Silver Desert Sunrise Cactus Hoop Earrings
Jewelry handmade from prickly pear cactus fiber. Each piece is made using a solid metal copy of dried cactus fiber.
These Desert Sunrise Cactus Hoop Earrings are inspired by the Southwest. These hook earrings are truly unique - the elongated earwire easily slides into your ear, and the earrings hang like a hoop earring without the closure . These handmade earrings will lend a dose of desert inspiration to your look. (Btw, these are my favorite botanical earrings, and I wear them almost daily!)

Jewelry made from the desert
Each cactus piece is handmade using a lost wax casting process.
- I choose section of dried prickly pear cactus fiber (yep, the dried cellulose from inside the cactus).
- I make a mold of that piece of cactus fiber, then pour silver or gold into the mold.
- 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.

Customer Reviews
I love my silver cactus loop earrings - so beautiful and I get compliments on them all the time.
When I chatted with you briefly, I had no idea that you had used the prickly pear fiber to make the mold from which added to my surprise and joy in these beautiful earrings. As well as recycled silver. I am so impressed with you and your jewelry and your dedication to using nature so beautifully and creatively. I love these earrings!!!!
Hi Debra! I'm so glad you love the earrings and the process - it means a lot to me! I'm sure I mentioned that these are my favorite earrings :)
Loved the earrings that I purchased for my daughter but i ended up exchanging them for another pair that was better suited for long hair.
Thanks Susanne! I was happy to exchange, and hope your daughter loves the pair you got for her.
Claire does amazing work. I was at the Art Festival in Des Moines and ordered a ring to be made for myself, which Claire got to me in a timely manner. Fell in love with it and ordered a pair of earrings to match.
I am a loyal customer going forward!!
Thank you!!!
Hi L - I love this photo!! You so earned that ring! I'm glad you have the earrings too. I look forward to making more jewelry for you!
I have many pieces of jewelry from Clare and each piece is special. I have given her pieces as gifts and each piece is appreciated and enjoyed. Clare’s jewelry is excellently made, easy to wear and perfect for any occasion. She has set gems for me in her pieces which has made them even more special to me. Thank you, Clare!
