FOR THE LOVE OF GOOD DOGS - Dog Lovers Earrings, Green Brown Ceramic Lampwork Handmade Jewelry

About:

If you or a loved one adores the faithfulness, beauty and goofiness of dogs, the FOR THE LOVE OF GOOD DOGS handmade earrings are a perfect gift. The one of a kind earrings feature unique artisan created ceramic dog silhouette charms, frosted artisan lampwork glass beads and glittering Swarovski crystals. Created individually from twice kiln fired ceramic, the dog dangles are teardrop shaped and glazed with two coats of pale minty green in the center and bronze around the edges. There is some crazing to add a lovely vintage look. The dog designs are mirror images and were impressed into the ceramic for great texture. The back of the dangles don’t have a dog design but are glazed (see photo # 8) so the earrings look beautiful from any angle. The dangles are wire-wrapped to the upper part of the earrings with sterling silver wire. Because the dog charms were created from ceramic, the earrings are lightweight to wear.

Perfectly complementing the ceramic dog teardrops are artisan handmade frosted lampwork beads and Swarovski crystals. The lampwork beads were created with pale green glass and then given a pearlized coating for amazing glow when backlit. Stacked above each lampwork bead are two faceted Swarovski crystal bicones to add amazing sparkle to the dog earrings design. The color is called “light Colorado topaz” and highlights the rich bronze glaze of the teardrops. Sterling silver French hook earwires finish the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FOR THE LOVE OF GOOD DOGS earrings were created for the woman who can’t imagine life with a good dog . . . or two . . . or more!
