Grass of Freedom: A Golden Legacy of the Cerrado

In the heart of Brazil’s Cerrado, one of the country’s great natural biomes alongside the Amazon, grows a plant that gleams like sunlight Capim Dourado, the Golden Grass. From its luminous fibers, beauty, culture, and history are interwoven, giving life to our Grass of Freedom Collection.

This collection celebrates the Quilombola women, descendants of African people who sought freedom and built new lives in the Cerrado after escaping enslavement. Through their artistry, they have preserved a heritage of resilience, transforming the gifts of the land into symbols of strength, independence, and beauty.

Each year, the community gathers for the Capim Dourado harvest, a moment filled with care and purpose. The grass is collected with techniques that protect its natural cycle, ensuring it grows back the following year. This sustainable harvest is a profound act of respect for nature — one that keeps both the ecosystem and their traditions alive.

For these women, working with Golden Grass is more than craftsmanship. It is a connection to their ancestors, their freedom, and their future. Every piece carries the Cerrado’s golden light and the enduring legacy of African-descendant communities who continue to shape Brazil’s cultural landscape.

Explore the Grass of Freedom Collection and bring home a piece of this golden heritage — jewelry that carries the warmth of the sun, the strength of tradition, and the timeless beauty of nature.
