Purple Larkspur Lampwork Earrings, White Handmade Glass Jewelry Gift


lampwork glass earrings in purple green white

The beautiful "Larkspur" handmade earrings feature two different artisan made lampwork glass beads and sterling silver - unique jewelry gift for women.


A pair of purple, green and white lampwork glass beads perfectly teamed with speckled purple lampwork beads create these intriguing handmade earrings, named LARKSPUR after a beautiful purple flower. Eye catching, one of a kind earrings for spring and summer wear, they will make a lovely floral inspired jewelry gift for Easter, Mother’s Day, a birthday . . . or just because. The individually artisan handmade lampwork glass beads started out as opaque white glass. While still in their molten stage, dark purple, lavender and green glass frit was added to give the enchanting speckled look, so reminiscent of the purples and greens of a field of blooming larkspur. Unique elongated diamond shaped sterling silver spacers cap the and bottom of the lampwork glass beads.  Stacked on top of each lampwork bead is another lampwork bead, also artisan handmade, this time a rich purple color with flecks of fuchsia. The gorgeous beads started out as transparent clear glass. Then violet purple and fuchsia pink glass frit was added to create random dots and splotches. These beds are translucent and positively glow when the earrings are worn. An elongated diamond sterling spacer caps each purple bead along with a 3 mm sterling bead. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind LARKSPUR earrings are perfect for the woman who loves flower gardens, loves the color purple and loves unique artisan jewelry.

        Crochet Afghan Blanket, Earth Ombre, Handmade Throw, Unisex Gift



         Crochet Afghan


        This gorgeous crochet afghan blanket 100% acrylic in the color earth ombre. It is 40 inches wide and 52 inches long. The earth ombre color gives it a warm, cozy look making it a great handmade throw for a cabin or hunting lodge.

         Earth Ombre


        The stitch used is a double crochet cross-stitch. This means that one stitch crosses over three stitches. This causes the back of the afghan to have a waffle look. Therefore, it looks great on both sides.

         Handmade Throw


        A crochet afghan (blanket) will be a great housewarming gift or a gift for a college student moving into a dorm. This handmade throw will also make a great gift for Christmas. This crochet afghan blanket will be a great unisex gift. If you want to be ready when you need a nice gift this handmade throw will be perfect. It can be given to an elderly person or to someone grieving to give a little comfort.

        Mother of Pearl Rose Necklace, Purple Pearls Handmade Flower Jewelry


        mother of pearl rose flower necklace gift for women

        The "Garden of the Ocean" handmade necklace features a glowing hand carved mother of pearl rose pendant, purple pearls, pewter lantern beads and sterling silver - gift idea for women.


        With a radiant mother of pearl shell flower pendant, the GARDEN OF THE OCEAN handmade necklace makes an absolutely delightful statement whenever worn. The one of a kind necklace features a glowing white mother of pearl carved pendant, rich purple baroque pearls and lead free pewter lantern beads. A beautiful hand carved rose with flowing petals and a stem with two leaves can be found in the middle of the mother of pearl pendant. A line was carved all along the outer edge. Because of the carving, the pendant has beautiful texture which is highlighted when the light hits it just right. Unfortunately, the photos don’t show just how luminous the natural radiance of the shell is as the light plays across it.  The back is silky smooth and slightly concave. To highlight the pendant perfectly, rich purple freshwater pearls make up the main body of the necklace. Since the large beauties are more oval shape, with many having natural ridges, they are called baroque pearls. Between each set of three pearls at the front of the necklace are glowing pewter lantern beads separated by sterling silver daisy spacers and small sterling beads. Each pearl is separated from the other with sterling silver beads for a sinuous feel. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the GARDEN OF THE OCEAN necklace is a lovely gift for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry.

        Large Violin Zipper Pull, Large Clasp Zipper Pull, Silver Violin Key Fob, Music Accessories, Violinist Gift, Music Gifts, Music Zipper Pull


        This handmade zipper pull has a sturdy, silver-tone, lead, and nickel-free large violin charm. Its front surface has raised strings, sound holes, the bridge, and tailpiece. The back has some texture but is smooth to the touch.

        To make this zipper pull a long length, I wired together with a melon-shaped bead, two silver-plated large hole beads, and two smaller silver-plated beads. The large silver-plated lobster clasp is securely fastened to the top with a silver-plated split ring.

        The lobster clasp is large enough to clip-on to most zippers, plus it can be clipped on a standard sized key ring so that the zipper pull can also be used as a key-fob. See the size of each of the components and the total length of the zipper pull below.

        The zipper pull comes packaged on black card stock that is wrapped in music-themed paper. The style of paper may vary. See the last photo. The other photos show the size details including two with a ruler, one in model's hand, and one with a quarter.







        Total length of zipper pull: 4 3/4”
        Violin: 2 1/8” x 3/4”
        Melon-shaped bead: 10 mm x 9 mm

        Boho Wrap Bracelet-Necklace with Earrings
        - Czech Glass & Pearls, Nature Theme for Springtime -

        none

        This boho wrap bracelet necklace and its matching freshwater pearl hoop earrings make a lovely nature-inspired set for anyone looking for stylishly fun and versatile jewelry. The main piece can be worn as a triple-wrap bracelet or as a single strand necklace. Its central feature is a group of Czech beads that includes a purple Mayan sun disk, green leaf beads, purple sunburst ovals, and pink and white rondelles. These are handmade beads from the Czech Republic, with the purple beads given rustic accents by earthy Picasso finishing.

        The cheerfully pink freshwater pearls of this piece are top-drilled and referred to as "dancing pearls." Also included are organic seed spacer beads, a pretty TierraCast toggle clasp, rhodium-plated jump rings, blushed brown glass seed beads, and several sterling silver components. The latter include sterling rondelle spacers, wire guards, and twist crimps. All the components were made in Italy or the USA. The beading wire is high-quality 49-strand Beadalon (made in the USA), and the length of the wrap bracelet necklace is approximately 22.5 inches. My wrist is 6 and 3/4 inches, and this fits it perfectly.

        This nature-inspired wrap bracelet includes a sweet pair of hoop earrings with freshwater pearls, sterling silver round beads, pink and white Czech glass rondelles, and sterling silver earring hooks. The hoops are made from beading wire and are held secure by sterling silver crimps with sterling covers. The pink pearls are spaced out by the small sterling rounds. The earrings come with clear ear guards for better security when worn.

        This boho wrap bracelet necklace and earrings jewelry set was handmade by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It comes in an eco-friendly box, all wrapped up and ready for gifting to a special nature lover—perhaps you!

              Colorful Valentines Hearts Earrings, Enamel Crystals Handmade Jewelry


              pink white red green black and blue enamel valentines heart earrings

              The "Crazy Hearts" handmade earrings feature colorful artisan created enamel hearts, pink roller beads and Swarovski crystals - unique Valentine's Day jewelry for women.


              Perfect for the woman who doesn’t want “just any” Valentine’s Day jewelry, the CRAZY HEARTS one of a kind earrings are definitely eye-catchers and sure to please! These uniquely colorful beauties were created with individually artisan handmade enamel heart charms. Pink Czech glass roller beads and glittering Swarovski crystals highlight the fun. Starting out as copper blanks, the hearts were carefully layered with enamel glass powder and fused onto the copper with a high temperature butane torch. The base is shiny white enamel with tiny black dots. Circles and dots in pink, green, blue, red and yellow outlined in black are scattered over the hearts. To add even more fun, the hearts are similar but also very different in design. The back of the hearts are finished in shiny black enamel.  To perfectly complement the enamel heart dangles, premium pink Czech glass roller beads and sparkling Swarovski crystals were used. The faceted roller beads were created from a combination of various shades of pink and clear glass around a metallic copper center. Because of the metallic finish in the center, the roller beads positively glow!  And talking about sparkle, a single Swarovski crystal was nestled into the top of the roller beads. The crystals are clear but they have an aurora borealis (AB) finish so flashes of rainbow colors are mesmerizing (colors the photos hardly pick up).  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind CRAZY HEARTS earrings are a perfect Valentine’s Day / Mother’s Day / birthday jewelry gift for the woman who loves to flaunt vibrant designer jewelry.
