Bird Lover Earrings, Boho Blue White Vintage Look Handmade Jewelry

The fun "Birds of a Feather" earrings featured artisan bird charm dangles, translucent amber Czech glass beads, copper and sterling silver - unique bird jewelry for women.


Looking for fun handmade jewelry for the woman who loves birds and / or is a birder? These one of a kind BIRDS OF A FEATHER earrings are perfect, guaranteed to make the recipient smile! Created with sweet copper bird charm dangles, unique Czech glass beads, copper and sterling silver, they will quickly become favorites for the bird lover on your gift list. The delightful bird dangles look as if they are vintage jewelry pieces, but they are “faux vintage,” made to look well-worn and well-loved. The charms were created from modern copper: individually hand cut into a round shape, filed for silky smooth edges and sanded. A permanent metal transfer was applied and then the charms were sealed for years of wearing pleasure. The image on both charms is a colorful bird against an “antiqued” white background. The colorful dotted birds have a medium blue breast, stomach and tale, wings that shade from a pale to dark brown and a pale blue head. Both birds are facing the same way, to the left. Since the bird charms were individually handmade, there are slight differences which add wonderful rustic, antique vibes. The backside of the dangles are shiny copper. These earrings are VERY lightweight to wear.  

To perfectly highlight the charms, especially the color of the wings of the birds, translucent golden amber brown Czech glass beads hang above the dangles. The beads are an unusual shape, like a slightly smashed oval with a hole in a concave center. To give an aged look, a permanent Picasso finish was applied with a darker amber color and pale mossy lichen green. Because the beads are translucent, they positively glow when worn. The Czech beads are connected to bird charms by a heavy duty copper jump ring. They are rustically wire wrapped with copper wire to attach to sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the happy-looking BIRDS OF A FEATHER earrings were created for the woman who loves wearing lightweight artisan jewelry with a bird theme.

Red Poppies Flower Earrings, Red Coral Vintage Look Handmade Jewelry


lightweight red poppy flower dangle jewelry with red coral

The "Papaveri Rossi" handmade earrings feature artisan red poppy copper dangles and hand cut red coral discs - unique jewelry for the woman who loves flowers.


Beautiful for spring and summer wear, the charming PAPAVERI ROSSI handmade earrings have a lovely vintage feel to them. The one of a kind flower earrings feature artisan created red poppy charms that are reminiscent of faded Victorian botanical illustrations. Rustic red coral discs are a perfect pairing to the red poppies. The eye catching poppies dangles look as if they were upcycled from old cookie or tea tins - but they only mimic rustic vintage tins. The dangles were individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was applied for the faux tin look.  A field of red poppies against a creamy white background with green buds and stems are found on each charm. Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  The red poppy copper dangles are perfectly complemented with hand cut red coral discs stacked above them. Three discs were used, capped on the top and bottom with small copper daisy spacers. Because the red coral was hand cut, they are very similar in size and finish but are not exactly the same. A glowing copper bicone bead finishes the stack. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PAPAVERI ROSSI handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves flowers, especially eye catching red poppies. “Papaveri Rossi” is Italian for “red poppies.”

Red Poppies Christmas Earrings, Crystals Faux Vintage Handmade Jewelry


handmade christmas poppy earrings gift for women

The "Red Poppies" handmade earrings feature artisan made poppy charms from copper and red Swarovski crystals - unique jewelry for women.


Filled with bright red floral charm, the RED POPPIES earrings are perfect to wear not only during the Christmas holidays, but also can be worn all year long. The one of a kind earrings feature artisan created rich red poppy charms with a vintage botanical look and sparkling red Swarovski crystals in two sizes and shapes. The eye catching poppy charms look as if they were upcycled from old cookie or tea tins. But they only mimic rustic vintage tins since they were individually hand cut, filed and sanded from modern copper. A permanent metal transfer was applied for the faux tin look and then the charms were sealed for years of wearing pleasure. The stars of the earrings are the individual red poppies with contrasting black centers that are found on each charm. A stem rises up from the left corner along with a poppy bud. On the right side, a Victorian architectural detail is found. Since the dangles were individually handmade, there are slight differences which add wonderful rustic vibes. Because the charms are made from copper, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.  All Christmas jewelry (or year round jewelry for that matter!) needs more than a bit of incredible sparkle. To add that to the poppy earrings, two sizes and shapes of Swarovski crystals were stacked above the charms, separated by rustic copper daisy spacers. The color of the crystals is called “Siam,” a rich shade of translucent dark red.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the RED POPPIES earrings are perfect for the woman who loves unique Christmas jewelry . . . or just adores poppies!
