Discover the Capim Dourado jewelry selected by Amazonikaa from partner artisans in Brazil. Naturally golden, this plant fiber native to Tocantins is handcrafted to create luminous and unique designs.

Capim Dourado, Brazil's plant-based gold

At first glance, it could be mistaken for fine strands of gold. Yet this glow comes from a plant.

Capim Dourado, literally “golden grass” in Portuguese, is a naturally golden plant fiber from the state of Tocantins, Brazil. Its distinctive color and shine make it immediately recognizable.

From material to jewelry

In the hands of artisans, the fine stems of Capim Dourado are worked into bracelets, earrings, necklaces and other creations.

Each piece therefore bears the particularities of handwork: behind the jewelry are a natural material, gestures and the craftsmanship of the person who made it.

Amazonikaa does not manufacture this jewelry. We select it from our partner artisans in Brazil to introduce their creations and the diversity of Brazilian craftsmanship to Europe.

Another way to discover Brazil

Capim Dourado also expresses something essential to Amazonikaa: Brazil's richness lies not only in its landscapes, but also in the women and men who transform materials from their territories through their craftsmanship.

Choosing a Capim Dourado creation means wearing a singular piece of jewelry while discovering a material and a facet of Brazilian craftsmanship that are still little known in Europe.

Caring for jewelry made from natural materials

Taking care of your handmade jewelry

The creations selected by Amazonikaa are handmade using a variety of materials: beads (miçanga), seeds, plant fibers, wood, Capim Dourado, natural stones, or metallic elements, depending on the piece.

To preserve their appearance over time:

  • avoid prolonged contact with water and humidity;

  • avoid direct contact with perfumes, cosmetics, alcohol, and other chemical products;

  • avoid prolonged exposure to the sun;

  • avoid friction with surfaces that may scratch or damage the materials;

  • after use, gently clean your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth;

  • preferably store it separately, in a dry place away from direct light.

Each material has its own characteristics. When specific precautions are necessary, please also refer to the information provided on the jewelry’s product page.
