Tagua or ”vegetable ivory ” jewellery is natural, sustainable, organic & handmade by artisans in Colombia. The tagua seeds are the product of the tagua palm, which grows in the northwest areas of South America (Colombia, Ecuador,Panama). When the nuts have dried they become very hard and the colour and consistency resembles that of vegetable ivory.
The use of the Tagua nut is an alternative to Ivory which encourages the growth and maintenance of the Tagua Palms. It provides an alternative to cutting down rainforests for farming and promotes the reforestation and preservation of the rain forests, stimulating the local economies and microenterprises in South America. Our tagua accessories are produced under a rigorous sustainable process, where the artisans thrive in a healthy environment and are paid fair wages.
Tagua jewels are accessories that are conscious, naturally beautiful, light-weight, sustainable and great to wear!
