Painted Journey

Every pair of Painted Journey earrings begins with hand-cut leather that’s carefully decorated using fine artist pens, each line and symbol drawn by hand, no stencils, no shortcuts. Layers of warm bronze, bold black, and turquoise patterns give them a tribal-meets-modern feel, while the brass leaf charm sways lightly below, catching the light and adding just enough shimmer.

These earrings were designed for the free-spirited soul who loves to carry a touch of art wherever life takes them. Their earthy tones make them easy to pair with denim, woven layers, or even a simple black dress when you want your jewelry to do the talking. They’re light enough to wear from sunrise adventures at the market to late-night music under the stars, always bringing a little handmade magic with them.

Painted Journey isn’t just an accessory—it’s a reminder that every day is part of the adventure, and your style should move with you.

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.
