Tucupi Earrings

These earrings, crafted from .925 sterling silver, are an exquisite and distinctive piece of jewelry that highlights the exceptional craftsmanship of a talented artisan. The focal point of these earrings take on the appearance of a radiant sun, capturing the essence of illumination and vitality. However, what truly distinguishes this creation is the innovative use of tucupi, an artificial vegetable-derived material that has been transformed into a dazzling gem.

Tucupi, a traditional culinary ingredient originating from Belém, Brazil, is derived from the manioc plant's root. Known for its vibrant yellow hue and zesty flavor, tucupi is a culinary staple in the Amazon region. By incorporating tucupi into the earring's design, it not only pays homage to the local heritage but also contributes to the sustainable growth of the vegetable gemstone production chain.

Accompanying the tucupi gem are two smaller gemstones: garnet and smoky quartz. Garnet symbolizes love, friendship, and trust, while smoky quartz is associated with equilibrium and stability. Together, these gemstones enhance the earring's aesthetic and significance, ensuring it becomes a cherished piece for years to come. Embrace this earring as a representation of your connection to the Earth and the enduring influence of nature.

Handmade from .925 sterling silver, this piece features a created tucupi gemstone, complemented by garnet and smoky quartz gemstones.

Sterling silver tarnishes naturally. To maintain its shine, gently polish your earrings with a soft, non-abrasive polishing cloth.
Gemstones: Avoid harsh blows or scratches. Clean any minor dirt or debris on the gemstones with a soft, damp cloth.
