PINK WAVES - Pink Waves Earrings, Brown Swarovski Valentines Handmade Jewelry Gift

About:

If you are searching for a stylish pair of handmade earrings that are also very eye catching, the one of a kind PINK WAVES beauties are for you! Created from gorgeous Czech glass coins and mega-sparkle Swarovski crystals, they are a perfect Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day gift to be worn all year long. The Czech glass coins used as the focals are absolutely stunning. Czech glass is made in small batches in the Czech Republic, where glass production has been carried on for hundreds of years. These particular beads are a coin shape created with a combination of clear and pink glass and a dimpled, textured edge. The pink glass is in a flowing, wave-like design with many hues, from light pink to dark pink. The clear glass accentuates the pink waves perfectly. Then, as if the Czech beads needed more beauty, an earthy brown Picasso finish was applied to the beads. It was then polished off the flat faces of the coins but left in the crevasses of the textured crust edges. Since the glass beads were made in very small batches, they are similar but not exactly the same - even the fronts and backs are a bit different - as you can see in the photos. A copper disc spacer caps the top and bottom of each pink wave bead.

To add maximum sparkle to the earrings and perfectly complement the Czech coins, two colors and sizes of faceted Swarovski crystals bicones were used. The larger 6 mm Swarovski crystal is a color called “light Colorado topaz,” a warm, light brown shade. Stacked above, separated by a small copper bead, is a 4 mm crystal in a color called “rose,” a perfect shade of medium pink. All the components used to make the earrings were strung on copper head pins, wire wrapped and connected to sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind PINK WAVES earrings were created for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry that no one else has!
