Spiral Seashell Ceramic Earrings, Green Pink Purple Handmade Jewelry

The "Spiraling Away" handmade earrings were created with artisan ceramic spiral seashell drops, magenta pink roller beads and Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for women.

Spirals are some of the oldest geometric shapes found in ancient artwork the world over. They date back to at least the Neolithic period, thousands of years before writing. Spirals are also found in nature, such as on seashells as the unique SPIRALING AWAY earrings represent. The one of a kind beauties were created with artisan ceramic seashell dangles with a spiral on each, premium magenta pink and silver Czech glass roller beads, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The spiral drops were individually artisan hand formed with earthstone ceramic, and then kiln fired at high heat with a gloss glaze and bronze clay. A spiral seashell decal was applied and the drops were fired again with lustre. The back was scorched to a shimmery rainbow finish. As you can see, the purple / fuchsia spirals are very colorful against a green and pale lime green background. One spiral curves on way; one spirals the other way, almost a mirror image. Since the spiral drops were individually artisan created, they are very similar in design, but not exactly the same - something that is wonderful about handmade items!  To perfectly complement the gorgeous fuschia and purple in the spirals, Czech glass roller beads and Swarovski crystals were used. The premium roller beads are an eye catching magenta pink and clear glass mix. The center has a silver metallic finish which adds great depth to the beads. Since the roller beads are faceted, they add subtle sparkle to the design. Stacked on top of each roller bead, separated by a sterling silver daisy spacer, are super sparkly 6mm Swarovski crystals in a rich “amethyst” purple color. A 4 mm amethyst Swarovski crystals was added to the sterling silver French hook earwires for additional sparkle. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SPIRALING AWAY earrings were created for the woman who loves the meaning of spirals and enjoys wearing artisan created jewelry.

Southwest Spirals Earrings, Rustic Polymer Clay Turquoise Jewelry Gift

The "Desert Canyonlands" handmade earrings feature artisan polymer clay petroglyph spiral dangles, artisan  lampwork glass beads and genuine turquoise - unique jewelry for women.

Filled with the weathered, organic look of petroglyphs found in a deep canyon in the Desert Southwest, the DESERT CANYONLANDS are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves rustic looking, artisan jewelry. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan polymer clay dangles, artisan lampwork glass beads and genuine turquoise. The dangles were individually handmade from a single piece of white polymer clay, the swirling spiral design drawn freehand and then incised. The polymer clay was then cut in half, washed with dark brown and rusty copper acrylic pigments, and after the final curing, a crystal protectant was applied. Because the dangles are made from polymer clay, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  To perfectly complement the Southwest feel of the petroglyph design, speckled brown lampwork glass beads and genuine turquoise was used. The lampwork beads, also artisan handmade, were created from clear glass that was peppered with brown glass frit to make dots and splotches, perfect with the small dots on the polymer clay dangles. Stacked on the lampwork beads are genuine turquoise gemstone rounds, separated by copper daisy spacers. The turquoise has more of a greenish cast with a bit of pale brown. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique DESERT CANYONLANDS definitely evoke the spirit of the Desert Southwest for the woman who enjoys wearing artisan jewelry. 

The swirling polymer clay dangles were artisan handmade and inspired by Southwestern spiral petroglyphs.

Here's the important information for the DESERT CANYONLANDS earrings:
