Desert Brass

The Desert Brass Earrings are an expressive, layered design made with a mix of white leather, hand-painted aluminum, and a vintage metal charm — a wearable story crafted by hand, one thoughtful piece at a time.

What are they? These earrings are built in three distinct layers — a reversible leather base, a hand-cut and embossed aluminum center made from a recycled beverage can, and a small repurposed bead dangle from thrifted jewelry. Each material brings its own texture and character, blending soft neutrals with earthy depth.

Where would I wear them? From daily errands to dinner with friends, these earrings transition beautifully from casual to creative. They're light enough for all-day wear and bold enough to stand out in any setting.

Who are they for? These are made for the nature lover, the free-spirit, and the artistic soul — anyone who appreciates meaningful design, conscious materials, and timeless style with a twist.

When should I wear them? Any time you want to express yourself without overthinking it. They’re perfect for all seasons — pair them with sweaters in fall, breezy dresses in summer, or layered textures in winter. Their reversibility makes them even more adaptable for outfit changes or mood shifts.

Why choose these? Because they’re more than just earrings — they’re a celebration of intentional design, creativity, and reuse. With reversible layers and a unique blend of textures, they invite you to mix things up and wear your values with style.

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.
