Teardrop Earrings in My Shadow Dog Designs Jewelry Shop


It seems lately that I have become enamored with teardrop shaped earrings.  Three new pairs of earrings have been listed recently in my SHADOW DOG DESIGNS handmade jewelry shop.  Teardrops are always so sleek looking, in my humble opinion.  In fact, I made a pair for me and wear them quite often.  Since teardrops have been in my repertoire lately, I thought I'd feature the three newest teardrop earrings and then three that have been in the shop for a little while.  Enjoy!

Ocean Jasper with Druzy Necklace, Gemstone Sterling Handmade Jewelry


ocean jasper druzy necklace

The "Meanderings" handmade necklace features beautiful ocean jasper with druzy rounds and sterling silver - chunky statement necklace for women.


The MEANDERINGS necklace, a delightful gift idea for the woman who loves chunky statement jewelry, is filled with earthy elegance and unique, sparkling druzy inclusionsThe handmade necklace features outstanding ocean jasper (also called orbicular jasper) rounds that are a gorgeous mottled brown color - except for two near the front that are off white with dots and splotches of brown.  For those who love unexpected sparkle, most of the jasper rounds have druzy crystal inclusions, some large and some smaller.  Druzies, which are much sought after and highly valued, are small crystals that sometimes form in hollow places in gemstones - tiny crystals that sparkle greatly despite their small size.  To add warm glow against the earthy stones, six sterling silver Saturn beads separate the jasper rounds in the front of the necklace.  A hammered sterling hook clasp finishes the necklace perfectly.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the MEANDERINGS druzy necklace was created for the woman who adores wearing unique artisan created jewelry that no one else has.

Zebra Earrings with African Batik Beads and Red Coral, Handmade Animal Jewelry



handmade zebra earrings tribal gift for women



The unique ZEBRA STRIPES handmade earrings with a definite tribal flair are perfect for you if you love the animals of Africa, especially the elegant looking black and white striped zebras.   Very boho in design, the earrings feature lead free pewter charms with a raised zebra design that were artisan hand cast.  Given a dark rustic patina, the charms were then polished to bring out the intricate detailing of the zebras.  Stacked above each zebra charm are dark brown and white striped African batik beads (to mimic the coloration of the zebras), blazing red coral discs and yellow and black striped African Christmas glass trade beads.  A red Christmas glass trade bead was added to the sterling silver earwires to finish the ethnic earrings. Created for the woman who adores one of a kind jewelry with a boho beat, the ZEBRA STRIPES earrings were carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs.

New One of a Kind Jewelry Handmade by Shadow Dog Designs



https://www.shadowdogdesigns.com/store


It has been quite some time since I shared my newest jewelry in a blog.  With selling at arts festivals, traveling and other such consumers of time, I haven't taken the time to sit down and share my newest necklaces and earrings.  I normally share the jewelry on my SHADOW DOG DESIGNS shop blog.  But since I started this blog only a few weeks ago, I decided to show off my jewelry here.  Each piece is handmade by me and is a one-of-a-kind creation.  If something catches your eye, please either click on the photo or on the description below the photo to be redirected to my online shop for more information and pictures.  Mother's Day will soon be here - give a meaningful gift made from the heart!

Enjoy!
