About TaguaAll products are handcrafted from a palm tree nut native to the lush tropical rainforests of Ecuador. Also referred to as the Ecuadorean Ivory Palm, the Tagua tree produces several bushels of seed pods a year with up to 100 Tagua nuts per pod. These nuts are then harvested, dried, and crafted into a wide range of products. Also known as Vegetable Ivory, Tagua has the same appearance, density, and feel of animal ivory without doing any harm to any animals or the rainforests where it is gathered.About the Jewelry All Organic Tagua Jewelry is handmade and dyed using high-grade certified organic vegetable dyes imported from Italy. Due to the scarcity and uniqueness of each piece, no two pieces are exactly the same.
