Red Black Chunky Necklace, Magnesite Onyx Handmade Statement Jewelry


statement jewelry red magnesite black onyx sterling silver

The RED HOT handmade necklace features chunky red magnesite rounds and black onyx discs - unique artisan jewelry for women.


Big and bold and oh, so beautiful, the RED HOT handmade necklace surely will make a statement each and every time it is worn. Jewelry for the woman who loves to wear one of a kind designs and loves the color combination of red and black, the necklace features large red magnesite rounds, black onyx discs and sterling silver. The large rounds are magnesite, a gemstone that is naturally an off white color with brown veins. Since it takes a dye easily, you often can find it in various colors, including red. Eleven permanently dyed red magnesite rounds make up the front of the necklace. The color is a rich, eye-catching red, each stone with darker veining, some with more, some less. The finish of the gemstones is glossy, oftentimes reflecting the light.  So that the unique necklace drapes gracefully, a single, high shine black onyx disc is found between each red magnesite round. A 3 mm sterling silver bead is found on each side of the discs. Three groups of five black onyx discs finish the back of the necklace, each group separated by a sterling bead. To securely clasp the necklace, a lovely sterling silver hook clasp set with hammered texture was used. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the RED HOT necklace was created for the woman who loves to wear bold artisan statement jewelry.

Blue & White Boho Chic Dangle Earrings
- Artisan Tin Floral Charms, OOAK -

https://www.etsy.com/prettygonzo/listing/637031946/blue-white-earrings-for-women-boho-chic?ref=shop_home_active_8&frs=1

These unique boho chic earrings feature handcrafted floral tin charms, blue wooden rounds, white bone heishi spacers, and sterling silver elements. The highlight here is the pair of floral charms, which were artisan-upcycled from a vintage English tin. The artisan did a lovely job of smoothing the edges, and the result is a stylish, lightweight focal twosome. Their design is somewhat abstract and suggests budding white flowers against a blue sky.

To complement the blue and white of the focals, I chose the wooden rounds and bone spacers. Hidden inside the wood are Japanese seed beads, to keep the rounds straight on their earring pins. Sterling silver spacers and petalled bead caps add extra shine to the design.

The earring hooks are sterling silver, and decorated by me with clear Swarovski bicone crystals for a sparkling accent. The length here is approximately 2.25 inches, including the earrings hooks.

Elegant, earthy, and eye-catching, these one-of-a-kind boho chic earrings would make a lovely addition to any collection of statement jewelry. A perfect gift for women who love unique dangles, they were handmade beaded by me with care, thought, and best wishes for their destined wearer. They come on a PrettyGonzo earring card, all wrapped and ready for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself!
