Dog Lover Earrings, Heart Paw Print Pearls Handmade Rescue Jewelry


dog lover earrings for women



If you are looking for a meaningful pair of dog paw print and hearts earrings, look no further than these PAW PRINTS ON THE HEART earrings! A perfect jewelry gift for the dog lover, the one of a kind earrings were created with copper paw print and heart charms, faceted white pearls and Czech glass. The oh-so-fun copper paw print and hearts charms were individually artisan made from pure copper. The design is a raised paw print in a recessed heart with a raised border, adding wonderful texture and a rustic look. The charms were given a dark patina, polished to bring out the detail and then sealed. They have a beautiful copper glow that photos can never show.

To add a rich look to the overall earrings design, faceted white cultured pearls and two shapes and colors of Czech glass were stacked above the copper charms. Faceted pearls are not something you see every day! The alluring pearls are a snow white with shimmering luster, the facets adding even more beauty to the look. Above each pearl, separated by a copper daisy spacer, is a Czech glass disc in an aqua opal milk glass color. The discs are translucent, adding exquisite glow when the earrings are worn. A ridged, dark teal Czech glass lantern bead tops each disc. The lantern beads were coated with a metallic copper Picasso finish and then polished, leaving the metallic finish at the bottom of the ridges, providing subtle shimmer to the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PAW PRINTS ON THE HEART earrings were created for the woman who loves her dog (s), especially if the four footed friends are rescues.

*** Please note: When sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the PAW PRINTS ON THE HEART earrings will be donated to an animal rescue group to care for the four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

Egyptian Ankh Statement Necklace
with Eye of Horus Life Symbol Amulet



This ankh necklace with Eye of Horus amulet would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves boho or tribal styling as well as meaningful jewelry with historical links. The ankh is an ancient symbol that stands for eternal life. Here it is used as a creative base for several Egyptian hieroglyphics, which are shown in relief on the front of the pendant and as etchings on the back. I've included close-ups of both sides among my shop listing's photographs. Central among those hieroglyphics is the Eye of Horus, which is featured on the amulet's front and shown in smaller form on the back. It symbolizes good health, protection, and royal power and represents the goddess Wadjet.

Meaningful, with ancient symbols, an inspirational depth, and tribal and boho elements, this ankh beaded necklace was handmade by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It is a piece that men would enjoy wearing as well as women, and that brings a positive message to all. It will arrive in an eco-friendly kraft-style box, wrapped and ready for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself!

 
  
About the Ankh Symbol
The ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol for eternal life, and it is a common element in the art of Egypt during the time of the pharaohs. It is also found on amulets from that historical period. This symbol appears in some ancient Mediterranean cultures as well. For example, in ancient Cyprus, ankhs appeared on coins and were used as a symbol for copper. The ankh enjoyed renewed popularity in the 1960s and is still popular today. It is a highly meaningful and positive element as well as an attractive shape in itself.


Thank you, everybody! Treats to the CPromo furpals from Gonze! :)

Birds Lotus Flower Pendant Necklace, Red Czech Glass Handmade Jewelry



birds and lotus flower necklace for women



Looking like an ancient Mesopotamian artefact, the pendant used as the focal of the BIRDS AND LOTUS handmade necklace is exquisite. Combined with two shapes and sizes of dark oxblood red fire polished Czech glass, the one of a kind necklace is one you’ll want to wear time and time again! The pendant was cast in glowing, lead free pewter here in the U.S. It has a unique shield shape and features two birds, probably ibises, facing a lotus blossom, all raised against the background for beautiful texture. A raised ornamental border with a palm design runs along the two long curved sides of the beautiful pendant. The bail used to connect the piece to the necklace was created with two four petaled flowers. The back of the pendant is smooth and shiny.


Birds and lotus flower jewelry for women gift idea



Since historians believe glassmaking was discovered about 4000 years ago in Mesopotamia, rustic looking Czech glass was used to perfectly highlight the pendant. The fire polished glass beads (see below to find out more about fire polishing) are primarily a rich, dark oxblood red but also have streaks of jet black and light to dark gray running through them for an aged look. Because of this, each bead is uniquely colored. Two shapes of red Czech glass were used: larger faceted rounds and smaller rice shaped beads. A beautifully textured lead free pewter toggle clasp set finishes the necklace perfectly. Created for the woman who loves one of a kind jewelry with an interesting “story” inspired from ancient times, the unique BIRDS AND LOTUS necklace was carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.

***What is “fire polishing?” A technique used for thousands of years, each bead was cut from a glass rod or tube which left sharp, rough edges and/or ends. To smooth the rough edges, the beads were “flamed” to the glass softening point where the the sharp edges are naturally “fire polished” to a smooth, glassy finish.

Here is the important information for the BIRDS AND LOTUS handmade necklace:

Birds and lotus shield pendant: app. 32 mm x 28 mm (at widest) x 2 mm; lead free pewter
Faceted Czech glass beads: app. 8 mm
Rice shaped Czech glass beads: app. 6 mm x 5 mm
Metal: lead free pewter and sterling silver
Clasp: textured pewter toggle clasp set

Sky Blue Silver Lampwork Dangle Earrings, Handmade Jewelry Gift Women



blue earrings for women



Your ears will receive a rich jolt of color each and every time you wear these stunningly beautiful blue dangle earrings! Both stylish and classic, the unique BLUE SKIES earrings feature artisan made lampwork beads individually created from shiny transparent sky blue glass. Each glass bead was wrapped around the middle with .999 fine silver, a whimsical look of silver dots that add great texture and sheen. Since each blue lampwork bead was handmade, you can see from the photos that the pattern of fine silver dots are similar but not the same. When worn, the glass sometimes looks lighter or darker depending on the angle of the light - whichever shade of blue is seen, however, the one of a kind earrings positively glow!


blue jewelry for women



To frame the sky blue glass, sterling silver daisy spacers were added to the top and bottom of each lampwork bead. To mimic the fine silver dots on the sky blue glass, glowing sterling silver beads in three different sizes were stacked on top. The sizes are, in order from bottom to top: 4 mm, 3 mm and 2 mm. All of the elements used in the earrings were strung on sterling silver headpins, carefully wire wrapped and connected to sterling French hook earwires. The glowing dangles are perfect to wear with your faded jeans and white shirt or with your favorite party dress. A perfect jewelry gift, the glowing BLUE SKIES earrings were designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for the woman who adores wearing one of a kind artisan jewelry that is not mass produced.

Bronze Lampwork Dangle Earrings, Boho Lavender and Orange Handmade Jewelry



exotic boho bronze and lampwork dangle earrings for women



If you adore unique, boho jewelry, you will truly adore the exotic looking CASABLANCA DREAMING handmade earrings. The beautiful, one of a kind earrings feature swirling solid bronze dangles set with a lavender crystal, lavender and orange lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals. The bronze dangles were artisan handmade from pur bronze. The flowing design in filled with arches, lines and dots reminiscent of the architecture detailing found in the bazaars, mosques and churches that might be found when wandering the streets of Casablanca. For added interest, a small lavender crystal was set under an arch, adding unexpected sparkle to the bronze dangles. The dangles are rounded diamond shape with slight curves in the long sides. The back of the dangles are mostly smooth. Since the bronze pieces were individually created, there dangles are very similar but there are slight differences as you can see in the photos.

To highlight the color of the bronze and the lavender crystal, lampwork glass beads and Swarovski crystals were stacked above the dangles. The lampwork beads were individually artisan created from a base of luscious medium orange glass with a layering of lavender glass frit. Some of the orange can be seen through the lavender, as well as the top and bottom of the beads. A “violet” purple Swarovski crystal, adding fun sparkle, sits above the glass beads, separated by a single copper daisy spacer. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CASABLANCA DREAMING earrings were created for the woman who loves a one of a kind, boho vibe to her jewelry.
