Chakra Zuni Spirit Bear Necklace, Red Creek Jasper Rainbow Jewelry

 

The meaningful "Chakra Bear" necklace features an artisan handmade / hand painted spirit bear pendant, red creek jasper heishe and copper - unique gift for women.

Filled with the earthiness of the Desert Southwest and the mindfulness of yoga, the CHAKRA BEAR handmade necklace is a true jewelry beauty. The focal of the one of a kind necklace is a hand painted copper spirit bear which is perfectly complemented by red creek jasper heishe gemstones and copper beads. The Zuni-inspired bear pendant was artisan created from beginning to end from copper precious metal clay.  The copper pendant was given a darker patina and then polished to bring out the wavy line detailing on the bear’s body. The “wheel” near the bear’s belly was hand painted in meaningful chakra / rainbow colors. To keep the pendant bright and beautiful for years to come, it was coated with a glossy sealant.  Red creek jasper heishe highlights the beauty of the spirit bear pendant. As you can see in the photos, the natural earthy colors of the red creek jasper are breathtaking: burnt reds, sage greens, olive greens, tans, grays and mustard yellows. The small disc shaped heishe beads were hand cut so are not all exactly the same shape and size (although they are very close), something that adds rustic appeal to the necklace design. Copper bicone beads with small copper round beads were scattered through the heishe to keep the necklace with a sinuous flow.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CHAKRA BEAR necklace is a perfect gift for anyone who loves the Desert Southwest and loves the combination of yoga chakras with the symbolism of a spirit bear.

The artisan handmade spirit bear pendant was painted with chakra / rainbow colors.

The dangles are slightly curved and have a smooth back.

For eye catching sparkle, a faceted 6 mm “Siam” red Swarovski crystal bicone was nestled into each disc spacers. Sterling silver earwires with a copper bead accent finishes the unique earrings.

Rainbow Dichroic and Red Saturn Lampwork Earrings, Handmade Jewelry Gift

The unique "Saturn" handmade earrings feature artisan created red lampwork glass beads with a band of shimmering rainbow dichroic glass.

Even though they might look like it, the SATURN earrings weren’t discovered in deep space by the Hubble Telescope. They aren’t from a faraway galaxy but were handmade right here on planet Earth and are waiting for the perfect earthling to wear them! These one of a kind beauties feature artisan handmade lampwork glass beads in a Saturn shape and copper accents. The lampwork beads started out as individually created rich red glass rondelles. To add radiant mystery, a band of rainbow dichroic glass was added around the middle of each rondelle. The bands were then encased in clear glass for a 3-D effect. As you can see from the photos, the colors of the bands are brilliant and color shift depending on how the angle of the light hits the dichroic glass. The shimmering colors are the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Since each bead was individually artisan handmade, they are very similar but not exactly the same.

Red and copper is such a lovely color combination as these earrings surely show. Bright copper bead caps with a textured leafy design cap each end of the Saturn beads. Rustic copper discs and shiny copper bicones accent the top and bottom of each bead cap, adding even more texture. Sterling silver French hooks earwires with copper bicone bead accents finish the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SATURN lampwork beads were created for the woman who adores wearing jewelry that no one else in the universe has!
