Small Silver Pointed Teardrop Cactus Hoop Earrings

$ 100.00

Jewelry made from the desert

Each cactus piece is handmade using a lost wax casting process.

  1. I choose section of dried prickly pear cactus fiber (yep, the dried cellulose from inside the cactus).
  2. I make a mold of that piece of cactus fiber, then pour silver or gold into the mold.
  3. 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.

Perfect Gift for My Girlfriends!

I gave this pair of earrings to my both my mother and my best friend for Christmas this year. I loved the sentiment of how the cactus is so strong due to the inner fiber - I printed out a little card with your words on how it signifies women's strength and resilience. They BOTH adored them and put them on immediately! Thank YOU!

Oh my gosh, thank you Lacey! I love how much care and thought you put into your gift giving!
