Vegetable Ivory known as Tagua



Tagua is a nut that grows on trees in the Amazon Basin of South America. Some of the best Tagua Beads in the world is from Ecuador, where a significant portion of Tagua Buttons are harvested. Tagua Nut has also been termed ‘Vegetable Ivory’ because of its density and ability to absorb color so well. The brilliance of Tagua Jewelry is so incredible that we worked with Artisans For Fashion to transform it into beautiful Handcrafted Jewelry pieces seen below.
