Bronze Spirals and Dichroic Pendant Necklace, Nepal Sherpa Glass Handmade Jewelry


spiral and dichroic pendant necklace for women



The ANCIENT VOICES handmade pendant necklace is definitely a piece of jewelry filled with beauty and wonder! The one of a kind necklace features a bronze pendant covered in swirling spirals and a glowing dichroic glass cabochon, vintage Nepali Sherpa glass tube beads, black onyx and copper. The pendant was artisan crafted from pure bronze and is covered with spirals, an ancient, sacred symbol that represents the unfolding changes during the journey of life. Centered in the middle of the pendant is a magical looking dichroic glass cabochon that capture the light and radiates many colors: aqua, turquoise, dark navy blue, grass green, orange, pink, white and other colors depending on how the angle of the light hits the glass.

To perfectly complement the bronze pendant, turquoise blue and black glass tube beads and two sizes (5 mm and 3 mm) of round black onyx gemstones were used. The vintage tube beads were individually handmade from recycled glass by Sherpas in Nepal - just imagine the hands that made these wondrous beads! Since the beads were fire cured, they have a gorgeous, organic look. Because of the handmade nature, each vintage Sherpa bead is slightly different in size and shape, so they don’t lay in a “perfect” line, as you can see in the photos, giving a wonderfully rustic flair to the design. Between each group of Sherpa beads is a single round 5 mm black onyx gemstone capped on each end with a small copper disc spacer. The smaller black onyx beads and a copper toggle clasp set finishes the back of the unique necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ANCIENT VOICES necklace was created for the women who treasures and oves to wear one of a kind, artisan jewelry with a story.

Stained Glass Quilt Square 6.5" Log Cabin Appalachian Traditional Quilt Pattern in Shades of Green  $62.00

This 6.5 inch square handmade stained glass window hanging is created in the traditional Appalachian style using the Log Cabin pattern. The interlocking shades and textures in greens work beautifully together to form the quilt square. I used a variety of different glasses to create this traditional pattern, just like something right off the top of Grandma's quilt! The varied strips of glass have textures that capture the light in interesting ways. The fascinating center square is made from Bullseye "Fracture Streamer" glass and has thin bits of white confetti glass and tiny, clear rods fused into clear glass.

Etsy Item

This decorative stained glass window hanging was constructed by using the copper foil method that was developed by L.C. Tiffany at the turn of the 20th century. The solder has been finished with a copper patina.

The photos above were taken in front of a window with natural light, on a snowy day. Colors and lighting on the textures will change with whatever is in the background and the time of day.

The stained glass quilt square is framed in copper came and has hanging loops at the top for attaching wire, chain or clear filament. Please be aware that UV can break down any plastic hanging filament and you should periodically replace the filament. Do not hang this stained glass by a suction cup as they tend to give way after a time and the piece may fall and break. I recommend copper jack chain for hanging, which is available as an additional option and looks great with the frame. If you order the quilt square with the copper chain, I will be happy to attach it for you or, if you prefer, I can leave open loops for easy hanging.

Easter Island Face Mask Earrings, Aqua Opal Czech Glass Jewelry Gift



easter island face mask earrings




The EASTER ISLAND handmade earrings have such a smile-inducing whimsical quality to them, reminding me of the faces of the regal statues (moai) that are found on Easter Island. Mega-fun anytime you want to inject fanciful flair to your wardrobe of the day, the one of a kind earrings were created with Czech glass and Swarovski crystals. The highlight of the artisan earrings are the two-sided Czech glass face mask beads in a glowing aqua blue opaline glass. As you can see, the eyes are closed, looking as if they are in peaceful repose. The lustrous blue opal look beads have a great amount of texture - the nose, chin and cheeks are raised - highlighted by a bronze Picasso finish to bring out the glorious detail. Since the face mask beads are two sided, the earrings look fabulous from any angle and positively glow when worn.

To perfectly complement the unique face beads, tri-cut Czech glass beads and Swarovski crystals are stacked on top. The Czech beads are a translucent aqua turquoise blue with an earthy matte Picasso finish. Three facets reveal the translucent glass and add subtle sparkle. Capping the Czech bead is a sparkling Swarovski crystal in a color called “white opal” a perfect foil for the opaline glass of the face beads. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the EASTER ISLAND earrings were created for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry designs and loves to have fun with her earrings.
