Sun Charm Dangle Earrings, Mykonos Turquoise Yellow Handmade Jewelry

The Sun's Rays handmade earrings feature Mykonos sun charms with a turquoise green patina and two colors and shapes of Czech glass beads - unique jewelry for women.

The cheerful SUN’S RAYS handmade earrings are perfect to wear all spring and summer long! Wonderful jewelry for the sun worshiper, these beauties feature rustic Mykonos sun charms and two colors and shapes of Czech glass beads. The unique raised sun charms were made on the Greek island of Mykonos, cast by artisans there. The metal is lead and nickel free, plated in copper and then given a gorgeous turquoise blue green patina. The charms were then hand buffed to bring out the beauty of the raised rays of the sun design. The back of each charm is finished with a dark patina.  Perfectly complementing the sun charms are Czech glass beads. The first are rondelles in an eye catching milky opal aqua blue glass with a earthy brown Picasso bringing out the ridges on each end. The beads are faceted around the middle for subtle sparkle. Because they are translucent, the beads absolutely glow when worn. Stacked above them, separated by a single copper disc spacer, are cheery sunflower yellow Czech glass rondelles. Also faceted and translucent, they add unexpected sunny color to the overall earrings design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the fun SUN’S RAYS earrings were created for the woman who loves one of a kind artisan jewelry.

The beautiful sun charms were made on the Greek island of Mykonos - a turquoise green patina highlights the polished raised rays of the charms.

Boho Sun Earrings, Orange Red Green Handmade Enamel Jewelry Gift

The "Santa Fe Suns" earrings feature colorful enamel half sun charms, Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver earwires. 

Filled to the brim with vivid boho vibes, the colorful SANTA FE SUNS handmade earrings will positively cheer you up every time you put the beauties on! The lightweight, one of a kind earrings feature enameled half sun charms, Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver. The colorful sun charms were individually handmade, starting out as copper blanks in a five-rayed half sun design. Enamel glass powders in orange, red and green were permanently fused to the copper blanks using a high temperature butane torch. The back side of the charms was fused with black glass powders. As you can see in the photos, the colors are Santa Fe vibrant and the finish is extremely glossy. Perfect jewelry for those long summer days!

The artisan enamelled half suns are colorful with orange, red and green for a definite boho look.

To give the colorful sun earrings great movement and sparkle at each turn of the head, five links of copper chain was used, connected to the charms with copper jump rings. Wire wrapped to the middle link of each chain is a mega-glitter faceted Swarovski crystal bicone. The color is called “fire opal,” a bright orange that shades to red, like the colors you might see in a fire. It’s a perfect complement to the orange and red found in the enamel sun charms. A pair of sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bicone accents finishes the unique earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind SANTA FE SUNS earrings were created for the woman who adores colorful artisan boho jewelry!
