Capim dourado, the stem of Syngonanthus nitens, owes its golden sheen to the natural reflection of light on its microscopic structure, with no dye involved. Each pair is subtly unique, shaped by skilled hands and the living character of the fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree waves of capim dourado: why does this undulating jewel captivate the eye?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three wavy strands of the Taua earrings fall side by side like suspended waves. This parallel motion creates depth and rhythm that draws the gaze naturally. When you turn your head, the strands sway at slightly different times, producing a shifting play of light across each golden surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause capim dourado is a plant fibre, the piece remains remarkably light despite its three strands. A white-cream connecting element joins the undulations to the metal stud, adding a subtle material contrast that underlines the flowing design.

It grows in the wet veredas of the cerrado biome, Jalapao region, Tocantins state, Brazil. Its golden hue comes from no pigment: it results from the way light reflects off the microstructure of each stem.

It consists of the stems of Syngonanthus nitens, a plant from the Eriocaulaceae family that grows in the Brazilian cerrado. The golden colour comes from light reflecting off the microscopic structure of the stems, with no dye or chemical treatment. The stems are hand-braided around buriti palm fibre to create these Taua earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat should I do if my capim dourado jewellery gets wet?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your Taua earrings come into contact with water, dry them immediately by gently dabbing with a soft, dry cloth. Then leave them in the open air, away from direct sunlight, to finish drying naturally. Avoid direct heat sources. Brief exposure generally causes no damage, but prolonged contact may affect the surface of the stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs capim dourado a traditional Brazilian craft?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, capim dourado braiding is a craft rooted in the culture of the Jalapao region, Tocantins state, Brazil.
