Buriti, a plant material

Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) is an emblematic palm tree in several Brazilian landscapes. This documentary image connects the creation to the plant origin of the material used by artisans.

How to wear it

The red of the buriti combined with the golden hue creates a radiant duo. Opt for neutral bases such as sand beige, ecru or off-white to bring out the botanical beauty of the jewel, or choose an intense contrast with an emerald green or navy blue top, subtly refined.

Capim Dourado embodies Brazilian craftsmanship: it harmonizes wonderfully with fluid and noble fabrics such as linen, soft crepe or light cotton. Choose clean and airy cuts to allow the necklace to express itself fully.

This jewel is a strong piece on its own. Limit other accessories: a delicate ring or a pair of discreet earrings will be enough to maintain an elegant balance.

Integrate rustic or woven elements into your look, a natural raffia bag, camel leather sandals or a structured linen blazer, to reinforce the organic spirit of the jewel.

Opt for an updo or partially tied hairstyle: a messy low bun, a half-updo, or simply pulled slightly back. This will focus attention on your neck.

Capim dourado, or "golden grass," jewelry are artisanal treasures from Brazil, created from the native grass of the Jalapão region.

Local artisans skillfully weave this natural grass to produce unique pieces, ranging from bracelets to earrings.

The distinctive golden hues of these jewels capture the sparkle of the Brazilian sun, adding a touch of nature and elegance to each creation.
