{"product_id":"boucles-doreilles-double-cercle-capim-dourado-urubu","title":"Urubu Double Circle Earrings","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"oo-intro\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Urubu earrings bring together two concentric circles in capim dourado, a naturally golden plant fibre from Brazil. Their airy silhouette, formed by two hand-woven rings of different sizes, catches the light with understated elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eCapim dourado owes its golden sheen to the microscopic structure of its stems — no dye, no chemical treatment. Each pair is slightly different, shaped by the artisan's hand and the natural variation of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDouble circle capim dourado earrings: why does the interplay of two rings create such a harmonious piece of jewellery?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dialogue between a larger outer ring and a smaller inner ring produces a natural visual balance. The outer circle defines the movement, while the inner one adds depth and draws the eye inward. This interplay of proportions echoes the forms found in nature, where curves nestle together effortlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven from dried capim dourado stems around a buriti palm fibre, these pendant earrings sway gently with each movement. Light reflects differently on each ring depending on its diameter, creating an impression of relief and dynamism. The name Urubu, meaning \"black bird\" in the Tupi language, evokes the circular flight of this bird above the cerrado plains of Brazil, where capim dourado grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere does the golden glow of these vegetable gold earrings come from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegetable gold, another name for capim dourado, is a herbaceous plant scientifically known as Syngonanthus nitens. Its flower stems display a naturally metallic, golden shimmer that owes nothing to chemistry. The colour comes from the way light reflects off the microscopic structure of the stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows in the wetlands of the Brazilian cerrado, primarily in the Jalapao region of the state of Tocantins. Stems are harvested after flowering and natural drying — an annual cycle that allows the plant to regenerate without being destroyed. Artisans then weave the material by hand, continuing a traditional craft from the Tocantins region. For the Urubu earrings, selected stems are carefully wound around buriti fibre to form two perfectly circular rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the features of these Urubu 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: Pendant earrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Two concentric circles of different diameters\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 hooks\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 style these double circle capim dourado earrings?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Urubu earrings suit both casual and formal outfits. Their natural golden hue pairs beautifully with warm tones — camel, terracotta, off-white — yet also creates a striking contrast with black or navy.

Avoid direct contact with perfume, creams and chemicals — apply them before putting on your earrings. Remove your jewellery before showering or swimming, as prolonged immersion may affect the fibre. A soft, dry cloth is all you need for cleaning. Store your earrings in the pouch provided, away from moisture and direct sunlight. With these simple steps, your vegetable gold jewellery will keep its golden colour for years, developing 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\u003eWhat is vegetable gold?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eVegetable gold is the name given to capim dourado (Syngonanthus nitens), a herbaceous plant whose flower stems display a naturally golden, metallic sheen. This colour involves no dye or chemical treatment — it comes from the way light reflects off the microscopic structure of the stems. Capim dourado grows in the Brazilian cerrado, mainly in the Jalapao region.

It is in its wetlands, known as veredas, that the capim dourado used for Oroona jewellery grows. The Jalapao region in the state of Tocantins is the main area where this plant thrives. The cerrado is characterised by its plains, dunes and crystal-clear water springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAre capim dourado jewellery pieces unisex?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe Urubu earrings, like most capim dourado jewellery, feature a clean, geometric design that is not exclusively feminine or masculine.
