Vegetable Ivory

Tagua, also known as vegetable ivory, is a seed from a palm tree that grows in tropical regions of South America.  Vegetable ivory is one of nature's heroes - it's use in jewellery, fashion and textiles is helping to stop the slaughter of elephants for their ivory, it is 100% sustainable and also the fine dust produced from working the nut is used to enrich livestock feed.  Vegetable ivory jewellery feels beautifully silky on your skin, is distinctive and alive with colour and, what's more, it makes very funky jewellery.  It's also great knowing that the fantastic piece of unique jewellery you're wearing is giving so much back!  Please look closely at the pictures and you'll see the structure and veins of the pure cellulose material in the nut which makes each piece individual and so natural - something you'll never get with resin jewellery or artificial material.  Read more about vegetable ivory....
