{"product_id":"manduri-boucles-oreilles-capim-dourado-sphere-disque","title":"Manduri — earrings, sphere and spiral disc","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"oo-intro\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Manduri earrings — named after the Tupi word for 'stingless bee' — pair a compact capim dourado sphere with a flat spiral disc, handwoven by artisans from the Jalapao region. Like the Syngonanthus nitens plant that renews itself each year without being destroyed by harvesting, these earrings carry within them a quiet cycle of natural regeneration. Each pair is subtly unique, shaped by skilled hands and the living character of the golden grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSphere and disc in capim dourado: why does this pairing of shapes create a perfectly balanced jewel?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact sphere resting against the earlobe gathers light into a single golden point, whilst the flat spiral disc below catches reflections across its entire surface. This interplay between a concentrated upper element and an open lower form produces a visual equilibrium that moves gracefully with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA metal link between the two allows the disc to swing gently, lending a sense of movement without added weight. Because capim dourado is a plant fibre, the whole piece remains remarkably light — you forget you are wearing them, though others certainly notice. This two-tiered geometry gives the Manduri earrings a look that is both contemporary and organic, fitting perfectly within the Oroona earrings collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is capim dourado and where does its golden sheen 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 that grows in the wet veredas of the cerrado biome in the Jalapao region, Tocantins state, Brazil. Its golden colour is entirely natural: it results from the way light reflects off the microscopic structure of each stem. No dye, no chemical treatment is involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Manduri earrings, these stems are braided by hand around buriti palm fibre to form both the sphere and the spiral disc. Artisanal weaving ensures that every pair has its own subtle variations in sheen and tone. The fibre itself is naturally hypoallergenic, though the metal post and link may contain alloys — do check if you have metal sensitivities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the characteristics of this jewel?\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: Drop earrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sphere and linked spiral disc\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 stud post, metal link between sphere and disc\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\u003eHow can you style these golden earrings for a summer holiday?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Manduri earrings are natural companions for warm-weather dressing. Worn with a white linen dress or an off-the-shoulder blouse, their golden glow catches the sunlight without overwhelming the outfit. For an evening by the sea, sweep your hair up into a relaxed bun and let the spiral disc move freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create a coordinated look, pair them with a capim dourado bracelet worn alone on the wrist. Because the fibre is plant-based and featherlight, these earrings stay comfortable during long, hot days when metal jewellery might not. From a seaside market to a sunset dinner, the Manduri earrings travel effortlessly with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow should you care for your capim dourado earrings to keep them radiant?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapim dourado retains its golden brilliance for years provided you observe a few simple precautions. Avoid prolonged contact with water, chemicals — perfume, sun cream, hairspray — and extended direct sunlight. After each wear, gently wipe the earrings with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore them in the pouch provided to shield them from dust and friction. If you wish to apply perfume, do so before putting on your earrings and allow the alcohol to evaporate fully. These straightforward steps are all that is needed to preserve the natural lustre of Syngonanthus nitens season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"oo-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is vegetable gold?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegetable gold refers to the stems of Syngonanthus nitens, a plant from the Eriocaulaceae family native to the cerrado biome in Brazil. Their golden colour is completely natural, produced by light reflecting off the microscopic structure of the stems rather than by any dye or chemical treatment. These stems are hand-braided around buriti palm fibre to create lightweight, luminous jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan you wear perfume with capim dourado jewellery?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is best to avoid direct contact between perfume and capim dourado. The alcohol and chemical compounds in fragrances can dull the surface of the stems over time. The recommended approach is to spray perfume onto your skin, wait a few minutes for the alcohol to evaporate, and then put on your Manduri earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy choose capim dourado over costume jewellery?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike costume jewellery whose gold plating eventually chips and fades, capim dourado possesses a natural, permanent golden colour that is inherent to the fibre itself. The material is plant-based and exceptionally light, making it comfortable for all-day wear. Additionally, the plant renews itself every year — harvesting does not destroy it — which allows for a steady supply without depleting the resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oroona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57525876523356,"sku":"B10","price":26.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/2383\/4716\/files\/bo-manduri-pendantes-dorees-or-vegetal-bresil.jpg?v=1778267872","url":"https:\/\/oroona.com\/en\/products\/manduri-earrings-sphere-and-spiral-disc","provider":"Oroona","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
