acrylic pigments were hand painted in layers for depth and two layers of a crystal protectant were added for many years of wearing enjoyment. The unique hand painted design is filled with vibrant orange red poppies with sweeping swirls in complementing aqua blue, orange, copper and gold pigments.  A black “frame” enhances the flowers. The back side is finished in mixed metallic pigments with the artist’s mark. As you can see, the dangles are different but similar in design. Since the dangles are made from polymer clay, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  Stacked above the red poppy dangles, perfectly highlighting them, are Tibetan resin beads and glowing orange Czech glass beads. Handmade by artisans in Nepal in the traditional manner of mixing resin with amber dust, the vintage-look Tibetan beads are a rich honey amber color that are somewhat translucent. Adding even more eye interest, the resin beads are inlaid around the middle with dotted brass wire. Stacked above each Tibetan bead, separated by a copper disc spacer, is a single translucent orange Czech glass bead with a light metallic finish that glows beautifully when the earrings are worn.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the RED POPPIES handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves art jewelry, especially those inspired by the flower garden paintings of Gustav Klimt.

Hieroglyph Earrings, Vintage Glass Snake Vertebrae Handmade Jewelry


hieroglyphs and glass snake vertebrae dangle jewelry gift for her

The unique "Ancient Scribes" handmade earrings feature artisan Egyptian hieroglyph dangles, vintage glass snake vertebrae beads and sterling silver - one of a kind jewelry for women.


The ANCIENT SCRIBES handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves the wonder and mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphs. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan created pewter hieroglyph charms, vintage glass snake vertebrae beads and sterling silver. The lead free pewter dangles, individually hand cast, feature a different set of hieroglyphs on each charm. One dangle has, from top to bottom: an eye (which represents safety), a zigzag (represents water), two curved staffs (which represent folded cloth), a spiral (represents shelter) and an unidentified marking at the bottom. The other has: a sideways lotus bud (represents rebirth), a quail chick (represents the letter W which was a vowel sound) and a zigzag (represents water). The hieroglyph charms have a lovely antique, rustic look and aren’t the exact same shape. A bit wider on the bottom than at the top, they were given a patina to bring out the details of the hieroglyphs and then polished to look like heirloom silver. The back of the charms have a slightly grainy, darker finish. To add unexpected beauty to the design of the hieroglyph earrings, vintage glass snake vertebrae beads are stacked above the charms. Sometimes called zigzag beads, they get their more common name due to their resemblance to the interlocking vertebrae of snakes. Most vintage snake beads are Czech or French and were produced for African trade. The beads are at least 50+ years old and are colored coral orange and blue. For fun, two blue beads and one coral orange were stacked on one earring while the other has two coral orange and one blue bead. A 3 mm sterling silver bead nettles into the top of the upper vertebrae bead. Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the eye catching earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ANCIENT SCRIBES handmade hieroglyphs earrings were created for the woman who adores wearing unique designer jewelry.

Southwest Church Cross Necklace, Terracotta Carnelian Handmade Jewelry


terracotta church jewelry with carnelian gemstones

The meaningful "Sagrada" handmade necklace features an artisan terracotta church with crosses pendant, carnelian in two shapes and sizes and turquoise Czech glass lantern beads - unique Southwest jewelry for women.

Many cities and towns in the Desert Southwest have an “old town” section dominated by a beautiful adobe church that exudes sacredness and history: Santa Fe, Tucson, El Paso, Albuquerque, Las Cruces - the list goes on. The beautifully rustic pendant featured on the SAGRADA handmade necklace is reminiscent of those memorable churches. The Southwest inspired artisan pendant was created from reddish-brown terracotta ceramic. A lovely matte turquoise wash was added that allows areas of the earthy terracotta to show through giving an ancient, distressed look. The original artisan design of a church with two crosses and clouds above was impressed into the clay giving great texture to the not quite rectangular pendant. The back of the pendant is unglazed and can be used as an aromatherapy diffuser - carefully dab a drop or two of essential onto the back and the scent will be released for hours. To perfectly highlight the colors of the terracotta church pendant, two shapes and sizes of glowing orange carnelian were used along with small turquoise Czech glass beads. The larger and darker carnelian beads are more roundish nugget shaped, each just a bit different, adding a rustic flare. They are a rich dark orange color with some streaks of lighter and darker orange. Seven of these are found on each side of the necklace. Separating the nuggets are hand cut carnelian discs in a lighter orange shade. Since the discs are hand cut, they are very similar in size and shape but also are a bit different. Four discs separate the rounds along with small copper beads. For added Southwest color, a single ridged turquoise Czech glass lantern bead is found in the middle of each set of discs, separated by small copper beads. A sleek pure copper toggle clasp set finishes the necklace securely. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the peaceful SAGRADA necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who loves unique designer jewelry with a Southwest soul. “Sagrada” is Spanish for “sacred.”

Leaf Earrings, Boho Orange Red Purple Gold Lampwork Handmade Jewelry


handmade leaf earrings in autumn colors

The fiery "Autumn Flames" handmade boho earrings feature artisan polymer clay leaves, artisan lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals - gorgeous leaf jewelry for women.


Gorgeous in all their intense fall colors, the AUTUMN FLAMES one of a kind earrings imparts a colorful boho style. The beautiful jewelry was handmade with artisan leaves, artisan lampwork glass beads, copper and sterling silver. The eye-catching leaves were individually handmade from polymer clay, an artist's clay that is light in weight but very durable. The leaves have amazing ruffled detail and are narrower at the tops and wider at the somewhat wavy bottoms. Handpainted, the leaves are a fiery blend of orange, red and purple with metallic gold trim at the bottom and two curving lines of turquoise running from top to bottom. The back side of the leaves are painted with a metallic lavender purple color with subtle sparkles. To perfectly complement the colors of the leaves, lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals were stacked above. The lampwork beads were individually created from red glass with a dark blue/purple band around the middle. The finish is very high gloss so the beads have a wonderful shine. Separated by two flower shaped copper spacers, a sparkling dark purple faceted Swarovski crystal bicone sits on top of each lampwork bead. The color, called “purple velvet,” is a rich, regal shade of dark translucent purple. A small copper bead caps the Swarovski crystals. To add even more sparkle, a small purple velvet crystal was added to each sterling silver French hook earwire for a lovely finish to the design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the AUTUMN FLAMES earrings were created for the woman who loves a colorful boho look in lightweight to wear jewelry.

Red Orange Yellow Fan Chandelier Earrings, Boho Handmade Jewelry Gift


colorful enamel chandelier jewelry in yellow orange red

The fun "Vivacious" handmade earrings feature artisan enamel fan dangles, Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver - boho jewelry gift for women.


Perfectly named, the VIVACIOUS handmade earrings are full of brilliant color and flirty sparkle. Fun, lightweight jewelry for the woman who loves a boho look, the one of a kind earrings are created from artisan hand enameled cut-out fan dangles and Swarovski crystals. The colorful fan shaped dangles were individually created. Shiny red, orange and yellow glass powder was fused onto the front of cut-out copper fans at very high heat with a torch. The yellow is found at the top, the orange is in the middle and the red is at the bottom. Since the enameling was done by hand, the fans are very similar but also different, definitely making the earrings one of a kind jewelry. As you can see in the photos, the enamel is very shiny, so it was impossible to photograph them without getting reflections. The back of the fans are finished in shiny black enamel.  To perfectly complement the colors used for the enamel and to add mega sparkle, six faceted Swarovski crystal bicones were wire wrapped with copper wire to dange from the bottom of each fan. Three colors were used: light Siam red, tangerine orange and sunflower yellow. Just imagine how the crystals wil sparkle and flash at each movement of the head when the earrings are worn! To add even more glitter, a tangerine orange Swarovski crystal was added to each sterling silver earwire for unexpected fun. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the lightweight to wear VIVACIOUS earrings were created for the woman who loves one of a kind, boho jewelry with a huge dose of color and sparkle!

Halloween Pumpkin Earrings, Jack O Lantern Orange Handmade Jewelry


pumpkin halloween jewelry orange lampwork black crystals

The Jack O Lantern handmade earrings feature copper pumpkin charms with a grinning face, glossy orange lampwork glass beads and two types of black crystals - unique Halloween jewelry for women.


What a fun pair of one of a kind pumpkin earrings to wear to your favorite Halloween party no matter what your costume is! The grinning JACK O LANTERN handmade earrings feature unique artisan made copper Jack O Lantern pumpkins. To perfectly complement the copper dangles, rich orange artisan lampwork glass beads and two types of sparkling black crystals were used. You can’t help but smile when you see the Jack O Lantern pumpkin charms - they look like they are grinning from ear to ear (if pumpkins had ears!). The pumpkins were individually created: molded, shaped, carved and fired in a kiln from beginning to end from precious metal copper clay. Since the charms were torched at high heat to bring out the details, they have a rich, rustic copper patina on the front and back. As you can see, the detailing of the eyes, nose and mouth are exquisite, along with ridge lines that a pumpkin normally has. To add a pop of eye catching color, the pumpkin charms were paired with orange lampwork beads.  The lampwork beads have a high shine, glossy finish that catches and radiates light. Stacked above the orange lampwork beads are two types of crystals. The first are copper rondelles with a black metal finish that are set with a bevy of jet black Czech crystals.  The crystals might be on the smaller size but they add tremendous sparkle. To add even more glitter, nestled into the top of each rondelle is a single faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a black color called "jet.". Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the fun earrings. Designed and carefully handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the whimsical JACK O LANTERN earrings are perfect for the woman who loves to wear one of a kind, artisan jewelry for Halloween.

Red Orange Dangle Earrings, Czech Glass Sterling Handmade Jewelry Gift

 

summer fall earrings with red and orange glass beads
The "Summer Spice" earrings were created with red and orange Czech glass beads and sterling silver - unique summer earrings for women.


The hot SUMMER SPICE handmade earrings are just that - spicy red and orange jewelry to wear all summer (or all year) long! Created with Czech glass in three shapes and spicy colors, along with sterling silver, these one of a kind beauties are FUN! The larger bead is a rich, dark red coin that was covered with a dark maroon red Picasso finish to give a rustic, vintage feel. The bead was then “table cut“ in the center on the front and back to expose the opaque dark red glass and then polished to a high shine. Since the beads are two sided, the dangle earrings look fabulous from any angle when worn.  Just above each red coin, separated by sterling silver daisy spacers are four-sided Czech glass bicone beads, thicker in the middle than on the narrower end. The color is a lovely translucent raspberry red that glows in the light. The finish is not high shine and it’s not matte, but something in between. Capping the top and the bottom of the earrings are translucent tangerine orange Czech glass round beads, separated by more sterling silver daisy spacers. The orange beads have a slight silver metallic Picasso finish which gives them a beautiful gleam, and, like the raspberry red beads, they positively glow when the earrings are worn. All of the elements used to create the joyous earrings were strung on handmade sterling head pins with a hammered loop at the end and then wire wrapped to sterling silver French hook earwires. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique SUMMER SPICE earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear artisan one of a kind fashion earrings with a hot, spicy look.

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.”
