Gold Cactus Band Ring
Jewelry handmade from prickly pear cactus fiber. Each piece is made using a solid metal copy of dried cactus fiber.
Inspired by the intricate forms of the desert, this 14k gold band features a continuous pattern cast from the skeleton of a prickly pear cactus. Each curve and line is preserved in solid gold, creating a design that feels both organic and refined.
This handmade ring’s seamless texture wraps all the way around—an unbroken reflection of the desert’s quiet resilience. Its natural elegance makes it a distinctive choice for a non-traditional wedding band, or a meaningful everyday ring that connects you to the landscape you love.
Timeless, tactile, and grounded in nature—this piece embodies the enduring beauty of the desert.

Jewelry made from the desert
Each cactus piece is handmade using a lost wax casting process.
- I choose section of dried prickly pear cactus fiber (yep, the dried cellulose from inside the cactus).
- I make a mold of that piece of cactus fiber, then pour silver or gold into the mold.
- 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.
