Golden Grass
Nature really makes beautiful things; there is a place in Northern Brazil, where a wild plant "shines like gold". This wonder of nature called Capim Dourado in Brazil, is grown in the heart of Jalapão (Tocantins state). Vegetal gold is an unusual herbaceous plant, naturally adorned with a magnificent and impressive golden metallic colour.
THIS NATURALLY GOLDEN REED, USED TO MAKE JEWELRY AND DECORATIVE OBJECTS, IS HARVESTED ONLY FOR ONE MONTH, FROM SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER. DURING THIS PERIOD, ITS STEMS COME TO MATURITY AND TAKE ON THEIR GOLDEN COLOUR. ITS HARVESTING IS STRICTLY REGULATED IN BRAZIL: ONLY THE STEMS ARE HARVESTED IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE ROOTS, THE BIODIVERSITY AND TO AVOID ITS EXTINCTION.

Vegetal gold
The harvesting of vegetal gold is the most important economic resource in the region. The women living in the villages near the Jalapão work on the stems once they are harvested.
Artisanal creation

The art of working on the ‘Capim Dourado’ comes from the indigenous ‘Xerente’ people who inhabited the region. Highly skilled in the art of weaving, the craftsmen have passed on this knowledge from generation to generation. Today, it is in the hands of the ‘Mumbuca’ women, a matriarchal community living in the ‘Jalapão’ region. Very trendy in Brazil, this highly prized herb for artisanal creation is a novelty establishing itself in Europe.
