Curió earrings, double leaf

Double leaf capim dourado earrings: why does the botanical shape appeal to lovers of natural jewellery?

The double leaf shape of the Curio earrings echoes a timeless botanical motif. This organic design naturally complements the capim dourado itself — a plant-based material — so that form and substance tell the same story.

Each leaf is formed by the meticulous hand-braiding of capim dourado stems around a buriti fibre. The two marquise silhouettes, one delicately set inside the other, catch the light from every angle. The result is an airy pendant that draws the eye without adding weight. This double-outline construction creates a sense of depth and movement rarely found in conventional jewellery. By wearing the Curio earrings, you sport a piece that evokes nature in its very structure while remaining understated and refined.

Where does the golden glow of these vegetable gold earrings come from?

The lustre of capim dourado is entirely natural. It results from the way light reflects off the microscopic structure of the Syngonanthus nitens stems, without any dye or chemical treatment.

This golden grass grows in the wetlands of the Jalapao region, in the state of Tocantins in central Brazil. The flower stems are harvested once a year, after the plant has bloomed and dried naturally. Harvesting does not destroy the rootstock, which regrows each year. The entire manufacturing process is done by hand: harvesting, stem selection and braiding. Each pair of earrings is therefore slightly different, reflecting the artisan's craft and the natural variation of the stems.

How should you care for your capim dourado earrings?

Capim dourado is a natural material that withstands normal daily wear, but a few simple habits will preserve its beauty. Avoid prolonged immersion in water and direct contact with perfume or creams. To clean, a soft dry cloth is all you need; if necessary, use a very slightly damp cloth. Store your earrings in the pouch provided, away from moisture and intense sunlight. With proper care, your capim dourado jewellery retains its glow for many years. The subtle patina that may develop over time gives the material an even warmer character.
