Tagua Jewelry

Tagua (also known as vegetable ivory) is a natural, sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to animal ivory that is made into truly unique and beautiful creations including jewelry. The nuts come from of the Phytelephas palm tree, which grows deep in the tropical rainforests of Ecuador and other parts of South America.

The production of tagua jewelry and other items provides income for local artisans and creates jobs that support responsible forest management and conservation.
