Desert Vista

There’s something about desert light—it hits different. That golden hour glow, the soft rustle of wind in sagebrush, the colors that melt into each other like watercolor on paper. That’s the spirit of the Desert Vista earrings.

The base is crafted from smooth, teardrop-shaped wood wrapped in hand-painted watercolor paper. One side features original doodle-style art inspired by wildflowers and sun-washed canyon views. The flip side offers a soft, rosy-mauve wash—making this layer fully reversible so you can match your mood.

The standout detail? That middle piece. A once-forgotten V8 can, hand-cut, embossed, painted, and sealed into a shape that feels like desert flora in motion. It’s lightweight but full of texture and meaning, a subtle nod to sustainable beauty.

A hand-strung bead dangle finishes the look—stacked with warm wood, ivory, and bronze tones, and grounded with a delicate metal leaf that adds just the right bit of sway.

Every inch of these earrings whispers intentionality—from the hand-painted watercolor swirls to the textured, repurposed metal that once lived a very different life. Their layered design blends artful play with desert-worn soul, making them a go-to for days when you’re feeling grounded, creative, or a little bit wild.

They slip seamlessly into everything from sundrenched art walks to slow evenings around the firepit, adding a soulful rhythm to whatever you're wearing. Designed for free-spirited wanderers and conscious creatives, these earrings don’t just accessorize—they add meaning. Because sometimes what you wear should feel like a reflection, not a statement. And when that mood hits—the one where you want to feel effortless, expressive, and entirely you—these are the ones you'll reach for.

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.
