Their geometric silhouette bridges contemporary design and Brazilian craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eCapim dourado is a naturally golden grass harvested in the Jalapao plains of Brazil. Braided by hand, this plant fibre offers a luminous sheen with no chemical treatment. Each pair is slightly different, a hallmark of artisan work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStacked disc earrings in capim dourado: when does the alignment of circles create an architectural jewel?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Matrinxa earrings explore an uncommon construction: capim dourado rings stacked horizontally, held by a wire frame that traces a trapezoidal shape. The result is a pendant that plays with depth and repetition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach ring is braided from capim dourado stems wound around buriti palm fibre. The rings are then threaded onto the metal frame, where they remain free to pivot slightly. This micro-movement animates the golden surface and multiplies reflections. The name Matrinxa refers to a freshwater fish in the Tupi language, evoking the aligned scales that inspire these earrings. The open frame allows light through, enhancing the transparency and lightness of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does capim dourado bring a natural golden sheen to a geometric jewel?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapim dourado, or Syngonanthus nitens, is a plant from the Brazilian cerrado whose flower stems possess a natural metallic lustre. This golden colour results from light reflecting off the microstructure of the fibres, with no gilding or dye added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stems are harvested after flowering and natural drying in the wetlands of the Jalapao, Tocantins state. Harvesting does not destroy the plant, which renews itself each year. The braiding is entirely manual: selecting stems, winding them around buriti fibre, shaping the rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the characteristics of these geometric vegetable gold earrings?\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: Stacked rings in a trapezoidal frame\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: Wire frame and lever-back clasps in silver-toned metal\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 should you wear geometric golden earrings with an architectural structure?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bold silhouette of the Matrinxa earrings makes them statement pieces.

Remove your earrings before showering or swimming. To clean, wipe the rings with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in the pouch provided, away from moisture and direct light. Capim dourado retains its sheen for years and develops a slightly warmer patina over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"oo-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhy give an artisan jewel rather than an industrial one?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAn artisan capim dourado jewel is braided by hand, making each piece slightly different. This singularity gives a gift a personal dimension that industrial production cannot replicate. Capim dourado also provides a story to tell: that of a naturally golden Brazilian fibre, transformed into jewellery through traditional craftsmanship from the Tocantins region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs capim dourado more ecological than conventional gold?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCapim dourado is a renewable plant fibre. The plant regrows each year after the dried stems are harvested. The transformation process is entirely manual and requires no mining, high-temperature smelting or chemicals. Capim dourado represents a plant-based alternative to precious metal, with a reduced manufacturing footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes sunlight damage capim dourado jewellery?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eProlonged exposure to intense sunlight can dry out the plant fibre and slightly dull the golden sheen. Avoid leaving your earrings in full sun for extended periods, for instance on a dashboard. Everyday outdoor wear poses no problem. For storage, use the pouch provided in a dry place away from direct light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oroona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57527004496220,"sku":"B34","price":25.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/2383\/4716\/files\/bo-matrinxa-architecturales-or-vegetal-bresil.jpg?v=1778274906","url":"https:\/\/oroona.com\/en\/products\/matrinxa-stacked-disc-earrings","provider":"Oroona","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
