"Angels on High" - Rustic Angel Handmade Earrings, Lampwork Pewter Artisan Dangle Jewelry

About:

The ANGELS ON HIGH handmade earrings have a wonderfully rustic look to them. The earrings feature artisan created ceramic angel discs. The one-sided discs were formed from gray ceramic clay with a raised angel design. A matte white glaze was brushed on and then the discs were fired in a kiln at high heat for strength and durability. Since the angel discs are individually handmade and painted, you can see from the photos that they are similar - but each has its differences, too. The back of the discs are glazed. The angels were carefully wire wrapped onto sterling silver wire to connect with the upper portion of the earring design.

Continuing in the rustic mood, turquoise blue lampwork glass bead nuggets were placed above the angel discs. Because the artisan lampwork beads were heavily etched and have unique spots, they have an ancient stone look to them. Lead free pewter bead caps with a raised daisy design on each petal were placed on the top and bottom of the lampwork beads for extra beauty. A pewter disc and a sterling bead are on top of the upper bead cap. Everything was wire wrapped in sterling wire and attached to sterling silver French hooks. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ANGELS ON HIGH earrings are perfect holiday earrings . . . or any time when you feel the need for your guardian angel.
