Silver Desert Sunrise Cactus Hoop Earrings

$ 145.00

Jewelry handmade from prickly pear cactus fiber. Each piece is made using a solid metal copy of dried cactus fiber.

These Desert Sunrise Cactus Hoop Earrings are inspired by the Southwest. These hook earrings are truly unique - the elongated earwire easily slides into your ear, and the earrings hang like a hoop earring without the closure . These handmade earrings will lend a dose of desert inspiration to your look. (Btw, these are my favorite botanical earrings, and I wear them almost daily!)

Size

Hoop earrings measure 5/8" wide and 1.5" long.

Materials

These eco-friendly cactus skeleton hook earrings are solid sterling silver, made with 100% recycled silver.

Cactus pendant is lost wax cast from the actual woody skeleton of the prickly pear cactus.

Story

These handmade cactus hoop earrings are made using actual Prickly Pear cactus skeletons (skeleton closeup shown). Using the lost wax casting process, each piece is a solid metal replica of a section of cactus skeleton.

Lila Clare Jewelry has been making unique jewelry from the dried cellulose skeleton of the prickly pear cactus since 2010.

Silver Desert Sunrise Cactus Hoop Earrings

$ 145.00

Jewelry made from the desert

Each cactus piece is handmade using a lost wax casting process.

  1. I choose section of dried prickly pear cactus fiber (yep, the dried cellulose from inside the cactus).
  2. I make a mold of that piece of cactus fiber, then pour silver or gold into the mold.
  3. The result is a solid metal copy of the cactus fiber, which I then made into a unique piece of jewelry.

artisan made

Hi, I'm Clare, owner and maker of Lila Clare Jewelry. I make each piece of jewelry from the actual dried fibrous skeleton of the prickly pear cactus, resulting in artisan jewelry made in and from the southwestern desert. I have been making these unique jewelry pieces from the cactus skeleton since 2010.

Clare’s jewelry is excellently made, easy to wear and perfect for any occasion. She has set gems for me in her pieces which has made them even more special to me. Thank you, Clare!

Earring lover!

I first found Lila Clare's designs at an art festival near me and have to say I was so intrigued with the concept of how she designed her jewelry, I had to have my own pair of earrings. Every time I wear them, someone stops me and asks about them. I highly recommend her jewelry for anyone!

Thank you! These are my favorite earrings. :) I'm glad you love them too!
