Behind the Craft

“When I work with buriti, I remember my grandmother’s hands doing the same.
It’s not just work — it’s a way of remembering.”

— Naire, Artisan from Jalapão

Before a piece of GAOBARO jewelry finds its place on your skin, it begins with earth, fiber, and human hands.

This is where creation starts — in quiet moments of intention, with the golden shimmer of capim dourado and the strength of buriti palm.

In this short glimpse, you’ll see Naire, an artisan from Jalapão, working with two of our most treasured materials: golden grass and buriti fiber. Harvested sustainably from Brazil’s Cerrado, each carries not just beauty, but history.

With patient hands, Naire softens, shapes, and weaves — a rhythm passed from one generation to the next. Nothing rushed. Nothing artificial. Only memory, skill, and deep reverence for the land.

At GAOBARO, we honor these moments behind the craft.
To create is to preserve — the materials, the techniques, and the stories woven into each piece.

Every piece begins here — with patient hands, natural fibers, and a deep respect for the Earth.
