Sparkly Amethyst Earrings with Violet Crystals
- Faceted Gemstone, Short Boho Chic Dressy Dangles -

https://www.etsy.com/prettygonzo/listing/703384824/genuine-amethyst-earrings-short-purple?ref=shop_home_feat_2&frs=1

These sweet amethyst earrings feature lovely faceted gemstones, Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver French hooks. The amethyst gemstone beads are nicely cut with small facets and tend to catch the light easily. They are partnered with pretty violet-colored Swarovski bicones, which bring a wonderful sparkle to the earrings and complement the shine of the gemstones. The sterling silver hooks add a further touch of elegance to the pair, and come with clear ear guards for better security when the earrings are worn.

To bring a boho chic quality to the styling here, I chose TierraCast cone-shaped bead caps and granulated rondelle spacers (both the caps and the spacers, were made in the USA). The bead caps are plated with rhodium and the rondelles are fine silver-on-pewter creations. Also included are Japanese seed beads, which I used to stabilize the rondelle spacers on the earring pins. The length of this pretty pair is 1 3/8" including the sterling hooks.

Sparkly and pretty in their boho chic elegance, these genuine amethyst earrings with sterling silver and violet crystals would make a perfect gift for anyone who loves the color purple. They would also be a sweet choice for wedding jewelry, especially as a gift for the maid of honor or mother of the bride. They were handmade by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for their destined wearer. The pair comes on a PrettyGonzo earrings card and wrapped in a nice organza bag, all set for gifting to someone special—including yourself!

ABOUT AMETHYST
A member of the quartz family, amethyst is traditionally regarded as a stone of protection that lowers stress and calms the mind. It is also believed to be a highly spiritual stone that nurtures inner peace and spiritual awareness. This gemstone has been appreciated since ancient times. The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek word "amethusos," which translates as "not drunk." Not surprisingly, among the wide range of healing properties attributed to the stone is the power to help people who have problems with alcohol and other substance addictions. Some people also believe that this gemstone confers beneficial effects on insomnia, poor digestion, arthritis, and headaches. It is associated with the crown chakra, and is the birthstone for February. Amethysts are actually crystals and often have inclusions, clouding, and other interesting elements to them, as well as various shadings of their distinctive purple color.

Sparkling clear rhinestones with silver cup chain went into making these large hoop earrings. Each earring is shaped into a hoop by hand with silver plated square wire. The cup chain is wire-wrapped one by one on to the hoop using a fine silver plated wire. You can see the details of the wire wrapping in photo 9. The earrings have sterling silver lever back ear wires for pierced ears.

The earrings dangle 2 1/2” (6.35 cm) long.

Pearl Dangle Earrings





I handcrafted these French hoop earrings using bronze color craft wire. I added pearls to headpins then attached them to a jumpring to hang beautifully from the ear wires.



2 inches long from the center (top) of the hoop (ear wire).

Thank you in advance for sharing!

Wedding Bride Earrings, Frosted Lampwork Crystals Handmade Jewelry


wedding bride earrings



Just as the name implies, the STAR LIGHT handmade earrings are sparkling and magical, perfect for a bride to wear on her wedding day or when a glittering daily pick-me-up is needed! The unique dangle earrings were created with individually artisan created lampwork clear glass beads that were etched for a velvety, frosted, sea glass look, giving them a soft, pale ivory color. Adding even more interest and a fun texture to the lampwork beads, fine silver dots were applied around the middle of the beads when the glass was still molten hot, reminiscent of bright moons orbiting a frosty white planet. Capping the top and bottom of the frosted lampwork beads are shiny silver over pewter bead caps with a flower petal design - perfect for the romantic touch to the overall earring design.

Stacked on top of the lampwork beads are Czech crystal rondelles that sparkle at every movement of the head. As the angle of the light changes, so does the angle of the amazing glitter of the crystals. As if the earrings needed even more shimmering goodness, nestled into the top of each rondelle is a single 4 mm faceted Swarovski crystal bicone in a clear crystal color. Another clear Swarovski bicone was added to each earwire. Just imagine how these earrings will flash and glow on your ears each time they are worn! The STAR LIGHT earrings were designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for the bride who loves to wear elegant, eye catching artisan jewelry.

*** Please note:  Given enough time, sets of these earrings can be created for bridesmaids. Because of the handmade nature of the lampwork beads, the earrings will be very similar but also a bit different with the placing of the fine silver dots and lines.
