Item Description

Perfect jewelry for the woman who loves lightweight, boho style earrings inspired by a famous artist, the colorful RED POPPIES earrings will be treasured by any art lover and worn time and time again. Long and dangly, the one of a kind earrings feature Gustav Klimt inspired red poppy garden polymer clay dangles and amber resin Tibetan beads. The amazing Klimt influenced dangles were individually artisan made from black polymer clay. The multicolored poppy design was drawn freehand into the clay and then shimmering acrylic pigments were hand painted, applied in layers. The delightful dangles were finished with two layers of a crystal protectant for many years of wearing enjoyment. The unique hand painted design is filled with vibrant orange red poppies. Sweeping swirls in complementing aqua blue, orange, copper and gold pigments and a black “frame” enhances the flowers. The back side is finished in mixed metallic pigments with the artist’s mark. As you can see, the dangles are different but similar in design. Since the dangles are made from polymer clay, the earrings are very lightweight to wear.

Stacked above the red poppy dangles, perfectly highlighting them, are Tibetan resin beads and glowing orange Czech glass beads. Handmade by artisans in Nepal in the traditional manner of mixing copal with amber dust, the vintage-look Tibetan beads are a rich honey amber color that is somewhat translucent. Adding even more eye interest, the copal beads are inlaid around the middle with dotted brass wire. Stacked above each Tibetan bead, separated by a copper disc spacer, is a single translucent orange Czech glass bead with a light metallic finish that glows beautifully when the earrings are worn. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finish the colorful earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the RED POPPIES handmade earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves art jewelry, especially those inspired by the flower garden paintings of Gustav Klimt.

Through the centuries, flowers have been a symbol of spiritual awakening; also they have been symbols of generosity and love when they are given away. Copal is associated with the fulfillment of dreams and goals, and ideals; it is said to help balance the yin and yang creating calmness. Even though man made, glass carries the energies of transformation, rebirth and communication. Copper is believed to allow the wearer to recognize barriers in the path of personal development. Silver is a metal of love and healing; it is a mirror to the soul, helping us to see ourselves as others see us.

The one of a kind RED POPPIES artisan earrings were carefully designed and handmade in a dog friendly, smoke free studio. They will be carefully packed in an organza jewelry bag with tissue, perfect for gift giving to a loved one . . . or to yourself!
