{"product_id":"terracotta-stud-earrings-folk-art-black-red-handpainted","title":"Terracotta Stud Earrings — Hand-Painted Folk Art Clay Studs in Black \u0026 Red","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere’s a specific visual trick built into this pair that’s easy to miss until someone points it out: the two earrings aren’t identical, they’re mirrored. Whatever’s painted black on the left earring shows up red on the right, and vice versa, so the pair reads as a matched set from a distance while actually being two inverted colour arrangements. It’s a deliberate move borrowed from Indian folk painting traditions that use bold, contrasting colour blocks to generate visual energy rather than symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach circular stud carries a swirling division reminiscent of a yin-yang split, filled in with hand-painted teardrop and dot motifs in black, red, white, and small yellow accents. None of it is stencilled — every dot, every teardrop shape, every dividing line between colour sections is painted freehand, which is why the exact motif placement shifts slightly between any two pairs even when the overall composition looks consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe flat circular form sits close to the earlobe rather than dangling, which keeps the earring sturdy and genuinely comfortable through a full day — no swing, no snagging on hair or clothing, just steady colour and pattern sitting close to the face. Steel posts keep things simple and low-maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese read as bold from across a room without requiring any risk in how they’re worn day to day — a rare combination for folk-art-inspired jewellery, most of which tends to demand either a dedicated outfit or a specific occasion to make sense. The mirrored colour trick also means the pair looks slightly different depending on which side someone’s viewing from, a small detail that keeps the design interesting even after wearing them regularly for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e — Natural terracotta clay, kiln-fired, hand-painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMotif\u003c\/b\u003e — Mirrored black-and-red folk art composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e — Steel stud post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGood for\u003c\/b\u003e — Daily wear, bold styling, folk art lovers, gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack on one side, red on the other — a mirror instead of a match.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soul Of Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50704479420663,"sku":"SOS-037","price":54.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/2968\/7799\/files\/pomelli_photoshoot-2_b19d708c-ee07-482a-8159-01aea1d200a4.jpg?v=1777207442","url":"https:\/\/www.soulofsoil.art\/en-nz\/products\/terracotta-stud-earrings-folk-art-black-red-handpainted","provider":"Soul Of Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
