Paintbrush Crescent earrings

These earrings feature a deep, glowing slice of Rosarita Red held within a hand-forged crescent of jeweler’s brass. The color is reminiscent of Indian Paintbrush, those vivid wildflowers that flare across the desert like little flames — warm, bold, and impossible to ignore.
 
Rosarita itself carries a story from another era. Formed as a by-product of mid-20th-century Alaskan gold refining, its silky cherry-red hue comes from the natural silica in the ore. Because this old refining method is long gone, the remaining Rosarita is rare — a true treasure for collectors of unique materials.
 
Together, the warm brass and vibrant red create a half-moon silhouette that feels like a petal catching the last golden light of day. Organic, sculptural, and full of quiet drama, these earrings bring the glow of a wildflower meadow right to your jewelry collection.
