Hand-woven exclusively by left-handed Brazilian artisans, these natural golden grass earrings shimmer 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 and when she showed me her leaf earrings I was immediately struck by the warm shine and deep glow of the work. The effect was nearly that of beautifully hand-crafted gold earrings. It's only upon closer inspection that the individual strands of grass were visible, a nearly magical transformation. I knew immediately that I had to make these a part of the VirtuArte collection.
Sure to be a subject of conversation, it's wonderful that the story behind these earrings is so compelling. Only left-handed Brazilian artisans are able to produce the graceful curve, making it a great item for left-handers. The fact that the Brazilian government ensures that all of Cristiane's artisans follow sustainable harvesting practices means that your eco-minded friends will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Those seeking something rare will appreciate that these earrings are made from golden grass that is only grown in the Jalapao valley and harvested just once a year.
