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.

Red Poppies Flower Earrings, Red Coral Vintage Look Handmade Jewelry


lightweight red poppy flower dangle jewelry with red coral

The "Papaveri Rossi" handmade earrings feature artisan red poppy copper dangles and hand cut red coral discs - unique jewelry for the woman who loves flowers.


Beautiful for spring and summer wear, the charming PAPAVERI ROSSI handmade earrings have a lovely vintage feel to them. The one of a kind flower earrings feature artisan created red poppy charms that are reminiscent of faded Victorian botanical illustrations. Rustic red coral discs are a perfect pairing to the red poppies. The eye catching poppies dangles look as if they were upcycled from old cookie or tea tins - but they only mimic rustic vintage tins. The dangles were individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was applied for the faux tin look.  A field of red poppies against a creamy white background with green buds and stems are found on each charm. Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  The red poppy copper dangles are perfectly complemented with hand cut red coral discs stacked above them. Three discs were used, capped on the top and bottom with small copper daisy spacers. Because the red coral was hand cut, they are very similar in size and finish but are not exactly the same. A glowing copper bicone bead finishes the stack. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PAPAVERI ROSSI handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves flowers, especially eye catching red poppies. “Papaveri Rossi” is Italian for “red poppies.”

Red Poppies Christmas Earrings, Crystals Faux Vintage Handmade Jewelry


handmade christmas poppy earrings gift for women

The "Red Poppies" handmade earrings feature artisan made poppy charms from copper and red Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for women.


Filled with bright red floral charm, the RED POPPIES earrings are perfect to wear not only during the Christmas holidays, but also can be worn all year long. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan created rich red poppy charms with a vintage botanical look and sparkling red Swarovski crystals in two sizes and shapes. The eye catching poppy charms look as if they were upcycled from old cookie or tea tins. But they only mimic rustic vintage tins since they were individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was applied for the faux tin look and then the charms were sealed for years of wearing pleasure. The stars of the earrings are the individual red poppies with contrasting black centers that are found on each charm. A stem rises up from the left corner along with a poppy bud. On the right side, a Victorian architectural detail is found. Since the dangles were individually handmade, there are slight differences which add wonderful rustic vibes. Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  All Christmas jewelry (or year round jewelry for that matter!) needs more than a bit of incredible sparkle. To add that to the poppy earrings, two sizes and shapes of Swarovski crystals were stacked above the charms, separated by rustic copper daisy spacers. The color of the crystals is called “Siam,” a rich shade of translucent dark red.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the RED POPPIES earrings are perfect for the woman who loves unique Christmas jewelry . . . or just adores poppies!

Red Poppies Earrings, Flowers Copper Coral Handmade Valentine Jewelry


red poppies flower earrings gift for women



Perfect springtime flower jewelry that is also perfect for year long wear, the cheerful PRETTY POPPIES handmade earrings will put a smile on your face every time you wear them! The one of a kind earrings were created from artisan red poppy flower charms complemented by red coral and Swarovski crystals. The unique charms look like they were cut from old cookie or tea tins. But they only mimic vintage tins since they were hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was then applied: a field of perky red poppies with seed pods, green leaves and stems against an ivory background. Because the charms were individually handmade, they are very similar, but, if you look closely, you can see a bit of a difference. The back of the charms are glowing copper which will gradually gain a patina over time. Since the charms are made from copper, the earrings are extremely lightweight to wear.

To add simple finishing touches, red coral and Swarovski crystals were used. The red coral, a great complement to the red poppies, are small drum shaped. Each has a small dot of black pitting that is a natural part of coral. To add sparkle, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was stacked above each piece of coral, separated by a copper disc spacer. The color of the crystals is called “white opal,” a translucent creamy color with plenty of glitter. Sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PRETTY POPPIES artisan earrings are a perfect gift idea for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, a birthday or “just because.”
