Buriti, a plant-based material
The Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) is an iconic palm tree found in various Brazilian landscapes. This documentary image helps connect the creation to the plant origin of the material used by the artisans.
How to wear it
The red of the buriti combined with the golden hue creates a radiant duo. Rely on neutral bases like sand beige, ecru, or off-white to bring out the botanical beauty of the jewelry, or opt for an intense contrast with a subtly refined emerald green or navy blue top.
Capim Dourado embodies Brazilian craftsmanship: it pairs wonderfully with fluid, high-quality fabrics like linen, soft crepe, or light cotton. Choose clean, airy cuts to let the necklace express itself fully.
This piece of jewelry is a statement on its own. Limit other accessories: a thin ring or a pair of discreet earrings will be enough to maintain an elegant balance.
Incorporate rustic or woven elements into your look—a natural raffia bag, camel leather sandals, or a structured linen blazer—to enhance the organic spirit of the jewelry.
Opt for an updo or a half-up hairstyle: a messy low bun, a tousled half-ponytail, or simply pulled slightly back. This will draw attention to your neck.
Capim dourado, or "golden grass," jewelry are artisanal treasures from Brazil, created from grass native to 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 glow of the Brazilian sun, adding a touch of nature and elegance to every creation.
