Sugar Skulls Earrings, Day of the Dead Halloween Enamel Pearls Jewelry

The "Calaveras de Colores" handmade earrings feature artisan enamel sugar skull dangles, teal freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals - Day of the Dead jewelry for women.

Since the CALAVERAS DE COLORES sugar skull earrings are so colorful, you just have to smile every time you look at them! Perfect jewelry for Day of the Dead or Halloween, the one of a kind earrings feature individually artisan handmade enamel sugar skull charms with teal pearls and pink Swarovski crystals. The unique cut out Dia de los Muertos skull dangles started out as copper blanks. Shiny white enamel glass powder was fused onto the front with a butane torch.  A stencil and more enamel glass powder was used to form the colorful design.  As you can see the colors are gorgeous: teal green around the eyes, pink flowers on the forehead, under the eyes and on the chin and a yellow starburst just above each eye. The upper lip of the skulls has seven vertical lines. Because the sugar skulls were individually hand enameled, they are very similar but not exactly the same, as the photos will show. The back of the charms are finished in black enamel. Despite the larger size of these earrings, the unique flower earrings are lightweight to wear.  Because the sugar skull charms are the main focal of the earrings, simple embellishments were used. Just above each skull is a rich, glowing teal green freshwater potato pearl (“potato” meaning they aren’t perfectly round) capped by copper disc spacers. Depending on the angle of the light, the color of the pearls will shift to a more blue teal. To add sparkle, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a color called “light rose” pink tops the earrings.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CALAVERAS DE COLORES lightweight dangle earrings are perfect jewelry accessories to add to your Halloween and Day of the Dead costume and festivities. AND they are GREAT for year round wear! “Calaveras de colores” is Spanish for “colorful skulls.” 

The colorful skull charms were individually artisan enameled - they are similar but also a bit different.

Silver Skulls Earrings, Swarovski Day of the Dead Halloween Jewelry

The "Silver Skulls" handmade earrings feature Swarovski crystal flatback skulls, Swarovski crystal bicones and sterling silver - jewelry for Day of the Dead, Halloween and all year long.

If you love jewelry with intense mega-sparkly, you’ll love these SILVER SKULLS handmade earrings! Perfect to wear for Halloween and Day of the Dead festivities - or year long - the earrings feature flatback silvery-colored Swarovski crystal skulls, faceted Swarovski crystal bicones and sterling silver. The skulls are sleek in design with molded eyes and nose for exquisite details and a multilayer crystal cut for incredible sparkle. The color is a rich, extra shimmery metallic finish called “crystal light chrome.” The silver finish is highly mirrored so they will reflect many colors when worn, sometimes several colors at once depending on the angle of the light. You can see that in several of the photos where the colors of the sky, a tree and/or my red t-shirt are reflected. So the flatback skulls crystals could be used for earrings, a sterling silver over pewter bail was applied to the back of each, adhered with industrial strength glue for permanency.  To add even more sparkle (as if the earrings needed it), the skulls were wire wrapped to 6 mm faceted Swarovski bicones. The color is “graphite,” a translucent charcoal color that perfectly complements the “crystal light chrome” color of the skulls. A small sterling silver bead caps the top and bottom of the bicones. Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SILVER SKULLS earrings were created for the woman who adores wearing sparkly, eye catching skull jewelry.

The color of the shimmering, reflective Swarovski crystal skulls is called crystal light chrome - it has mega sparkle.

Here's the important information for the SILVER SKULLS earrings: 

• Faceted Swarovski crystal flatback skulls: app. 14 mm x 11 mm, at widest (0.55” x 0.4”); crystal light chrome
• Faceted Swarovski crystal bicones: 6 mm; graphite
• Metal: sterling silver and silver over pewter (earrings bails)
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks
• Length: app. 2” / 5.1 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires

Swarovski Skull Earrings, Rainbow Halloween Day of the Dead Jewelry

The "Sparkling Skulls" handmade earrings feature Swarovski crystal skulls and Swarovski crystal bicones, both with an aurora borealis finish, for maximum sparkle!

If you are looking for a pair of maximum sparkle Halloween or Day of the Dead skull earrings, look no farther than these amazing jewelry beauties! The SPARKLING SKULLS handmade earrings feature two types of Swarovski crystals. The first are amazing Swarovski crystal flatback skulls. They are faceted and have a rainbow aurora borealis (AB) finish for great color shift depending on the angle of the light, as you can see in the photos (which certainly don’t do the earrings justice at all). Purples, pinks, reds, blues, teals, yellows and browns are just some of the colors that glitter and flash with a 3-dimensional feel at each slight movement of the head. Pewter bails (see photo # 9) were securely affixed to the back of the Swarovski skulls with industrial strength glue so the skulls could be wire wrapped with sterling wire to the upper part of the earrings.  More sparkle was added to the one of a kind earrings by adding more Swarovski crystals. The 6 mm bicones are a clear but have an AB finish added to ½ of the crystals for even more color shift to the earrings design.  Created for the woman who loves uniquely sparkling Halloween and Day of the Dead jewelry, the SPARKLING SKULLS earrings were carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.

The Swarovski crystal skulls are faceted and have an aurora borealis finish so they color shift at the slight movement.

• Swarovski crystal skulls: app. 14 mm x 11 mm; AB finish; pewter bails on back
• Swarovski crystal bicones: faceted 6 mm crystal AB bicones
• Metal: pewter (bails) and sterling silver
• Earwires: sterling silver French hooks
• Length: app. 2” / 5.1 cm measured from the top curve of the earwires
