Rustic Whisper

The Shadow and Sky earrings are a celebration of contrast—dark leather grounding a swirl of turquoise and copper hues, like desert night meeting open sky. Each pair begins with a teardrop of genuine black leather, cut into feathered edges that add texture and movement. Layered over it is repurposed aluminum, once a soda can, now embossed and painted by hand with layers of bronze, turquoise, and copper that catch the light in a way that feels both rustic and radiant.

At the center, a hand-wrapped copper cone cradles an 8mm Tibetan agate bead, offering grounding energy and an earthy finish. These earrings are designed for the free-spirited woman who craves pieces that feel personal, soulful, and a little wild. They pair effortlessly with flowing maxi dresses, denim jackets, or even a simple black tee—adding a burst of character wherever you wear them.

Whether you’re heading to a music festival, an art market stroll, or simply out for coffee, these earrings bring a sense of play and depth to your style. They’re made for those who want jewelry that sparks conversations, honors sustainable craftsmanship, and feels like a tiny piece of art you can wear every day.

How to Love Your Jewelry (So It Loves You Back)

Our pieces are handmade with heart — and a little extra care goes a long way. With the right TLC, your Prickly Pairs will keep turning heads and sparking compliments for years to come.

Keep ‘Em Away from Chemicals

• Perfume, hairspray, lotion, makeup — all the usual suspects can mess with your jewelry's mojo. Best to put your peices on after your glow-up routine.

No Pools, No Showers, No Splashes

• We know they’re pretty enough to wear 24/7, but water isn’t their friend. Remove before swimming, showering, or dancing in the rain (cute, but not great for tin or leather).

Clean ‘Em Gently

• Just a soft, damp cloth will do the trick to wipe off dust and daily adventures. No harsh scrubbing or chemical cleaners needed — less is more!

Handle With Kindness

• Tossing them into the bottom of your bag? Please nooo! These babes are handmade — treat them like tiny treasures.

Keep Out of Direct Sunlight

• Too much sun can fade colors over time. Store your pieces somewhere cool and shady when they’re not out having fun with you.

Give Metal a Little Polish

• If your jewelry has metal parts, a quick buff with a soft cloth will bring the shine right back. Instant glow-up.
