{"product_id":"boucles-doreilles-creoles-capim-dourado-tresse","title":"Cerrado Wide Hoop Earrings, Hand-Braided","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"oo-intro\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Cerrado earrings are wide hoop earrings in capim dourado, hand-woven from naturally golden stems. Their generous, densely woven circle catches the light with every movement, revealing shimmering reflections reminiscent of the Brazilian cerrado plains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eCapim dourado, the golden grass that grows in the Jalapao region of Brazil, shows its full presence here in a bold, rounded form. The dried stems are interlaced around buriti palm fibres to create a thick, even weave — the hallmark of artisanal craftsmanship from the Tocantins region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWide capim dourado woven hoops: why does the thickness of the weave transform a simple round earring?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thickness of the weave gives the circle a visual presence that finer hoops simply cannot achieve. The volume of the woven fibre creates a play of textures where each golden strand reflects light differently, turning the classic hoop shape into a piece with striking character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach stem of capim dourado is selected and then hand-woven around a support thread of buriti, a local palm. This meticulous work produces a dense, uniform weave that gives the Cerrado hoops their full, structured silhouette. The width of the circle and the thickness of the weave work together to create an earring that draws attention without any artifice. The golden colour is entirely natural, arising from the microscopic structure of the stems that reflects light — no dye, no chemical treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere does the golden colour of these vegetable gold earrings come from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden colour of capim dourado is entirely natural. It results from the reflection of light on the microscopic structure of the Syngonanthus nitens stems, without any dye or chemical treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis golden grass grows in the wetlands of the Brazilian cerrado, mainly in the Jalapao region, Tocantins state, in central Brazil. The stems are harvested after the plant has flowered and dried naturally. Harvesting does not destroy the plant, which regrows each year. You are wearing a renewable plant material whose golden sheen varies subtly with the angle of light, shifting from bright gold to matte gold, offering a visual richness that uniform metals cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the characteristics of these Cerrado 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: Hoop earrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wide circle, thick dense weave\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 post fastenings\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 capim dourado hoops for everyday and evening occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cerrado hoops work just as well with casual outfits as with evening wear.

By giving the Cerrado hoops, you are offering an object crafted according to an artisanal tradition from the Tocantins region in Brazil. The material is a naturally golden plant fibre, harvested renewably. It is a gift that carries a story the recipient can share: that of a golden grass from the Brazilian cerrado, transformed by hand into jewellery.\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 plant fibre from a species that renews itself naturally each year. Harvesting the dried stems does not destroy the plant, which regrows the following season. The entire production process is manual — harvesting, drying, selecting and weaving — without heavy chemical or industrial procedures.
