Heart Flowers Earrings, Valentines Purple Red Copper Handmade Jewelry
Beautiful for your sweetheart at any time of the year, these handmade BEI CUORI hearts and flowers earrings are a perfect gift for Valentines Day and Mother’s Day, especially for a woman who loves to grow flowers. The one of a kind earrings feature colorful artisan created copper dangles along with glowing etched Czech glass beads. The oh-so-pretty hearts and flower charms were artisan made from beginning to end from pure copper. The design is a partial daisy design in a heart, the flower raised to provide wonderful texture to the charms. To highlight the flowers, the charms were individually hand painted: a rich red for the floral disc and violet purple for the petals. To protect them for years of wearing pleasure, the charms were coated with a glass like resin finish.
Exquisitely complementing the colors of the hearts and flowers charms are etched Czech glass druk beads. The beads started out with a clear glass base, were etched for a rustic vibe and then partly coated with a dramatic metallic raspberry pink finish and / or a color shifting aurora borealis finish. The druk beads on the bottom have an aurora finish on about ⅓ of the beads, shifting in color from golden to blue to green and several others depending on the angle of the light. The upper beads have the metallic raspberry finish which has a mystic red to orange shift. Since the finishes are only on ⅓ of the beads, the earrings are constantly changing as the beads rotate. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the beautiful earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BEI CUORI hearts and flowers earrings will be a cherished jewelry gift for the woman who adores wearing one of a kind, artisan designed jewelry. “Bei cuori” is Italian for “beautiful hearts.”
