{"product_id":"chaparral-relic-earrings","title":"Chaparral Relic Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrive far enough into the desert Southwest and the landscape starts to look like it's remembering something. Old wood bleached pale by decades of sun. Rusted hinges on a gate nobody closes anymore. The brass hardware on a saddlebag left hanging in a barn since before the interstate came through. Everything out there earns its patina — nothing is decorative, and nothing is accidental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chaparral country around Tucson sits at the edge of the Sonoran Desert, where scrub oak and manzanita cling to rocky hillsides and the light turns everything golden by four in the afternoon. It's a landscape that rewards patience. The things that survive there — plants, animals, buildings, people — all share a particular quality: they've been shaped by time and weather into something more honest than what they started as. Pattie Parkhurst works from a studio in Tucson, and that desert sensibility runs through everything she makes. Her pieces feel found rather than fabricated, as though they've already lived a life before they reached you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese earrings pair brass and sterling silver in a mixed-metal composition that catches light the way old relics do — warmly, unevenly, with character. The brass carries a soft antiqued finish while the sterling provides cool contrast, and together they create something that looks like it was unearthed from the floorboards of a territorial-era trading post. At 1¼ inches including the ear wire and just 2 grams per earring, they sit close and light — the kind of piece you put on in the morning and forget about until someone asks where you found them. Ear wires are gold-filled, hypoallergenic and nickel-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted by Pattie Parkhurst Jewelry in Tucson, Arizona.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pattie Parkhurst Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45168682336303,"sku":"042-E-10014","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/1065\/8863\/files\/IMG-5993.jpg?v=1780626092","url":"https:\/\/haroldandhazel.com\/products\/chaparral-relic-earrings","provider":"Harold \u0026 Hazel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
