Their silhouette follows the same idea: two concentric circles of capim dourado form a double hoop in golden grass. This plant, Syngonanthus nitens, grows in the wet veredas of the Brazilian cerrado, in the Jalapao region of Tocantins. Its golden colour is entirely natural, produced by light reflecting off the microscopic structure of each stem. Every pair is subtly different, as the braiding is done by hand around buriti palm fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDouble hoop in capim dourado: how do two concentric circles reinvent the classic earring?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA traditional hoop earring relies on a single ring. The Jurema earrings double the effect by layering two circles of different diameters. The inner circle draws the eye close to the earlobe, while the outer circle extends the movement and catches more light. This interplay of proportions creates a visual depth that a single hoop cannot achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapim dourado amplifies this quality: the plant fibre reflects light unevenly, each stem carrying its own micro-texture. When you turn your head, the reflections shift from one circle to the other. The result is a jewel that moves visually without moving physically.

It grows in the wet veredas of the cerrado biome, around Jalapao, Tocantins state, Brazil. Its golden sheen comes from the way light bounces off the microscopic architecture of each stem. No dye, no chemical treatment is involved.

Hand-braiding means every pair shows slight variations in sheen. The fibre is plant-based and lightweight, making the earrings comfortable for all-day wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"oo-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Capim dourado (Syngonanthus nitens)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double hoop earrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Two concentric circles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStones or beads\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFittings\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal clip attachment at top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e: Handmade, hand-braided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jalapao region, Tocantins, Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen is the right occasion to wear these hoops for the first time?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscovering capim dourado for the first time? Start with a daytime outing — a terrace lunch, a stroll through town, a gallery visit.

After each wear, wipe the earrings gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in the pouch provided. If you apply perfume, do so before putting on your earrings and allow the alcohol to evaporate first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"oo-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes capim dourado contain metal?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, capim dourado is a purely plant-based fibre: the stems of Syngonanthus nitens, from the Eriocaulaceae family. Its golden colour comes from no metal and no dye. However, the clips and attachments that hold the Jurema earrings in place are made of metal. If you have sensitivity to metal alloys, check the contact area near your earlobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes sunlight damage capim dourado jewellery?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProlonged and repeated exposure to direct sunlight can gradually lighten the golden tone over time. To preserve the sheen of your Jurema earrings, avoid leaving them in full sun when you are not wearing them and store them in their pouch.
