Lavender Pink Boho Hoop Earrings, Enamel Flowers Handmade Jewelry Gift


handmade boho hoop earrings lavender purple peacock pearls

The "You Look Mauvelous" handmade earrings feature artisan cut out hoops and freshwater peacock pearls - unique boho jewelry for women.


Definitely for the woman who loves unique boho jewelry, the YOU LOOK MAUVELOUS handmade earrings are fun and flirty to wear, marvelous indeed!  The one of a kind, lightweight to wear beauties feature artisan enamel gogo hoops with circular cut out and a floral design and dot design. Large glowing peacock pearls are found above. Individually artisan made, the hoops started out as copper blanks with a cut out circle placed closer to the top of the hoops. Mauve-y lavender and pink enamel glass powder was fused onto the front of the hoops using a butane torch. A stencil and white glass powder was used to create five flower petals along the bottom of the cut out and a dot design at the top. Because the cut out hoops were individually hand enameled, they are very similar but also a bit different. The back of the hoops are finished with black enamel. A gorgeous freshwater peacock pearl is found above each enameled floral hoop. The pearls are a larger size and a scrumptious color to perfectly complement the colors of the hoops. As you can see in the photos, the pearls have a blue-gray body tone. What makes them a “peacock” pearl is their amazing radiance with a purple, pink and blue overtones, sometimes color shifting depending on the angle of the light. They are not perfectly round but more of a slight oval shape. A single copper disc spacer caps the top and bottom of each pearl. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the YOU LOOK MAUVELOUS earrings were created for the woman who has a tendency to wear uber-fun, one of a kind, artisan jewelry.

The patron saint of animals and the environment, St. Francis is probably one of the most venerated and beloved religious figures. To honor the saint, the exquisite INSTRUMENT OF YOUR PEACE necklace was created to emphasizes his compassion for animals. The one of a kind necklace features a vintage St. Francis pendant with a rustic patina. A deer and a dove of peace are also found. To complement the pendant, beautiful purple amethyst “dog bone” shaped gemstone beads and glowing small button peacock pearls were used, along with sterling silver. A meaningful jewelry gift for the woman, Catholic or not, who loves animals and who is concerned about animal welfare and the environment, the INSTRUMENT OF YOUR PEACE necklace was carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.

The meaningful INSTRUMENT OF YOUR PEACE St. Francis necklace was named after his “Peace Prayer.” Here is the first part of the beautiful prayer:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
