Owl Earrings, Birds Birder Faux Vintage Brown Blue Handmade Jewelry


owl jewelry vintage look earrings handmade

The WISE OWLS handmade earrings feature artisan owl dangles, amber Czech glass and Swarovski crystals - unique bird jewelry for women.

Gorgeous nature inspired jewelry for the woman who loves birds, especially majestic owls, the unique WISE OWLS handmade earrings will quickly become favorites. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan created owl charms that look as if they were pulled from a book of antique bird illustrations. Faceted, translucent amber glass beads, indicolite Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver complement the owl dangles. The eye catching, square-shaped owl charms look as if they are vintage jewelry pieces. But they are faux vintage, having been individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper with a permanent metal owl transfer.  The beautiful owls, which look very similar to barn owls, are light beige and a medium cinnamon brown color with darker feather markings. The head is gazing to the left and features a whitish, heart-shaped face with a dark eye and a pale beak. The background is a somewhat mottled sky blue. Since the dangles were individually handmade, there are slight differences which adds a wonderful antique vibe.  Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  To perfectly highlight the colors in the owl charms, faceted Czech glass beads and Swarovski crystals were stacked above the dangles. The translucent Czech glass beads are a rich amber color with bits of opaque white.  Since the beads are faceted, they add subtle sparkle to the earrings design. And adding LOTS of sparkle are the faceted Swarovski crystal bicones in a rich color called “indicolite,” an indigo-blue color that mimics tourmaline gemstones.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind WISE OWLS earrings are a great gift for the woman who adores owls / birds, is perhaps a birder and loves wearing, lightweight artisan designed jewelry.

Rustic Owl Earrings, Black Turquoise Blue Swarovski Handmade Jewelry


handmade hoot owl earrings with crystals gift for women

The "Twilight Owls" handmade earrings feature two sided, rustic Czech glass owl beads, aquamarine shimmer Swarovski crystals and sterling silver - unique bird earrings for women.


With their rustic, worn look, the TWILIGHT OWLS handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for a woman who is a birder or who just loves the majesty and beauty of owls. The one of a kind beauties feature rustic, two sided Czech glass coin beads created with a whimsical owl design and light blue Swarovski crystals. The coin-shaped owl beads, made in small batches in the Czech Republic, started out as opaque black base glass with an owl impressed into each side. A Picasso finish of mossy lichen colors was applied and then a turquoise blue wash was added. The blue wash settled into the recessed areas and “cracks” to highlight the details of the owl design, each side of the bead being a bit different. Since the owl beads are two sided, the earrings look charming from any angle when worn.  To perfectly complement the owl design and to add mega sparkle, faceted Swarovski crystal bicones were added to the top of the owl beads, separated by a small sterling silver bead. The color of the crystals is called “aquamarine shimmer.” The shimmer comes from a subtle iridescent finish that flashes pale purple, pinks and silver when the light hits the crystals just right.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TWILIGHT OWLS owl earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear one of a kind artisan bird jewelry with a boho vintage look.

Owl Earrings, Rustic Amber Turquoise Czech Glass Handmade Jewelry Gift


amber glass owl jewelry with turquoise picasso finish gift for her

The unique "Ulchabhán" handmade earrings were created with rustic amber Czech glass owl beads with a turquoise blue Picasso finish and sparkling Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for women.


With their glowing, rustic look, the ULCHABHÁN handmade dangle earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves unique owl jewelry. The whimsical, one of a kind beauties feature two sided Czech glass coin-shaped beads, Swarovski crystals and copper. The owl beads were made in the Czech Republic from rustic amber glass that positively glows (be sure to check out photos # 2 and # 7). While still in their molten state, an owl design was impressed into each side of the beads. To bring out the amazing details of the owls, a turquoise blue Picasso finish was applied and then polished off, leaving the blue finish in the recessed areas and the various “cracks” and “holes” that give an aged look to the beads. Because the owl beads are two sided, the earrings look charming from any angle.

To complement the owl coins perfectly and to add amazing sparkle, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was added to the top and bottom of each coin, separated by a glowing copper daisy spacer. Mimicking the rich indigo-blue of a variety of tourmaline, the crystal color is called “indicolite” and sparkles and flashes at each movement of the head when the earrings are worn. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the beauties. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ULCHABHÁN owl earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear unique artisan jewelry that can go from casual to boho dressy. “Ulchabhán” is Gaelic for “owls.”

white blue pink snowy owl earrings gift for women

The "Snowy Owls" handmade earrings feature artisan created, vintage look snowy owl charms and pink Swarovski crystals - perfect jewelry for the woman who loves owls.


Fabulous jewelry for the woman who loves owls, the one of a kind SNOWY OWLS earrings are eye catching with a definite vintage feel. Created with artisan snowy owl charms and pink Swarovski crystals, the lightweight earrings are sure to become a favorite!  The owl dangles look as if they are vintage jewelry pieces, but they are “faux vintage,” made to look well-loved. The charms were individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was applied and then the charms were sealed for years of wearing pleasure. The detailed image on each is a white snowy owl with a bit of pink rose peeping from behind against a peaceful blue background. Just look at the wisdom and majesty in the expression on the lovely owl’s face! Since the dangles were individually handmade, there are slight differences which add wonderful rustic, antique vibes. The back of the dangles is smooth, shiny copper which will gradually gain a patina over time. Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  Adding amazing sparkle and to complement the charms, highlighting the pink rose, two sizes of pink Swarovski crystal bicones were stacked above the owls. The color is a rich pink called “rose.” A single copper bead separates the larger crystal from the smaller one above. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SNOWY OWLS earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves the regal look of owls and loves to wear one of a kind artisan jewelry.
