A beautiful composition of tagua shapes: 6 multicolor sticks placed in between a small sphere and a disc hanging from a silk lace ribbon. A small acai seed on the back makes it adjustable for added versatility.
All these tagua beads are sustainable, organic, vegan and biodegradable: 100% vegetable ivory (Tagua seeds).
This tagua necklace is fair trade and ethically handmade in Colombia. When ripe, tagua seeds are harvested and dried for 6 to 9 months. After losing all their moisture they become rock solid resembling ivory in color, texture and hardness, hence their nickname: “Vegetable Ivory”. At this point the hard seeds can be polished, dyed, cut and shaped into beautiful beads that become natural jewelry.
