The Singing Beader

If you know someone who plays the French horn, this sterling silver French horn necklace is the perfect gift. If you play the instrument, show how much you enjoy doing so by purchasing this necklace for yourself. The white embossed gift box with a handmade insert card shown in the photo is included. It will be wrapped in music-themed paper. The style of the paper may vary. See the last photo.

I sell two sizes of French horn necklaces, this is the smaller version. This French horn is dimensional, two-sided, showing realistic features of the actual instrument. Photo 7 shows the opposite side. The French horn majestically dangles from its bell. The inside of the bell shows the sterling silver stamp of authenticity, shown in photo 9. The cable chain, spring style clasp, and all other parts of this necklace are sterling silver.

The French horn charm appears larger in photos than actual size. See all photos including those showing the size details.

The French horn measures 19 mm x 10 mm (approx. 3/4” long).

The horn (also known as the corno and French horn) is a brass instrument made of about 12-13 feet (3.7-4.0 m) of tubing wrapped into a coil with a flared bell. A musician who plays the horn is called a horn player (or less frequently, a hornist). In informal use, "horn" refers to nearly any wind instrument with a flared exit for the sound.

        Pink Waves Earrings, Brown Swarovski Valentines Handmade Jewelry Gift

         

        pink handmade earrings swarovski crystals

        The "Pink Wave" handmade earrings feature unique Czech glass coins and sparkling Swarovski crystals - one of a kind jewelry for her.

        If you are searching for a stylish pair of handmade earrings that are also very eye catching, the one of a kind PINK WAVES beauties are for you! Created from gorgeous Czech glass coins and mega-sparkle Swarovski crystals, they are a perfect Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day gift to be worn all year long. The Czech glass coins used as the focals are absolutely stunning. These particular beads are a coin shape created with a combination of clear and pink glass and a dimpled, textured edge. The pink glass is in a flowing, wave-like design with many hues, from light pink to dark pink. The clear glass accentuates the pink waves perfectly. Then, as if the Czech beads needed more beauty, an earthy brown Picasso finish was applied to the beads. It was then polished off the flat faces of the coins but left in the crevasses of the textured crust edges. Since the glass beads were made in very small batches, they are similar but not exactly the same - even the fronts and backs are a bit different - as you can see in the photos.  To add maximum sparkle to the earrings and perfectly complement the Czech coins, two colors and sizes of faceted Swarovski crystals bicones were used. The larger 6 mm Swarovski crystal is a color called “light Colorado topaz,” a warm, light brown shade. Stacked above, separated by a small copper bead, is a 4 mm crystal in a color called “rose,” a perfect shade of medium pink. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind PINK WAVES earrings were created for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry that no one else has!

              Lavender Lampwork Earrings, Turquoise Spring Summer Handmade Jewelry


              spring lavender handmade lampwork jewelry sterling silver

              The "Lavanda Primaverile" handmade earrings feature two sizes and colors of beautiful artisan lampwork glass beads - unique jewelry for women.

              Like a breath of sweet spring air, the LAVANDA PRIMAVERILE handmade dangle earrings are perfect to wear all spring and summer long. Jewelry with exquisite colors, the one of a kind earrings feature two kinds of artisan designed glass lampwork beads and sterling silver. The larger lampwork glass beads were individually artisan handmade with a base of turquoise blue. While the glass was still in its molten stage, a glass frit of lavender purple and shades of green was added, looking like lavender flowers peeking through green leaves against a turquoise blue sky. The finish of the beads is high glossy shine. A sterling silver daisy spacer caps the top and bottom of the lampwork beauties.  A smaller translucent lampwork bead sits on the larger glass bead, complementing it perfectly. The color is a soft lavender purple which highlights the lavender in the larger bead. The glass beads, also individually artisan made, have a matte sea glass finish which allows them to glow stunningly.  A single sterling silver daisy spacer sits on top of the glowing bead along with a 3 mm sterling bead. Two links of sterling box chain were added to provide a huge amount of flirty movement when worn. Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the lovely earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the LAVANDA PRIMAVERILE earrings were created for the woman who adores lavender and loves wearing one of a kind artisan jewelry. “Lavanda primaverile” is Italian for “spring lavender.”

              Brown And Red Wood Dangling Hoop Earrings, Retro Style, With Sterling Silver Ear Wires, Gift For Women


               Brown Wood And Red Resin Hoop Earrings

              The Singing Beader 


              The combination of wood and resin are a newer trend in handmade jewelry components. The lower part of the hoops in these earrings are natural wood and the upper part is a dark red resin. They are lightly varnished. Above the hoops, I teamed a wired section of matte brown glass beads and dark red faceted Czech glass beads. The beads match the hoops remarkably well. I'm glad I looked over my bead stash to find them! 


              The Czech beads give the earrings a hint of sparkle that will make them quite noticeable to onlookers. The earrings have sterling silver French style ear wires. Included are rubber clutches for a secure hold.


              Despite being made partially of wood, these earrings are super lightweight making them comfortable to wear. They would make a lovely gift, too. Included is a brown organza pouch.


              The earrings appear larger in photos that actual size because they are photographed close up. Please view all the photos including those showing size details with a ruler and coin.




              Earring length from the ear wire: 2 3/4”

              Wood and resin hoops: 28 mm x 28 mm x 3 mm

              Matte brown glass beads: 8 mm

              Dark red Czech glass beads: 3 mm x 4 mm


              These are one of a kind earrings. You will love having a pair of earrings no one else has!

              Viking Horse Necklace, Sleipnir Scrimshaw Onyx Norse Handmade Jewelry


              faux scrimshaw viking horse jewelry necklace

              The unique "Sleipnir" horse necklace features a Viking inspired polymer clay horse head pendant, black onyx discs and sterling silver - one of a kid jewelry for women.

              Perfect jewelry for the woman who loves horses and has more than a bit of Viking shield maiden in her, the SLEIPNIR handmade pendant necklace will surely draw attention whenever it is worn. The one of a kind necklace features a fiercely regal looking, artisan polymer clay horse head pendant, black onyx discs and sterling silver. The unique necklace is named after the eight-legged, stormy gray horse that the Norse god Odin always rode into battle.  Odin and Sleipnir also made frequent journeys through the Nine Worlds which were held in the branches and roots of the world-tree, Yggdrasil. The horse head pendant was hand sculpted from off white polymer clay to mimic carved bone scrimshaw.  To bring out the amazing details of the fierce face of the horse and his mane covered arched neck, a slate gray paint was added and then quickly rubbed off, leaving the paint in the recessed areas. A bit of light brown paint was added to "age" the pendant even more. The back of the pendant has a unique dragonscale design. Two heavy duty sterling silver jump rings secure the pendant to the main body of the necklace.  To perfectly complement the horse head pendant, two sizes of glossy black onyx discs were used. Five groups of three larger discs are found at the front of the necklace, each group separated by a 3 mm sterling silver bead. A fancy sterling silver melon bead separates the larger onyx discs from the smaller ones at the back. Groupings of the smaller discs are found on each side of the necklace, also separated by sterling silver beads. Since the black onyx discs were hand cut, they are very similar in size and shape but there are also some slight variations. The necklace is finished with a sleek sterling silver toggle clasp set. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique SLEIPNIR horse pendant necklace will be a wonderful gift for the woman who loves Viking mythology and regal horses.

              Pantone Colors of the Year




              Thought I'd share this in case you follow Pantone's Color of the Year.  This year they chose two colors.  Can't say I'm much impressed with one of the two colors.  The "Illuminating" yellow is bright and cheerful.  But I'm so tired of grays like their "Ultimate Gray."  To me gray is depressing.  Have seen so many people the last several years painting the walls of their rooms gray.  Ugh!  After a year like 2020, I want FUN color!  Maybe it's just me . . . LOL!







              I do find, however, MANY of the Pantone colors for Spring and Summer to be fun and cheerful!  Here's a link to see the full collection:











               

              Dog Cat Paw Prints Hearts Earrings, Copper Red Aqua Handmade Jewelry


              dog lover cat lover handmade jewelry

              The adorable "Best Buddy" earrings feature artisan copper paw print in hearts charms with red and aqua amber faceted Czech glass beads - dog and cat lover jewelry.

              If you are looking for a meaningful dog or cat paw prints and hearts jewelry, look no further than these adorable BEST BUDDY earrings! A perfect jewelry gift for the dog and cat lover, the one of a kind earrings were created with copper paw print on heart charms and two colors of faceted Czech glass rondelles. The oh-so-fun copper square-shaped charms were individually artisan made from beginning to end with pure copper. The design is a raised paw print in a recessed heart. The area around the hearts is also raised, adding wonderful texture. To add 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. Since the dog and cat lover charms were individually artisan created, as you can see in the photos, they are very similar but not exactly the same. To add a rich look and a pop of color to the overall earrings design, two colors and sizes of faceted Czech glass rondelles were used: red beads and aqua / amber beads. Since they are both faceted, subtle sparkle is added to the design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BEST BUDDY earrings were created for the woman who loves unique artisan jewelry and loves her dog (s) and / or cat (s), especially if the four footed buddies are rescues.

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