Woof Dog Lover Earrings, Copper Aqua Opal Pink Handmade Jewelry Gift
The meaningful WOOF! handmade earrings are perfect for anybody who adores their dog, especially if their sweetie is a rescue. One of a kind earrings, they feature artisan made copper dangles and two luscious colors of faceted Czech glass. The highlight of the dog rescue earrings are the oh-so-fun copper woof rectangle charms. The charms were individually artisan handmade from beginning to end from copper precious metal clay. Each slightly curved dangle was imprinted with a single word, “woof,” that is recessed from the background. To add an antiqued look, the dangles were heated with a butane torch to bring out the rich patina of the copper. The back of each dangle is slightly textured. To add exquisite beauty and wonderful to the earrings design, two luxurious colors and shapes of Czech glass beads were stacked above the woof dangles. The larger rondelle-shaped bead was made from shimmering aqua opal glass that positively glows in the light. An earthy brownish tan Picasso finish coats both ends of the beads for a somewhat rustic look. Above the aqua opal bead, separated by a copper disc spacer, is a translucent Czech glass bead in a juicy color called opal pink rosewood. Since both Czech glass beads are faceted, they provide wonderful sparkle to the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the WOOF! Earrings are a perfect gift for the special woman who loves one of a kind, artisan jewelry designs and adores dogs.
*** Please note: when sold, one half (1/2) of the purchase price of the WOOF! earrings will be donated to an animal rescue organization to help care for the beautiful four footed souls waiting for their furever home.

Red Black Chunky Necklace, Magnesite Onyx Handmade Statement Jewelry
Big and bold and oh, so beautiful, the RED HOT handmade necklace surely will make a statement each and every time it is worn. Jewelry for the woman who loves to wear one of a kind designs and loves the color combination of red and black, the necklace features large red magnesite rounds, black onyx discs and sterling silver. The large rounds are magnesite, a gemstone that is naturally an off white color with brown veins. Since it takes a dye easily, you often can find it in various colors, including red. Eleven permanently dyed red magnesite rounds make up the front of the necklace. The color is a rich, eye-catching red, each stone with darker veining, some with more, some less. The finish of the gemstones is glossy, oftentimes reflecting the light. So that the unique necklace drapes gracefully, a single, high shine black onyx disc is found between each red magnesite round. A 3 mm sterling silver bead is found on each side of the discs. Three groups of five black onyx discs finish the back of the necklace, each group separated by a sterling bead. To securely clasp the necklace, a lovely sterling silver hook clasp set with hammered texture was used. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the RED HOT necklace was created for the woman who loves to wear bold artisan statement jewelry.
- Red magnesite rounds: app. 22 mm (0.87”); permanently dyed
- Black onyx discs: app. 7 mm x 4 mm (0.28” x 0.16”)
- Metal: sterling silver
- Clasp: textured hook clasp set
- Length: app. 19.5” / 49.5 cm although, due to the size of the red magnesite rounds, the length will wear more like an 18.5” / 47 cm necklace

Quatrefoil Key Earrings Silver Pewter With Clear AB Crystals
These key earrings feature TierraCast silver plated pewter key charms with a quatrefoil four lobe design. Quatrefoil four lobe is an ornamental design of four lobes or leaves that resemble a flower or four-leaf clover. The design is usually found in art or architecture that was popular in Gothic and Renaissance eras. The key charms are double-sided, the same on both sides. See the length of earrings below.
For a unique, one of a kind pair of key earrings, I added dressy, sparkling Swarovski AB (Aurora Borealis) clear bicone crystals. Aurora borealis creates a beautiful iridescent sheen. The finish is meant to pick up and reflect the colors around it. The crystals are hugged in silver-plated pewter etched rondells. See the close up photo of these magnificent crystals and rondells. The secure holding lever-back ear wires and jump ring attachments are .925 sterling silver.
See all 10 photos including those showing the size details.
The earrings dangle: 2 3/4” (approx.)
The keys alone measure 32 mm x 12 mm (1 1/4” x 1/2” approx.)
Swarovski crystals: 6 mm
Silver-plated pewter rondells: 4 mm x 2 mm
A beautiful gift for one who likes Gothic or Renaissance era designs.
A lovely organza gift pouch is included.
Shipped USPS first class with insurance coverage.

Lotus Flower Earrings, Mint Green Sea Glass Handmade Yoga Jewelry Gift
These beautiful NOBLE LOTUS flower earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the spiritual woman who practices yoga and / or meditates. Lotus blossoms symbolize enlightenment, purity and rebirth in many cultures and religions, so these one of a kind beauties will be ones she’ll reach for time and time again. Czech glass lotus beads are featured in the handmade earrings and are combined with glittering Swarovski crystals, copper and sterling silver. A lovely multi-petal lotus flower design was impressed into minty green and clear glass coin beads. The translucent glass was given a matte finish for a glowing sea glass look. To bring out the beautiful details of the lotus blossom and the rustic small pits and “cracks,” a metallic bronze Picasso finish was applied which settled into the recessed areas. Since the lotus coin beads are two sided, the yoga earrings look fabulous from any angle. To add an even more beauty to the elegant earring design, a faceted Swarovski crystal bicone was added to the top of each lotus bead, separated by a small copper disc spacer. The color of the crystals is called “peridot,” a peaceful shade of green evoking the spirit of nature. All of the components used to make the earrings were strung on handmade (by me) copper headpins with a hand hammered loop at the bottom. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the NOBLE LOTUS blossom will be a much loved gift for the woman who meditates, practices yoga and just loves to wear meaningful, one of a kind jewelry designs!
- Mint green Czech glass lotus blossom coin beads: app. 18 mm x 4 mm (0.71”); metallic bronze Picasso finish
- Swarovski crystals: faceted 6 mm peridot bicones
- Metal: copper and sterling silver
- Earwires: sterling silver French hooks with copper bead accents
- Length: app. 2” / 5.1 cm measured from the top curve of the sterling earwires
