Taquara — Cascade Drop Earrings

Four cascading discs: why does this long architecture appeal to capim dourado enthusiasts?

The elongated silhouette of the Taquara earrings creates a continuous sense of movement that follows your every gesture. Each spiral disc sways independently, multiplying the natural golden reflections of the fibre.

This cascading construction takes full advantage of the remarkable lightness of capim dourado — the plant fibre makes these long pendant earrings exceptionally comfortable despite their length. The four discs are braided by hand around buriti palm fibre by artisans from the Jalapao region of Tocantins, Brazil. Each pair displays subtle variations inherent to handcraft, giving your jewellery a distinctive character.

What is capim dourado and why does it shine like gold?

Capim dourado (Syngonanthus nitens) belongs to the Eriocaulaceae family and grows in the wet zones of the Brazilian cerrado biome, specifically in the Jalapao region of Tocantins state. Its slender stems are harvested once a year without destroying the plant, then braided by hand around buriti palm fibre to form regular spirals.

On the Taquara earrings, four flat discs are shaped in this manner and assembled into a vertical cascade. The fastening is a metal stud post, ensuring a discreet hold. The capim dourado fibre itself is naturally hypoallergenic; however, the metal component of the clasp may contain alloys worth noting if you have skin sensitivities.

What are the specifications of these earrings?

How can you style the Taquara earrings for the office and everyday wear?

Their long, linear silhouette frames the face and elongates the neckline, making them particularly well suited to professional outfits. Pair them with a simple blouse or a crew-neck top to let the golden discs catch the light without overwhelming your look. The natural golden tone complements neutral colours as well as deeper shades such as navy or burgundy.

For a cohesive look, consider adding a capim dourado bracelet to your wrist. The lightness of the plant fibre allows you to wear them comfortably all day, from morning meetings to an evening out.

How should you care for your capim dourado earrings?

Capim dourado retains its natural golden lustre for a long time with proper care. Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, creams and intense direct sunlight. After each wear, gently wipe your earrings with a soft dry cloth, then store them in the pouch provided. These simple steps are enough to preserve the beauty of the fibre and the shape of the spirals.
