Handwoven of grass that only grows in Brazil, this bangle shimmers with a warmth and luster I'd more commonly associate with gold jewelry in ambient light.
Introduced by a fellow lover of Brazilian creativity, I met Cristiane at a coffee house where she first showed me her leaf earrings. My eyes then moved to her wrist where she was wearing a couple of different gold bangles that were shimmering in the light. It was only upon closer inspection that I realized the twisted bangle was made of strands of grass. I knew immediately I had to include it in the VirtuArte collection.
Certain to be a conversation starter, the story behind this bangle is compelling particularly for your eco-minded friends. These weaving techniques were brought to the region by Xerente Indians and have been passed down from generation to generation. The Brazilian government ensures all of Cristiane's artisans follow sustainable harvesting practices so this natural material continues to grow in quantities to support the traditional craft. These seeking something rare will appreciate that the bangle is made from golden grass that is only grown in the Jalapao valley and harvested once a year.
