A really cute Tagua flower pendant on a steel chain (18 inches long).
A single dried Tagua seed is sliced, then laser-cut to perfection to create the flower shape (hypotrochoid style). Each Tagua flower is all-natural: sustainable, organic, vegan and biodegradable. This pendant is 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.
