Butterfly Wings Earrings, Black White Polymer Clay Handmade Jewelry

The "Zebra Swallowtail" handmade earrings feature artisan butterfly wing dangles, black Swarovski crystals and Tibetan agate - one of a kind jewelry gift for women.

The ZEBRA SWALLOWTAIL nature inspired handmade earrings are so very reminiscent of the wings of a butterfly when first emerging from its chrysalis after its magical transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly. Folded and crumpled and sometimes different sizes, these unique earrings capture that transformative moment forever. The one of a kind earrings feature lightweight, polymer clay butterfly wing dangles, Swarovski crystals and Tibetan agate. The beautifully patterned butterfly wings were artisan created from polymer clay in black, white and pink, inspired by an actual zebra swallowtail (minus the tail). The wings are two sided, folded, and one is just a bit bigger than the other by only about 2 mm. Because these lightweight beauties are two-sided, they look fabulous and intriguing from any angle.  To perfectly complement the butterfly wings, sparkling Swarovski crystal bicones in a color called “jet” black were used. A single small sterling silver bead separates it from a black and ivory Tibetan agate gemstone bead. The Tibetan agate is also faceted to add even more subtle glitter to the overall design.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ZEBRA SWALLOWTAIL butterfly wing earrings were created for the woman who loves the beauty of butterflies and adores wearing lightweight artisan jewelry.

The lightweight butterfly wing dangles were individually artisan handmade from black, white and pink polymer clay.

Rustic Wings Boho Earrings, Turquoise Copper Mint Handmade Jewelry Gift

The "Taos Trails" handmade earrings feature artisan made rustic wing dangles and frosted minty green lampwork beads with Czech glass coral discs and teal tri cut beads - boho jewelry for women.

Filled with the rich colors and ancient vibes of the Desert Southwest, the TAOS TRAILS handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who has an exuberant boho spirit. The richly colored earrings feature rustic wing dangles, artisan frosted minty green lampwork beads and coral and teal Czech glass beads. The two-sided organic wing dangles were individually artisan hand formed (in Taos) from lightweight white stoneware clay. Once they were air dried, they were hand painted with shades of turquoise; copper “stains” were added for an ancient patina feel. The pieces were kiln fired several times for strength and durability. The front has a wing design - maybe based on a dragonfly? The back is a totally different design - maybe based on beetle wings? Whatever inspired them, the dangles have such a wonderfully primitive feel to them. Since they were individually hand formed, you will notice that they are similar in design but not exactly the same, something that makes handmade so enjoyable!

To perfectly complement the lighter turquoise color of the rustic wings, minty green lampwork beads were added above, capped on the top and bottom by shiny copper daisy spacers. The minty lampwork glass beads, also artisan made, were etched for a soft, frosted sea glass look that positively captures and radiates glowing goodness. Stacked above the lampwork beads are two types of Czech glass. The first, to add a pop of unexpected color, are deep coral discs with a shiny silver wash. Next are sparkling teal tri-cut Czech beads with a rustic mossy green Picasso finish, separated from the discs by a copper daisy spacer. The unique earrings are finished with sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the TAOS TRAILS boho earrings were created for the woman who loves one of a kind, artisan earrings that no one else in the world has!
