Icara Double Orbit Earrings

Double-orbit capim dourado earrings: why do two free-moving circles capture light so beautifully?

Two braided hoops of different diameters rotate independently of each other. This freedom of movement multiplies the surfaces exposed to light, creating a constant play of golden reflections around your face. The effect is both graphic and organic.

The smaller inner circle swings within the larger outer one. As you move, the two orbits cross, separate and overlap. Light catches one, then the other, sometimes both at once. This subtle dance draws the eye without ostentation. The artisanal braiding of capim dourado stems around a buriti palm fibre gives each hoop a gently satiny texture that further enhances the natural glow. No chemical treatment is involved: the golden colour is intrinsic to the plant itself.

How is capim dourado transformed into hand-braided jewellery?

The floral stems of Syngonanthus nitens are harvested after they dry naturally in the Jalapao region of Tocantins. This process respects the plant's cycle — it regrows each year without damage from harvesting.

Once selected, the stems are braided by hand around a fibre from the buriti palm, a local species. This traditional artisanal technique from the Tocantins region produces a supple, resilient golden tube. For the Icara earrings, the artisan shapes two circles of distinct sizes, linked to a metal clasp that allows them to move freely. Each pair is slightly different, owing to the natural variation in stems and the entirely manual craftsmanship.

What are the characteristics of these earrings?

How can you style double-orbit golden grass earrings for any occasion?

The geometric silhouette of the Icara earrings suits both office wear and evening outfits. Their warm golden glow pairs naturally with neutral tones: a white blouse, a black jumper, a navy dress. You may also match them with warm hues such as terracotta or burgundy to echo their sun-kissed tonality.

Worn alone, they are enough to enliven a simple outfit. If you wish to build a coordinated look, explore our capim dourado bracelet collection for a harmonious blend of textures. A vegetable gold necklace will also complement this pair of golden circles with understated elegance. The lightness of capim dourado makes these earrings comfortable to wear all day long.

How should you care for your capim dourado earrings?

Capim dourado is a plant fibre resilient enough for daily wear, yet a few simple precautions will preserve its beauty. Avoid prolonged immersion in water and direct contact with perfume or body creams. A soft, dry cloth is all you need for cleaning; if necessary, a very slightly damp cloth will do. Store your earrings in the pouch provided, away from moisture. With these easy steps, your jewellery will retain its golden sheen for years. Over time, capim dourado develops a slightly warmer patina — a subtle hallmark of its natural character.
