A Brazilian artisan jewel that captures the natural radiance of golden grass in a contemporary, elegant form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe name Tapera means \"abandoned village\" in the Tupi language. It evokes those places where nature reclaims its space, where golden grass grows freely across the plains of the Brazilian cerrado. Each pair of earrings carries this quiet poetry of renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCapim dourado and woven fibre earrings: how does a plant fibre inspire contemporary jewellery?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapim dourado, a naturally golden plant fibre, gives artisans a living material that lends itself to decidedly modern forms. The Tapera earrings illustrate this meeting of artisan tradition and current design through their hand-woven sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dried stems of Syngonanthus nitens are carefully wound around buriti palm fibre to form a perfectly round ball. This spiral weaving technique creates a regular pattern that catches light from every angle. The grey pearl, placed between the golden stud and the capim dourado sphere, adds a soft, contemporary contrast. The whole piece remains remarkably light thanks to the plant-based nature of its main material. You wear jewellery that combines artisan expertise from the Tocantins region with a refined aesthetic, without ever compromising on comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere does the natural golden sheen of these plant-based earrings come from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden colour of capim dourado is entirely natural. It comes from the way light reflects off the microscopic structure of the plant's stems. No dye and no chemical treatment are involved in this process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSyngonanthus nitens grows in the veredas, the wetland areas of the Brazilian cerrado, primarily in the Jalapao region of Tocantins state. Each year, after flowering and natural drying on the stem, the stalks are harvested by hand. This harvest does not destroy the plant, which regrows naturally the following season. The selected stems display a sheen ranging from bright gold to soft matte gold depending on the angle of light, giving each pair of Tapera earrings a slightly different character. It is this natural variation that makes every piece of golden grass jewellery truly artisanal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the characteristics of this piece of jewellery?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"oo-specs\"\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain material\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: Hand-woven capim dourado sphere\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeads\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round grey pearl with silver highlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold-tone ear stud, decorative metal elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e: Handmade, hand-woven\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 wear the Tapera earrings from day to evening?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of warm gold and pearly grey makes these earrings surprisingly versatile.

Avoid immersing them in water or exposing them to chemicals such as perfume or body lotion. To clean them, a soft, dry cloth is sufficient. If needed, you may use a very slightly damp cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore your earrings in the pouch provided, away from moisture and direct sunlight. With proper care, your capim dourado jewellery will retain its radiance for several years. Over time, the golden grass develops a slightly warmer patina — a sign of authenticity that many wearers come to appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"oo-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eCan you wear capim dourado if you have a metal allergy?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCapim dourado is a plant fibre that contains neither nickel nor allergenic metals. If you are sensitive to metals, the main material of these earrings will not cause a reaction. However, the metal fittings (ear studs, linking rings) may contain metals. If you have a severe allergy, we recommend testing your tolerance to the fastening elements before prolonged wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes sunlight damage capim dourado jewellery?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOccasional sun exposure poses no risk to your capim dourado earrings. However, prolonged and repeated exposure to intense sunlight may gradually dry out the plant fibre. To preserve the natural sheen of your jewellery, store it in its pouch when not wearing it and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat outfits go well with capim dourado jewellery?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCapim dourado, with its natural golden sheen, complements a wide range of outfits. Natural fabrics such as linen, cotton and silk create an obvious harmony. Neutral tones — white, cream, beige, black — highlight the warm hue of golden grass. You may also try bolder contrasts with deep colours like navy, pine or burgundy. The Tapera earrings, with their grey pearl, fit equally well into a more contemporary, urban style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oroona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57527005938012,"sku":"B414","price":27.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/2383\/4716\/files\/boucles-oreilles-tapera-hematite-capim-dourado.jpg?v=1778360108","url":"https:\/\/oroona.com\/en\/products\/tapera-earrings-with-grey-pearl","provider":"Oroona","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
