Beautiful, colourful necklace of smooth, silky tagua and little sterling silver beads. The rich, vibrant colours allow the natural grain of the tagua seed to show through and the addition of the sterling silver adds extra shine and sparkle. This necklace lies flat on your neck, is lightweight and comfortable to wear and fastens with a handcrafted, pure silver, hammered toggle clasp. Vegetable ivory (tagua) is one of nature's heroes - it's use in jewellery, fashion and textiles is helping to stop elephants being killed for their ivory, it is 100% sustainable and also the fine dust produced from working the nut is used to enrich livestock feed.
