{"product_id":"boucles-guavira-capim-dourado-vrille-spirale","title":"Guavira corkscrew spiral earrings","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"oo-intro\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Guavira earrings — named from the Tupi for 'fruit of the cerrado' — trace a corkscrew spiral in capim dourado that seems to freeze the motion of a wave in gold. Each stem of Syngonanthus nitens is twisted by hand around buriti palm fibre, producing an organic helix that hangs from the earlobe. This spiralling form is born from the precise gestures of artisans in the Jalapao region. No two pairs are identical: capim dourado, a living plant fibre, brings its own subtle variations to every weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCorkscrew earrings in vegetable gold: how does hand-braiding create a spiral movement?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spiral of the Guavira earrings takes shape as the artisan winds golden stems around the buriti fibre, gradually adjusting the angle of each turn. With every pass, the stem moves slightly further from the central axis, generating a curve that amplifies naturally. The result is an airy helix whose geometry recalls a plant-born corkscrew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis helical movement gives the earrings a dynamic presence. When you turn your head, the spiral catches light from changing angles, revealing the golden nuances of the capim dourado. Because the plant fibre is naturally lightweight, the helix sways gently without pulling on the lobe. This combination of artisanal skill and featherlight material makes the Guavira earrings a statement piece in the Oroona \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/oroona.com\/en\/collections\/vegetable-gold-earrings\"\u003eearrings collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is capim dourado and where does its golden colour come from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapim dourado — Portuguese for 'golden grass' — refers to the stems of Syngonanthus nitens, a plant from the Eriocaulaceae family. It grows in the wet veredas of the Brazilian cerrado, in the Jalapao region of Tocantins state. Its golden colour is entirely natural: it comes from light reflecting off the microscopic structure of each stem. No dye, no chemical treatment.

Artisanal weaving ensures that every pair has its own sheen and curvature.

Syngonanthus nitens is a perennial plant that regrows each year in the wet zones of the Brazilian cerrado. Harvesting the stems does not destroy the plant: only the aerial part is collected, while the root remains intact and produces new stems the following season. This natural cycle allows regular gathering without depleting the resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo the fittings of this jewel contain nickel?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capim dourado fibre itself is naturally hypoallergenic. However, the metal fittings may contain alloys that include nickel. If you have a sensitivity, we recommend testing the jewel for a short period or contacting our customer service to check the exact composition of the fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhich capim dourado jewel makes a good first gift?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarrings are an excellent introduction to capim dourado.
