Druzy Pendant Necklace, Fire Agate Red Garnet Earthy Handmade Jewelry


sparkling druzy pendant jewelry fire agate red garnet

The EARTH SONG handmade necklace features a glittering druzy pendant, faceted brown fire agate and red garnet - unique gemstone jewelry for women.

Even though the photos don’t show it, the one of a kind EARTH SONG handmade necklace is filled to the brim with eye-catching sparkle, something surely to sing about. The earthy necklace features an exquisitely glittering druzy agate pendant. Faceted brown fire agate, red garnet and sterling silver complement the druzy pendant perfectly. What is druzy? Druzy (or druse) refers to a coating of fine crystals over the surface of a rock cavity, usually within a geode or something similar. The druzy agate gemstone pendant is teardrop shaped and has a cavity running up the right side. The face of the pendant is absolutely covered in breathtaking, off-white crystals, looking as if someone sprinkled a thick layer of fine sugar crystals on it. And do the crystals sparkle and sparkle and then sparkle some more, shifting as the angle of light changes. The back of the pendant is smooth with the lovely natural pattern of the agate mother rock.  Adding glamor to the design and highlighting the pendant perfectly are faceted fire agate rounds and red garnet heishe along with sterling silver. A type of banded chalcedony that is famous for its intricate patterns, the colors of the fire agate range from black to root beer brown to pale beige.  Many of the stones are translucent and seem to capture the light.  In between each grouping of agates are three hand cut red garnet heishe. They are separated from the agate by small sterling beads.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the EARTH SONG gemstone necklace was created for the woman who is amazed at the unexpected treasures that can be found in the Earth and who adores wearing one of a kind, artisan jewelry.

Blue Flowers Hoop Earrings, Chrysanthemums Crystals Handmade Jewelry


blue flowers earrings fashion jewelry gift for women

The "Flores Azules" handmade earrings feature artisan blue flower on copper folded hoops and two colors of Swarovski crystals - floral jewelry for women.


If you have a real love for blue flowers and / or jewelry that highlights them, the FLORES AZULES handmade earrings are for you! The earrings feature vintage-look blue flower copper hoops and sparkling blue Swarovski crystals. Individually artisan handmade, the blue chrysanthemum flower images were permanently transferred to a length of copper sheeting and then folded into a hoop, the edges carefully filed and sanded for smoothness. The intricate floral design has old Victorian vibes and runs the full length of the hoop: the darker blue flowers on the front and lighter blue flowers on the back. To add even more blue to the earrings design, two shades and sizes of faceted blue Swarovski crystal bicones were stacked above the flower hoops. The larger light blue crystal is “light sapphire” blue; the smaller, darker crystal is “Montana sapphire.” Each crystal adds a huge dose of the spectacular sparkle that Swarovski crystals are famous for.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind FLORES AZULES earrings were created for the woman who loves unique flower jewelry with a lovely vintage look. "Flores azules" is Spanish for "blue flowers."

Wedding Bride Earrings, Frosted Lampwork Crystals Handmade Jewelry


wedding bride earrings



Just as the name implies, the STAR LIGHT handmade earrings are sparkling and magical, perfect for a bride to wear on her wedding day or when a glittering daily pick-me-up is needed! The unique dangle earrings were created with individually artisan created lampwork clear glass beads that were etched for a velvety, frosted, sea glass look, giving them a soft, pale ivory color. Adding even more interest and a fun texture to the lampwork beads, fine silver dots were applied around the middle of the beads when the glass was still molten hot, reminiscent of bright moons orbiting a frosty white planet. Capping the top and bottom of the frosted lampwork beads are shiny silver over pewter bead caps with a flower petal design - perfect for the romantic touch to the overall earring design.

Stacked on top of the lampwork beads are Czech crystal rondelles that sparkle at every movement of the head. As the angle of the light changes, so does the angle of the amazing glitter of the crystals. As if the earrings needed even more shimmering goodness, nestled into the top of each rondelle is a single 4 mm faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a clear crystal color. Another clear Swarovski bicone was added to each earwire. Just imagine how these earrings will flash and glow on your ears each time they are worn! The STAR LIGHT earrings were designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for the bride who loves to wear elegant, eye catching artisan jewelry.

*** Please note:  Given enough time, sets of these earrings can be created for bridesmaids. Because of the handmade nature of the lampwork beads, the earrings will be very similar but also a bit different with the placing of the fine silver dots and lines.
