Ishtar Star of Venus Earrings, Travertine Czech Beads Handmade Jewelry

The unique "Ishtar" handmade earrings feature Czech glass nine pointed star coins, Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver - goddess jewelry for women.

Do you love unique jewelry with ancient symbolism built right in? The ISHTAR handmade earrings are for you! The earthy, one of a kind beauties feature earthy travertine style Czech glass beads with an eight-pointed star, rich orange Czech glass beads, copper and sterling silver. The two-sided coin shaped Czech glass beads were created from orange glass with a stone like travertine finish in browns, dark gray, minty green and misty blue. While the glass was still molten, an eight-pointed star within a circle was impressed into each side. A gold Picasso finish was added to bring out the details of the star and the circle Since the Czech star beads are two sided, the earrings look wonderful from any angle. *** This particular star is a symbol of the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna which was later worshipped by the Babylonians, Assyrians and others under the name Ishtar, the Queen of Heaven. She was the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, war, justice, and political power. Because Ishtar was associated with the planet Venus, the star is also known as the Star of Venus.  To add a rich copper glow, intricate filigree flower petal bead caps were placed on the top and bottom of the star beads. Since all stars need sparkle and to perfectly complement the orange travertine look of the beads, a single faceted Swarovski crystal bicone bead, in an eye catching color called “Indian red,” caps each star bead.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind ISHTAR earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves to wear artisan created jewelry with ancient symbolism.

The beautiful Czech beads have an earthy travertine finish and gold Picasso finish with a nine pointed star in a circle impressed on each side.
